Kyon is your typical high school student with a cynical view of the world and has long since then given up on all ideas supernatural till the day he met Haruhi. Despite being intelligent and perceptive, Kyon is ironically failing in class, at least in part due to his rather unwillingness to study. He is the only member in the S.O.S Brigade without any form of special abilities although he has this unnerving sense of adaptability to any situation he is dragged into.
