Other Characters

Kyon's Sister (キョンの妹, Kyon no Imōto?)

Voiced by: Sayaka Aoki (Japanese), Kari Wahlgren (English)

Not much is revealed about Kyon's fifth-grade sister; not even her real name is given. Other characters simply refer to the ten-year-old as Kyon's (Younger) Sister or Little Sis (妹ちゃん, Imōto-chan?). She has relatively few speaking lines in the anime, though she does appear in The Adventures of Mikuru Asahina: Episode 00, episode six, and fourteen, fulfilling the duties of an irrepressible younger sister. She has even fewer lines and appearances in the original novel version than the anime's rendition. Usually, her presence is made apparent whenever Kyon is at home.

She is carefree, happy and playful and is also the force behind the use of the nickname "Kyon"; after she heard their aunt call her older brother such, she started using the nickname as well in front of his school friends. From there, the name spread and eventually stuck. She seems to get along well with all of the SOS Brigade, especially with Mikuru and Tsuruya, sharing a sister-like relationship with them. In the manga Kyon sees a similarity between his sister and Haruhi, especially when they are playing detectives.

Okabe (岡部?)

Voiced by: Eiji Yanagisawa (Japanese), Michael McConnohie (English)

The homeroom teacher of Kyon and Haruhi's class. In charge of the handball club at the school. First name remains unknown.

Miyoko Yoshimura (Miyokichi) (吉村 美代子（ミヨキチ）, Yoshimura Miyoko?)

A girl whom Kyon wrote about when forced to come up with a romantic story for a Literary club assignment. Although Kyon appeared to have had a romantic date with her, the truth was she was a classmate and friend of his sister. She had asked Kyon to accompany her to see a horror movie that required a guardian over the age of twelve.

Nakagawa (中河?)

A friend of Kyon's from middle school. He believed he fell in love with Nagato at first sight. So extreme was this effect that he dedicated himself fully to his studies in the hopes of someday making himself a worthy suitor to Nagato, whom he regarded as a "goddess." In reality, he only saw the Data Overmind, with Nagato as an interface, and was overwhelmed by the wealth of knowledge it possessed. His ability to see the Entity is later removed by Nagato. Kyon suspects that he might have been an esper like Koizumi.

Yoshimi Sakanaka (阪中 佳実, Sakanaka Yoshimi?)

Voiced by: Mai Aizawa

The SOS Brigade's second client, who believed that the strange behavior exhibited by her dog Rousseau was the result of spiritual activity. After receiving a flier from Haruhi's ill-fated plan to advertise while wearing bunny girl costumes during the beginning of the school year, Sakanaka decided to follow the flier's advice and presented the brigade with her problem. Her problems were complicated when the SOS Brigade failed to find anything and her dog mysteriously became ill. Nagato was able to identify elementary silicon-based data lifeforms as the cause of the illness. With the help of Kyon and Koizumi, Nagato transferred the lifeforms to Shamisen in order to preserve the data lifeforms without causing the dogs to suffer. Sakanaka, along several other witnesses of Nagato's efforts, believes that her dog was cured using an obscure folk remedy Nagato had once read about.

Shamisen (シャミセン?)

Voiced by: Kenichi Ogata (Japanese), Steve Kramer (English) (normal voice), Michael McConnohie (substitute)

A stray cat selected by Haruhi to play the role of Yuki's familiar for their film The Adventures of Mikuru Asahina, Shamisen is unusual in the sense that he is a male calico cat. During the filming of the movie, Haruhi's reality-altering powers temporarily give Shamisen the ability to speak. He is adopted by Kyon after the completion of the movie, and is given the nickname "Shami" by his sister.

The word shamisen itself refers to a three-stringed Japanese musical instrument with a rectangular body traditionally covered with skin from a cat or a dog.

Shamisen #2 (シャミセン2号, Shamisen Ni-gō?)

Another cat who's nicknamed Shami Two (Shami-nii), although she is female. Itsuki Koizumi found her for a special SOS-Brigade related detective game, where Shami-nii served as a decoy and stand-in for the real Shamisen. After the game, she apparently becomes Koizumi's pet.

Kimidori (キミドリ?)

Voiced by: Minoru Shiraishi (Japanese), Sam Riegel (English)

Introduced in the spin-off, The Melancholy of Haruhi-chan Suzumiya, Kimidori is a dog that was made by Yuki using balloons Kyon had given her, which she then used her unique abilities on to create into a walking, talking creature, although the creation process was horrifying to say the least. Whilst it initially appears as a cute, friendly creature, Kimidori turns out to be another way of pulling pranks on Achakura when she's at home. He speaks in a rather distinguished voice and even requests to be called 'Kimidori-san'. His name comes from the color of the yellow-green balloon from which he is formed, as well as a reference to the main series' Emiri Kimidori.
