The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya
Haruhi Suzumiya
Voiced by: Aya Hirano (Japanese), Wendee Lee (English)
Haruhi Suzumiya is the title character
and leader of the SOS Brigade. Her energetic and eccentric character
proves to be a driving force for the series. Her eccentricities cause
her to stand out from day one, such as openly declaring her desire to
meet aliens, time travelers and espers as part of her high school
entrance greeting to the entire class. Haruhi pulls various stunts as
'publicity' for her S.O.S Brigade, a group she formed thanks to a
sarcastic remark courtesy of Kyon. Such stunts range from dragging her
entire group around the city searching for 'weird phenomena' to dressing
Mikuru and herself (and Nagato if she could afford it) up in bunny girl
outfits and passing out fliers by the front gate. As the story
progresses she and Kyon become close to the point where she begins to
develop feelings for him.
Kyon
- Kyon is the narrator and the main protagonist
of the series. He is a student, with whom Haruhi willingly interacted.
Even though Haruhi is the title character, the story is told through his
viewpoint. Through narration and dialogue, he provides his insight,
perspective, and opinions on the series' events. He is both straight-man
and a source of sardonic humour. While Kyon's intentions toward
defending his Brigade fellows from Haruhi's madness are often well
intentioned, he often has to struggle to overcome the crazy and often
ridiculous obstacles barring his way. While he's not afraid to stand up
to a Haruhi tangent, he does exhibit a form of fear over her occasional
troublesome antics that could threaten expulsion or worse. Kyon is, in
fact, a nickname. Kyon's real name is yet to be revealed.
Itsuki Koizumi
He is an esper (one who possesses Extra-Sensory Perception), who had
suddenly acquired the knowledge and powers of an esper three years
prior to the present story. Along with other espers, he uses his power
to combat the Haruhi-created beings of energy within Closed Spaces
during times of fitful irritation at the lack of strange phenomena in
her world. Just like the other members, his so-called Agency and its
members are never explored in-depth. In the movie, Itsuki was pushed
into playing a typical, somewhat dizzy and scatterbrained high school
boy with powerful hidden abilities that could only be brought out by a
catalyst of some sort.
Mikuru Asahina
- She is a time traveler, assigned in the future to investigate the
reason for the inability to travel to any point in time before three
years prior to the present story. Mikuru is very shy and timid and
unfortunately, the odd end out of many a Haruhi eccentricity. Whenever
she speaks of her mission or of her time plane, she inserts the word
'classified' into spots that would ordinarily reveal important
information. In the English version, she answers all of Kyon's probing
questions with 'That's classified'. Occasionally, Mikuru's older self
will appear in the same time plane, essentially threatening a time
paradox should anyone other than Kyon find out, meaning these
visitations are exceedingly rare and unpredictable. Mikuru was forced by
Haruhi to play the role of a time traveling battle waitress from the
future in a parody of many different magical girl anime, all of which
contain Haruhi's favorite theme: moe.
Yuki Nagato
She is a Data Entity whose responsibility involves the monitoring of
Haruhi and the investigation of the events three years prior to the
present story. As a Data Entity, she possesses the ability to manipulate
the surrounding environment as she sees fit. For the movie, Yuki, never
heard to voice a complaint of any kind, was pushed into playing the
evil alien witch, complete with the stereotypical witch costume and the
mysterious talking cat belonging to Kyon. Yuki rarely speaks, choosing
her books over idle conversation nine times out of ten. On the rare
occasion she does choose to explain something, all middle ground is
lost. She goes in depth and in detail, with nothing left out, often going into run-on sentences without even stopping for a breath
