I was wondering, what’s your favorite memory of this blog?

[Wow... I have a LOT. But to preface, some backstory is needed. I previously roleplayed Kyouya with many friends. Even after that time ended, I still had many ideas on how his life would be post-manga. I brought it up to my friend @broadswordandpistol who then enabled me to do this thing. LOL. Thank you by the way I remember being unsure of it at first. I was still between jobs... but I took a leap with the too much time I had in my hands. Then it became a way of entertaining those with too much time on their hands. ;) And the way I wrote Kyouya was very time-specific. He graduated highschool roughly 2007 or 2008, then went on to Harvard after that. In between job hunting and eventually lunch breaks at my then-job, I enjoyed working within the confines of that time period. Pouring research into 00s culture, reminiscing on the tech and challenges of that time, imagining places he might've went to. Right after work, I'd hop on my desktop, and start doodling answers on my dying wacom tablet. And boy, did I love dropping tiny easter eggs throughout the entries. From anime and manga references, to things I like, to inside jokes with friends... I loved queueing aesthetic posts and canon things that would hint on the next entry. I loved the planning, the challenge of creating a narrative with the questions I received. @timugamaileilani hands down sent the best material to work with iircc. There were times I answered on the spot too. Creatively avoiding or answering love confessions, sassing out on people who tried to bully Kyouya. One of my favorites was when this anon posing as a toddler called him a meanie. I love that he just drove off BYE his Rolls-Royce. 🤣🤣🤣

Ahhh, I have so many fond memories of this blog. Thank you for this trip down memory lane!]

its past june 3rd…does this mean you’ll come back

[ The truth is, my priorities and values have shifted after 7 years.

I have mentioned before that I felt the care I poured into the character is something now prefer to pour on my life and the people around me. It came to a point where I realized what I had written Kyouya to struggle with is something I had a hard time with as well. So I chose to practice what I'm trying to preach through this blog.

However... If you send in questions about Kyouya or the blog by the end of 2025, I'd be happy to answer some of them as a writer.

Perhaps that will bring some closure to people, ne? ^_^ ]

[kagenoking]

i'm pretty sure i sent you an earlier ask not too long ago, but finding your blog drove me to start drawing Kyoya again in college and put my art out there a bit more! what an amazing inspiration your blog is. hope you're doing well, wherever you are.

[It's nice to hear you found this blog to be a bit of a positive influence. : ) And yes, I realized much of Kyouya's isolation is something I needed to work on in my personal life. Writing it made me more self-aware! I've grown so much since and I am doing better than when I made our favorite megane come to life. Take care always]

[kagenoking]

Hi, just wanted to say welcome back!! I adored this blog in high school, and now I'm 23 going back to college and I'm looking forward to enjoying any more characterizations and story bits you next share. It's a fun coincidence to me that I'm now in college and figuring out adulthood, kind of like your Kyouya :) cheers!

[Hello, I think this was years ago when you sent this. I have no way of telling anymore. I definitely remember you as one of this blog's bigger fans. Maybe the blog made more sense to you now you're older and navigating life. : ) In any case, I hope you are well and thriving. ]

[kagenoking]

Im glad I saw this blog

I agree and find that this version of Kyoya is my favorite. I actually wrote him and envisioned him to be exactly like this.

[I have no idea when this was sent, being away for so long. Whoever you are, I am glad you enjoy this interpretation.

I'd be interested to see yours as well.

-K.M.]

[kagenoking]

[Hello. It’s been a while, I know. As I may have mentioned in my last entries, life beyond Ouran has taken over, and my attention has shifted to writing out my personal future over Kyouya’s. Enough about us, however. I’m here to share this gift from a thoughtful friend who took years to lovingly produce this video... some parts even feature art from this blog. A short background: 10 years ago on a certain roleplay site, I befriended @kokoronoking​, the Tamaki to this Kyouya. My friend has since been a huge influence on Kyouya’s portrayal. Much like the actual host club, we had an insanely fun time in our roles, making people happy in the process. Those were 2 carefree years. In that span of time, we poured an extraordinary amount of thought into the characters, down to writing about their futures... and this blog was a byproduct of it. So if you enjoyed this blog in its heyday, Tamaki-mun is one of the reasons why. To Tamaki-mun: Thanks for this wonderful video and for helping bring this blog to life. While we may have moved on from our time playing “family” with guests, I hope you continue to make people around you smile the way you did in our time. Thank you ‘brother’. Here’s to more years of friendship -fistbump- ]

So i just discovered this blog and I love this show so much but I don't know who to follow for more ohshc content!! Can you recommend some good blogs for me? My dash is sorely missing this show and I need more 😭😭

I will happily recommend some very talented individuals who have very entertaining blogs! We love Ouran in our own ways and it makes for a great variety of content!

Blogs specifically for Ouran:

@hostagine @startingtodayyouareahost @fuck-yeahkyoharu @ouranbound @super-rich-and-beautiful @commonerscoffeeee @kagenoking

Blogs that write for Ouran:

@erza-haninozuka @wichols @insomniacfics @vannahfanfics @sakuraxkiss

I tried to include as many blogs as I could from memory so if there are any I missed please tag them below!

[kagenoking]

If you don't end up returning, then could you possibly tell us what you originally had planned for the blog? Like the story line?

