Reynard Houshakuji (レイナード・宝積寺, Reinādo Hōshakuji) is a business associate of Yoshio Ootori and the father of Renge Houshakuji who is seen in Ep 04 - Attack of the Lady Manager! briefly, when he shows his Uki Doki Memorial! obsessed daughter a photograph in which Kyoya Ootori appears. 


Story

Reynard is a high-level business executive whose family is of substantial wealth and influence.  He indulges (or ignores) his daughter by allowing her to sit in front of a screen playing dating-sim video games all day. Upon his return from a business trip to Japan, he shows her a photograph of the Ootori family men, featuring Kyoya Ootori, who just so happens to look like her dating-sim dream guy, Miyabi Ichijo. Renge is immediately infatuated and flies to Japan to meet Kyoya, declaring herself to be his fianceé. She doesn't give her father a choice in letting her go, but he does allow her to stay at Ouran Academy, even for college. Reynard lives in Paris and he is an important business client of The Ootori Group. For that reason, and that reason only, Kyoya tells the members of the Ouran Host Club to tolerate the headstrong, rude and bossy girl when she first meets them.

Etymology

  • The name Reynard means "strong decision, fox, powerful advice" in Old German and Old French.
