A more probable candidate is: Spoiler for Slider?:
Ahem. Clannad jokes aside, I doubt Kyon's real name is a plot-device, rather something to keep the readers mystified.

And this is the "Spoilers and Speculation" thread. No need for spoiler tags, especially for seculation, which all of this is...

I'm certainly not in the Miyoko camp. A name isn't enough of an argument for me.
I'm not in kenny's camp either. You have a point kenny, but your theory assumes things that are not stated in the story. For example, for alt!Kyon's Sister and 'The Girl Who Magically Appeared' to be the same person would mean that alt!Kyon's Sister been born only a year later than this world's Kyon. Who am I to say that's not possible? But it's not stated in the story, thus not acceptable with my standards. Besides, correct me if I'm wrong, your only argument that seems to support your theory is that Kyon saying 'the voice sounds like my sister's'. The rest seems to be constructed and interpreted, albeit correctly, to fit your theory. Spoiler tags can't hurt, even in a thread like this.

Out of curiosity, does anybody have the original Japanese text for the:

Yes, I'm entertaining the possibility that someone (Asahina with Kyon?) took her back in time. It's possible that while none of the SOS Brigade members were really paying attention, she kinda snuck into the crowd of freshman. Though, seems far less likely than slider-tan. Although.... Miyoko Yoshimura instead? May work. There's no real proof that it was a slider-tan. We only believe she's (Mysterious Girl) is a slider because Haruhi's introduction was to meet aliens, time travlers, sliders, and espers. I offer evidence: A. Kyon says that she looks older than her age. Quote:

B. Quote:
Counterarguments (because we know it's important in all academic writing...): A. Mature-looking 10/11 year old, deal with it. Also, shape-shifting? Get real. B. Miyokichi may have seen the cake on the menu before and really wanted it. I still think (Mysterious Girl) is a slider and very possibly Miyoko, but we can't completely disregard all possibilities. But why Miyoko? Quote:
A random, completely unsupported hypothesis, Miyokichi's potential older sister. He did entertain the idea of siblings as some point. Lastly, regarding Kyon's name... Sakaki mentions that is "royal and imposing."

You mean the Miyoko Yoshimura who we don't even know really exists outside of Kyon's story? One theory: Imouto has a (perfectly ordinary) friend Kyon knows as "Miyokichi" (a nickname). Kyon needs a subject for his story, embellishes upon Miyokichi, and voila, we have Miyoko Yoshimura. Do we ever even hear the full name outside of the story in 8 or Kyon's conversation with Itsuki in 9?

Spoilers for Newtype are starting to come out now. There is a feature on the next volumes included. I apologize for the small size, but this is the biggest I've got:

I don't think Tanigawa would stretch it out that long. It's been four years since volume nine came out, and this isn't a fanbase that likes to be jerked around. Chances are, that's probably the reason for the simultaneous releases of books 10 and 11.

Agreed. That line specifically stated the kanji for "The end of the two stories" so it's not an if, it's just like that line said: how. Just only 16 days left!