[Only if you pay me.

Just kidding. Goodness, joking under this account doesn't fly well, does it?

I had a brief outline of his 7 years after high school... which ends in a cliffhanger, to be honest. Most of the writing on this blog was from creating stories with the asks received and a roleplay I had 10 years ago. There really isn't much to disclose aside from headcanons.

Oh I know, why don't we make a game out of it?

-If Ouran Season 2 comes out

-OR this still remains untouched by June 3rd, 2025 (the 7th year)

-and for some reason people still remember this exists...

Then I'll entertain as many questions as I possibly could about this blog and this characterization.

That would be fun, don't you think?

-K.M.]

[kagenoking]

aaaaa I loved this blog so much! Are you ever coming back?

[Hello, it's nice to see that people missed this blog. I would very much love to come back. Ah, if only this could be a full time job! I would love to draw and write about Kyouya forever if I were paid to. I lend my disappearance to my own real life becoming this exciting narrative, one that I would only write about. Things like... The future is an exciting thing that we build towards.. Time being a precious commodity that you may never have again once it slips away... Learning how to be vulnerable... Holding dear friends and people who love us... that in the grand scheme of things, we shouldn't take them for granted because we are caught up in our own pursuits. Those were a few themes touched on in this blog. I suppose I realized, I wanted to live out these ideas I’ve written and wanted to write about. I wanted to be as excited about my future as I was excited about planning Kyouya's. So the love I once poured on his character I now pour into something more tangible and real... in my own future, and in the people around me. Perhaps this was a long-winded dramatic non-answer. I apologize. But in all seriousness, I'm happy you found joy in this blog. I hope to be back one day, though at this point in time I admittedly don't see it happening. On the possibility that I do, there's no doubt my new experiences will breathe life and credibility into this place. Would you believe I've started exploring the world of investing? I've admittedly become a bit more like Kyouya... more opportunistic and business-minded. Life imitates art, I suppose. Hehe. I hope everyone else who loved this blog is doing well. Let's all take a cue from our favorite megane: May we all have dreams to chase... but even louder, may we never forget to be vulnerable and love the people who matter most. -K.M.

I might just be dumb, but what is a conglomerate?

[No worries. No one should ever worry about asking dumb questions.

And I don’t know if you’re addressing Kyouya, or if you’ve already googled it by now. Essentially, a conglomerate is a group of companies under a giant name… hence the Ootori Group. One good real life example is the Volkswagen Group. Aside from Volkswagen, they also own other car brands like Porsche, Audi, and Lamborghini.

We don't know exactly what the whole Ootori Group entails, except that they seem to diversify in business. I do have my own ideas outside of what are mentioned in the series... which I may or may not explore in the future. Let's keep it at that, shall we?

Hi, could I please get O and P for Kyoya? Thanks!

Interests and fondness headcannons for Kyoya coming right up 💫- mod baka

-Kyoya has a big interest in economics, mainly the stock markets side rather than the more political side. Since studying business at university he probably has print outs of current Japanese stock exchanges hung up on a board in his room.

-He’s also a fan of classic art and architecture and probably has a few books on the subject. He also sometimes visits various gallery’s and museums in his free time. He would also appreciate art and literature with a slight political undertones as well.

-Has taken up painting as a hobby on various occasions, and is quite fond of watercolour based paintings.

-He has a fondness to more bitter tastes, he prefers his coffee black with no sugar and prefers 100% dark chocolate over other more sweet tastes.

-He has a liking for lavender and citrus based scents, especially from a significant other.

[ouranselite]

After reading the manga, I’ve often wondered if my love for Kyoya has clouded my vision of his father. Does Yoshio being a horrible father make him a horrible person? Obviously, he’s absolutely awful in the anime. In the manga, Yoshio does actually do some things later on that, while greatly benefit him and his company, also benefit others (specifically certain individuals, but I don’t want to give away spoilers). Things that - from a business standpoint - weren’t entirely necessary. I guess that’s where my issue is. I hate him, especially as a father, but I can’t say he isn’t human. Despite popular belief, I do think he really wants his sons, especially Kyoya, to succeed. (I don’t know what his deal is with Fuyumi. He’s just a complete douche toward her). I think he saw his potential early on and pushed him so hard because of it. Still, I don’t think he went about it correctly.

Things I CAN’T blame him for :

1. Having high expectations (even if they are unrealistic - remember Kyoya does surpass those expectations which is astounding).

2. Being tough. (In his position, you’d have to be).

3. Prioritizing the business. (Just because I’ve seen this happen to people personally and sometimes they genuinely do not realize it).

Things I ABSOLUTELY blame him for :

1. Never once giving so much as a “well done” when one of his kids achieves greatness. Even if he isn’t affectionate, he could at least give an approving nod. 

2. Crossing the line from strict to just mean. (I’m hesitant to say abusive because I don’t consider a slap to be abuse - also, he did not slap Kyoya in the manga so…). Mean? Yes. Abusive? Ehh…not really. Negligent, maybe.

3. Prioritizing the business to the point that it seems his family doesn’t matter EXCEPT for the purpose of continuing the company.

And thus concludes my ramble. Feel free to chat with me about it and/or disagree!
