Megumi Kanoya (鹿谷 愛 Kanoya Megumi) is a manga-character only. She is in Class 2-A with Tamaki Suoh and Kyoya Ootori.
Appearance
Megumi has long brown hair and large dark-colored eyes, like Haruhi Fujioka; however, Bisco Hatori herself said that this was only due to her poor artistic skills. Others refer to Megumi as Tamaki Suoh's "Dream Haruhi", meaning that she behaves the way Tamaki wishes Haruhi would in thinking of Tamaki as her surrogate "father".
Personality
Megumi is the type of person who will comply with anyone's silly request if it means helping the ones she loves. She latches herself onto Tamaki Suoh after he "saves" her from a horse during an Ouran Host Club equestrian outing. Tamaki is intrigued by her because she resembles Haruhi Fujioka, but acts more like he wishes Haruhi would act. Even so, he tells Megumi that they can't date. Still, she provides massive picnic lunches for the two of them to eat together.
Story
Megumi comes from a wealthy family that lives in Kobe, although she herself lives in Tokyo in order to attend Ouran Academy. Her father owns a traditional Japanese restaurant and she often helps him in the kitchen there. When her father becomes a comedian/chef, Megumi's mother forbids him to see Megumi ever again.
After the Host Club (with the help of Kazukiyo Soga and Ritsu Kasanoda) helps her to realize what she needs to do to support her father, she stops clinging to Tamaki Suoh, although it remains unknown as to whether or not she moves back to Kobe to be with her father.
