First, we've got Tamaki, the "King" of the club. He's dramatic, princely, and utterly clueless, like a golden retriever trying to understand quantum physics.
Then there's Kyoya, the cool and calculating vice-president. He's the brains behind the operation, and probably knows your credit score just by looking at you. He's basically the financial wizard of the group!
Next are the mischievous Hitachiin twins, Hikaru and Kaoru. They're pranksters, constantly trying to confuse everyone (especially Tamaki!). You can tell them apart… eventually.
Honey-senpai is a seemingly innocent, cake-loving cutie who's secretly a martial arts master. Don't let the bunny plushie fool you, he can take you down! Mori-senpai, is Honey-senpai's strong, silent protector. He's the strong and supportive type that everyone needs in their lives!
