Horimiya is a school romance about Kyoko Hori and Izumi Miyamura, two classmates who find out that neither of them is quite who they seem at school. Hori looks like a popular, carefree girl but spends her free time running the household and caring for her little brother. Miyamura comes across as gloomy and invisible in class, yet outside school he looks like a different person. The cast is built around one school, Katagiri High: Hori's group of classmates, the student council led by Sengoku, friends from neighbouring classes, and the Hori family at home. This page covers 14 characters, from the two leads to their friends, the council members and Hori's family. Each profile describes the character as they appear early in the story, without spoilers.
Kyoko Hori is one of the two leads. At school she looks flashy and popular and gets top marks, so her classmates assume she has a busy social life. At home she is the one who keeps the house running: she cooks, cleans and looks after her younger brother Sota. She is direct, quick to get irritated and protective of the people she cares about. Her life changes when a quiet classmate turns up at her door.
Izumi Miyamura is the other lead, a quiet classmate of Hori's whom most of the class barely notices. At school he seems gloomy and plain, but away from school he looks and acts like a completely different person. He meets the Hori family by chance when he brings Sota home, and the boy adopts him as a big brother on the spot. Kind and a little awkward, he starts spending more and more time at the Hori house.
Toru Ishikawa is a cheerful, easygoing classmate and one of Hori's closest friends. He has feelings for her and is friendly with almost everyone. When Miyamura begins to open up at school, Ishikawa becomes the first boy to treat him as a real friend, and the two grow close fast. His relationship with Yuki Yoshikawa is one of the series' running side stories.
Yuki Yoshikawa is Hori's friend in class and a regular in her group, together with Ishikawa. She is down-to-earth, chatty and open about how she feels, which makes her easy to be around. Her relationship with Ishikawa is complicated, and how the two of them deal with it becomes one of the threads the anime follows next to Hori and Miyamura's story.
Kakeru Sengoku is the student council president and studies in a different class from the main group. He tries hard to look tough and in control, but underneath he is timid and easily flustered. He is one of the best students in the school and takes his council duties seriously. Much of his comedy comes from the gap between the confident president he wants to be and the nervous boy he actually is. He is dating Remi Ayasaki.
Remi Ayasaki is a student council member and Sengoku's girlfriend. She is cute and popular with boys, but she has no interest in their attention because her mind is on Sengoku. She has an unexpected passion for insects. Remi shares a class with fellow council member Sakura Kono, and the two often appear together around the council room.
Shu Iura is the mood-maker of the group: loud, upbeat and always ready to liven up a room. He is in a neighbouring class but spends plenty of time with Hori, Miyamura and the others. Behind the jokes he is a devoted older brother who dotes on his younger sister Motoko. His energy balances out the quieter members of the cast.
Sakura Kono is a student council member and the most dependable person in her circle of friends. She is often the one who reins Sengoku in when he gets carried away. She is a good cook and keeps a cool head when others panic. She also has feelings for Ishikawa, which ties her story to Hori's group of friends.
Akane Yanagi is a handsome, well-read student from another class whose friends describe him as having a refined, almost upper-class air. He stays calm and level-headed in situations that rattle everyone else. His eyesight is poor and he wears contact lenses. He drifts into the wider friend group and adds a cool, composed presence to the cast.
Motoko Iura is Shu's younger sister, a studious girl who also attends Katagiri High. She is quiet and serious, a clear contrast to her noisy brother, and she is protective of him in her own way. She keeps an eye on how her brother behaves at school and is not shy about telling him when he goes too far.
Sota Hori is Kyoko's little brother, a relaxed and good-natured boy. He is the reason Miyamura first ends up at the Hori house, and he takes to him right away, calling him his big brother. Sota spends a lot of time at home with his sister, and his easy affection helps pull Miyamura into the family's daily routine.
Kyosuke Hori is Kyoko and Sota's father. He has a playful sense of humour that his family tends to find more annoying than funny, and he is a heavy smoker. His scenes bring family comedy into the series, especially when he has to get used to the quiet boy who has become a regular visitor in his house.
Yuriko Hori is Kyoko's mother. She sat on the student council when she was in high school, and she has a sharp tongue that she mostly turns on her husband. Her daughter clearly shares some of her directness. Her scenes take place mostly at home, where she keeps an eye on Kyoko, Sota and the new visitor in the family's life.
Makio Tanihara goes to a different high school. He knew Miyamura in middle school, where he was one of the students who bullied him, and he crosses paths with him again during the series. He is anxious and prone to overthinking, often imagining far more than is really happening. Their shared past gives his scenes an awkward, more serious tone than most of the show.
