Character Personality: Explaining Itsuki Koizumi in a single word is a rather difficult task. It isn't because he's a difficult person himself, actually. You see, it's true that there are words that can describe him, and Kyon would very much describe him as "annoying", but they really aren't enough. Yes, annoying can apply. Itsuki talks way too much, opting to take the long route instead of the short-cut. He likes to ramble on, and on, and on, and on, and generally about some topic you wouldn't assume a teenager would care much about. He tries to be a philosopher -- he'll rant about some theories about how the world came to exist, question things in a roundabout way, and in general talk your ear off with confusing chatter. When something happens, he's eager to offer up his own explanation, and he even once said some pretty heavy stuff about Mikuru. He followed it up with what is practically his catchphrase: "Just kidding."

Not to mention, he is Haruhi's Yes Man. She says "Jump!" and he asks "How high, Miss Suzumiya?" This is because his job is keeping the world stable, as much as he can, and pleasing Haruhi generally keeps those damnable Closed Space from forming. There's a reason to it, sure, but considering Haruhi's... behavior, it's still not the best attribute to have. For example, he shrugs off Haruhi's constant abuse of Mikuru, saying that even though he feels bad, it keeps Haruhi happy. He encourages her ideas, even if they're not quite so great, and calls her charming -- even loveable. He is, in fact, very smart. He knows a lot about topics you wouldn't assume a teenager has any interest in, generally philosophy, but he can keep up with Nagato at times, too.

Yeah, "annoying" works pretty well.

But again, it's not enough. Perhaps you would be inclined to select "polite" as a one-word-descriptor. Again, not incorrect! Itsuki talks in Keigo, for example. Japanese, being -- y'know -- a language and all, is complex. There are different kinds of speeches in it, dialects, too. Keigo is incredibly polite, and Itsuki constantly speaks in it. He's incredibly polite, but, well, polite is polite. He doesn't really have that sort-of warmness about him that would make that politeness special; Itsuki's a good kid, for the most part (really!) and he says his 'please's and 'thank you's like a good kid. But, well, this leads us to our third word.

Plastic. Itsuki's smile is often described as plastic, and as a matter of fact, that can blatantly be seen in the movie adaption of The Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya. The Alternate Koizumi is still very much a smiler, very much a polite guy-- but it's worth noting that his smiles are never quite so... phony. He tends to have more of a smirk going on, as opposed to a fake but friendly grin. This is due to the fact that Itsuki, in his own words, wears a mask. Itsuki is supposed to act as Haruhi expects a mysterious transfer student to. He's polite, quiet, constantly smiling, but he never quite opens up. He's not an anomaly, he's just... well, he's got a role to play, essentially. This is perhaps his greatest fault; he is very attractive and welcoming, but it isn't really himself. He believes his true character is much more unpleasant. There is a joke here, though, he later tells Kyon that he would betray the Organization for the SOS Brigade.

That's because Itsuki is also reliable. True, he wears a mask, but you can trust him to handle things... in his own way. Haruhi relies on him, twice, to set up co-ed visits for the Brigade, with the second trip being a sort of play he puts on. He orchestrates a murder mystery as entertainment, which is to say, Haruhi trusted him to come up with an interesting murder mystery. Immediately following the conclusion of the game, Haruhi insists he plan another one. He agonized over every detail, to the point that Kyon said he could have just given everyone a script, and it worked out. The guy is pretty loyal, even if he can be a right pain. He even vehemently defends Haruhi when Kyon calls her a trouble maker -- when she really, truly is. He would know that better than anyone, as an Esper. That doesn't stop him from insisting Haruhi isn't a problem, and that she's doing much, much better than she had been, and it was all thanks to Kyon!

Yeah, his job forces him to essentially shove Kyon and Haruhi together as much as he can, as his job is, basically, saving the world. Itsuki might as well be a magical girl, all he needs is a transformation sequence. (Shamisen is already a talking cat, after all. Or, well, was a talking cat.) Since Kyon stabilizes Haruhi, keeping her from creating Closed Space, it's in the world's best interest that Haruhi and Kyon stay together. Or so he says.

Regardless of how annoying he can be -- he's a chatterbox, he's prone to teasing, getting really, unnecessarily close, allowing Haruhi to (usually) do as she pleases, making ridiculous hand movements, -- he's the Vice Commander of the SOS Brigade. You wouldn't guess it, but he's incredibly dedicated to the Brigade. They're his friends. He explicitly says as much in The Disassociation of Haruhi Suzumiya. He does admit he's not convinced of Mikuru Asahina's future self, though, but to be completely fair, even Kyon (Head Priest of the Church of Asahina) admits Future-Mikuru Asahina is.... dodgy at best.

Itsuki Koizumi is the Mysterious Transfer Student-- obeying Haruhi by daylight, fighting blue giants by moonlight.

Conditional: Personality development in previous game: n/a
Character Plans: Itsuki generally has the Organization backing him up on everything he does, and the general consensus in fandom is that he lives alone, in an apartment provided by the Organization. I guess the long and short of it is, I'd like to place him somewhere where he legitimately has to fend for himself, as nothing here in SP would be provided by the Organization. He's a terribly bright person, and while he is reliable, a lot of it is because he has the Organization backing him, again. Taking him out of the element and having him be on his own, I think, would be very interesting. He's from time not too far or removed from our own, so I think he'd fare a little better than some, but there's also his 'part-time job' to be considered. I'd rather think it'd be interesting to have him in an enviroment with Haruhi where his job is, first and foremost, being an actual friend to her. He does moonlight as an Esper, and I think removing that part of his life would be interesting. In general, I'd just like to see how he fares in a place that is both the same and yet radically different from where he's from.
