Kyon

Kyon (キョン?) is a fictional character, and the protagonist and narrator of the Haruhi Suzumiya light novel series and The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya anime series; voiced by Tomokazu Sugita in the original Japanese version of the anime and Crispin Freeman in the English dubbed edition. The name Kyon is actually a nickname given to him, his real name has yet to be revealed in the series. His sister is responsible for spreading its use amongst his schoolmates, much to his embarrassment and annoyance, and he misses being called Onii-chan (お兄ちゃん?, Lit. "older brother") by his sister. In the ninth volume of the light novel (The Dissociation of Haruhi Suzumiya), his real name is hinted at in a conversation between himself and Sasaki; a girl who had known Kyon since middle school, who said that it was a very majestic name that didn't fit him.

Kyon's role in the series is as one of Haruhi's companions, and the second founding member of the SOS Brigade. Upon his entry into high school, he resigns himself to a lifestyle where his adolescent fantasies; such as aliens, time travelers, and espers, have no place. After one innocent conversation with her, Haruhi unexpectedly opens up to him and forces him into helping her form her new club, the SOS Brigade. His reputation and fate have since become entangled with Haruhi's.
