Ouran High School Host Club is a romantic comedy series with an 18 volume manga that ran from 2002 to 2010 and a 26 episode anime series that aired from April 5 to September 26, 2006. A visual novel adaptation was released for the PlayStation 2 in 2007, followed by a live action film in 2012.

The story follows Haruhi Fujioka, a scholarship student at the prestigious Ouran Academy, who accidentally destroys an antique vase belonging to the Host Club. Because of her gender ambiguity, she starts as an errand boy before being promoted to host when club president Tamaki Suoh recognizes her natural beauty, later discovering her true gender. The series follows her adventures with the Host Club as they help fellow students while supporting each other through difficult moments, as each member begins to develop romantic feelings for Fujioka.

The English dubbed version starred Caitlin Glass as Haruhi Fujioka, Vic Mignogna as Tamaki Suoh, J. Michael Tatum as Kyoya Ootori, Luci Christian as Mitsukuni Haninozuka, Travis Willingham as Takashi Morinozuka, Todd Haberkorn and Greg Ayres as twins Hikaru and Kaoru Hitachiin.
