Takashi Morinozuka (a.k.a. Mori-sempai) is a tall, stoic, but kind upperclassman who is Honey-senpai's constant companion. The Morinozuka family had protected and served the Haninozuka family for many generations but marriage joined the families two generations ago, breaking the master-servant tradition. Despite that, Mori still faithfully protects Honey and attends to his wishes. His protectiveness extends to his classmates and fellow host club members, gaining him a certain level of respect. He does not talk very much and is considered the "wild" ("strong and silent" in the dub) type. However, when he is tired, he becomes uncharacteristically talkative and flirtatious. Mori's hobbies include kendo and karate. He's the only member of the Host Club to call Honey-senpai by his first name.
