Itsuki Koizumi Husbando

Itsuki Koizumi is a main character in the Haruhi Suzumiya franchise (original light novel series, TV anime, and manga). He is the fifth person to join the SOS Brigade, and was recruited by Haruhi Suzumiya because he fit her idea of a "mysterious transfer student", after he was transferred into North High. He later reveals himself to Kyon as an esper, working for a group he only acknowledges as the 'Agency' (translated as The 'Organization' in the anime). According to Kyoko Tachibana, he in fact founded it. Though he was sent to North High by the 'Agency' to observe Haruhi, he believes that it was Haruhi's will that really brought him there. Due to his "distinguished service and dedication to the brigade," Haruhi promotes Koizumi to Deputy Chief. He is voiced by Daisuke Ono in the Japanese dub and Johnny Yong Bosch in the English dub. Koizumi has an unflappable polite and affable manner and likes to go into long lectures and explanations with very expressive hand gestures. However, after numerous hints to this extent, in "Love at First Sight" he confesses to Kyon that his polite manner is an act, and underneath he is often stressed out or even angry. He excels at academics. Heavily intellectual, he enjoys arguing contradictory theories for rhetorical purposes. He often tells Kyon that he was "just kidding" about a grave statement he made earlier, making it ambiguous whether the statement was one of those strictly-for-fun theories or he is simply trying to disclaim responsibility for leading Kyon's thoughts in a certain direction. He's characterized as being very bad at board games and cards, though in the anime version of "Remote Island Syndrome Part 1" Kyon loses to him at "Old Maid". Koizumi is regarded as very attractive by the girls at North High due to both his looks and his mannerisms (as mentioned in The Surprise, for instance).
