Itsuki Koizumi is arguably the most esoteric and mysterious of the SOS Brigade members, with Yuki Nagato being his principle competitor in those two areas. However, from a fan's perspective, there's far more novel focus on Nagato than there is on Koizumi, hence making him a bit more of a blank slate to me than Nagato is.
In some ways, I believe that Koizumi is meant to be the cheerful optimistic foil to Kyon's often exasperated pessimism and snark. Also, I typically view Koizumi as the "coolest" of the canon male cast, and hence I tend to like him a fair bit. That being said, he does strike me as the SOS Brigade member that's the most submissive towards Haruhi.

Well, there really isn't much to say about Koizumi. He plays the role of mysterious transfer student and seems to be having fun with it.
As for liking or disliking him... I'm following Kyon on this one, I don't really care enough about him to try and think or learn anymore than what's given. Oh, and here is by far his best shot IHMO. Spoiler:

It is exactly because he is the mysterious transfer student we have much to say about him. I mean, he is obviously lieing half of the time. Episode00 show us he (aparently) can't act, however, Lone Island II show us the oposite, as neither Kyon nor Haruhi could tell it was I a play. Even in the novels (where Kyons reasons to discover the whole thing are better explained) they only slip from Itsuki was long before the 'death', so, his acting during the play were perfect.
I agree with Triple when he says he is the most mysterious member of the brigade. Oh, yeah, this shot is hilarious. =P PP: And fabulous animated gift too |

People don't need to talk about it to you notice, you know?
Not saying his definitevelly 100% gay. However, he has some suspect gestures. Like when he land after the fight with the Shinjin and trows his hair (this gesture can be seen every new episode in the ending, btw). Also, the way he speaks. I've never seen the anime Eva, but is possible both sounds in a similar way. |

Also, there's no actual evidence that Koizumi is gay. He could just be acting. He's a very good actor, after all. Spoiler for Evidence that Koizumi is not gay, Novels 2 and 4:

Koizumi has always struck me as the SOS Brigade member most afraid of Haruhi ever losing - like he has an uniquely strong emotional investment in her winning. Every time Kyon thinks twice about helping Haruhi in her latest game (be it baseball or Sagittarius III, or anything else), it's ultimately Koizumi who talks him into giving it his all in order for Haruhi to win. Personally, I think that Koizumi exaggerates the impact that Haruhi losing would have. I don't think that Haruhi losing one game would cause the universe to come crashing down; I think it would cause a couple closed spaces to open up, maybe, but that's about it. In a way, I sometimes think that Koizumi is holding Haruhi's emotional maturing back by refusing to ever let her lose. Quote:
My own pet theory remains that Koizumi is straight... but due to his strong link with Haruhi, he feels the same attraction for Kyon that Haruhi feels.

I like you theory, Sute. However, there is ome few instances on Sighs when Itsuki was not pleasde by Haruhi.
For his gayness. As Triple said, is more the way he acts to Kyon. There is some points that prooves he, at last, like womans (this don't mean he can't be bi, though). Hoever, there is some points where he really seens to be a treacted to Kyon? Spoiler for Novel5 and 9:
However I agree with Triple pet theory. It fit very well and make these two exemple understandable. Spoiler for novel 9 exemple:

It's cool that you like my Itsuki "Straight-But-Gar-For-Kyon" theory.

Why Itsuki's good acting didn't show up in Ep. 00: He didn't want Haruhi to know about it. If Haruhi knew that he was a good actor and combined that with the right evidence at some point in the future, she may come to suspect him of genuinely being more than he appears.
Spoiler for Novel 5 Evidence:
Novel 9 Evidence: ... Okay, that looks pretty strong. The theory that Koizumi is picking up on Haruhi's feelings for Kyon: Isn't this a pretty popular theory? I thought it had been around for a good long while. |

I suppose that's possible, but he never struck me as that brilliant. While I respect your viewpoint, I still think that the straight-but-gay-for-Kyon theory is more plausible than that. Quote:
However, I didn't know that it was popular. I've only seen it brought up once (by somebody other than myself) since I've been posting here heavily back, around, two months ago.

That's either extreme paranoia on Itsuki's part, or meticulously planning out everything he does in a very L and Light Yagami way. Also, where is this idea that Koizumi is a great actor coming from in the first place? What evidence is there for that? It strikes me as pure speculation. Quote:
This idea that Koizumi is constantly putting on this great flamboyant act for Kyon and Haruhi, but then is so incredibly careful that when he actually acts in a movie he goes out of his way to deliberately degrade his acting ability just to put off possible suspicion... man, I'm not buying that at all. That's insane levels of facade-casting. It really is right up there with Light Yagami.
