He is extremely well-respected and well-liked by everyone who knows him however, when tired, he can become talkative and somewhat flirtatious, which surprises those unaccustomed to this side of his personality. His protective nature extends not only to Honey but to his friends and classmates, as well. Later in manga, he begins to speak more frequently, possibly because of the greater distance between himself and his best friend and cousin, Honey. In the anime and through most of the manga, Mori only speaks when something needs to be said his intelligence and observant nature taking in much more than many realize, making him a wise adviser to those who seek his counsel. His stoic and sometimes scary demeanor hides the fact that he has a peculiar connection with animals as seen in the manga when he adopts a stray tanuki and cares for a baby chick, and wherein it is also said that he has a 'fetish for small things' (Honey, Haruhi, etc.). He is a national champion in kendo and a skilled karate practitioner. Historically, the Morinozuka family had served the Haninozuka family for many generations before marriage joined the families, thus breaking the master-servant tradition despite this, Mori still faithfully looks out for Honey and attends to his wishes. He is rarely seen without his cousin and best friend, Honey, who is often found riding on his shoulders. As a Host, he is considered the 'Wild' type in the manga and the 'Strong-Silent' type in the anime. Takashi 'Mori' Morinozuka is a 3rd-year student at Ouran Academy and the second-oldest member of the Ouran Host Club.
