I'm certain his cheery demeanour is a facade, but I doubt his actions towards Kyon are the same. There are also numerous moments in the anime which show Itsuki clearly looking at Kyon in a fashion not befitting of a heterosexual male. Such as the scene on in Lone Island Syndrome where he is quietly staring at Kyon's neck with a rather complicated expression on his face. Plus, this series has many harem aspects, and it's my view that EVERY SOS member has, or will have a romantic interest in him. Including Slider-tan.

First, nothing in the anime counts as canon, whatsoever. Tanigawa had little to do with it except write the script for Someday in the Rain.

And, like I said, he does it simply to mess with Kyon because of how homophobic Kyon is. I sometimes do the same things to my friends, and I'm pretty straight.

For that matter... Disappearance Koizumi displays no homosexual behaviour whatsoever. He's completely devoted to Haruhi.

So Koizumi is either simply only gay for Kyon, or just messing with him, and I think the latter.

...Haruhi-chan was originally a gag 4koma written and drawn by an artist named Puyo. KyoAni added next to nothing into their adaptation of it.

You did know this, right?

Tanigawa had absolutely nothing to do with the Haruhi-chan manga other than writing his impressions in the back of the first bound volume.

There isn't some "secret council of those in the know" going on here, Haruhi-chan is simply an amusing web series based off of an amusing 4koma which was based off of two years of fan speculation and wild theories about an amusing and popular show.

You're taking Haruhi-chan WAY too seriously, man.
