Description

Houtarou Oreki is the protagonist of Classic Literature Club and Hyouka series. He is a student of Kamiyama High School, and a member of the school's Classic Lit Club. Houtarou is an apathetic person who prioritizes energy conservation above all else. Since he possesses brilliant deduction skills, he is often forced to use them by the ever-curious Eru Chitanda. Houtarou is a young boy with average height and build. He has unruly short taupe-brown hair, with bangs that reach just below his eyes. Houtarou's eyes are emerald-green. Usually after waking up, his hair is extremely messy. He has a "drowsy" and uninterested expression that only changes when something out of the ordinary happens. At school, he wears his school uniform, while out of school he dresses in a rather neutral fashion. Houtarou is an apathetic, cynical and calm person. Along with his passive demeanor, Houtarou seems to always "conserve energy" and never exerts effort on anything unless absolutely necessary; thus coming off as sluggard. Also, because of his attitude, Houtarou doesn't talk much, and he rarely gets mad, though he does appear to get irritated often. In general, Houtarou doesn't express his emotions much. On the other hand, he is surprisingly smart and clever, having brilliant deduction skills which allow him to solve different mysteries. Despite being overall brilliant, Houtarou gets very average grades. Houtarou can always find a solution if he gives it enough thought. Ironically, during his attempts to avoid wasting his energy, he only ends up wasting it more. For example, once he made a bet with Eru about being able to make a theory for any situation, in that case for a strange school announcement. Houtarou was right, however, he spent the whole day trying to figure out what the school announcement was about. In addition, it is so rare for him to be interested in something, that when he really wants to do something on his account, his friends become concerned and think he is sick. In the anime, Houtarou also has quite an overactive imagination, which is responsible for frequent hallucinations he has when Eru asks him for a help (for example, he imagines that Eru entraps him with growing flowers or he sees many Eru-like little angels surrounding him saying "I'm curious"). Despite all of that, Houtarou is capable of appreciating praise, and has shown to have a tendency of exerting more than what he would usually do when given positive feedback. As stated by Chitanda, Oreki is humble, and does not brag about his ability to solve mysteries, which possibly might be the main reason for Chitanda's admiration towards him. He can also be kind, and he does care about his friends, which is shown in the case of Mayaka's Valentine chocolate when he got mad at Satoshi for stealing and breaking it, as Satoshi disregarded Mayaka's feelings and tried to avoid answering her confession. During all of that, Satoshi hurt Eru because she blamed herself for her negligence that allowed that theft to be done. As Eru states, Houtarou is actually a kind person who often helps others, including herself and rarely does things for himself. He does show a sense of maturity and shrewdness, understanding Fuyumi's true motive for wanting the Classics Club to help with the group's independent film by writing the whole script, but being manipulated to think otherwise and understanding Mayaka's cousin's relationship and being able to explain it to Eru. Also, Houtarou respects other people, which is shown when he wanted to learn why his former English teacher wanted to look at helicopters outside (having known the reason but wanting to make sure because not doing so would be insensitive to his teacher's feelings).
