As children, Hikaru and Kaoru are inseparable and dislike everyone with the exception of their personal maid, who they adore. The cunning woman promises to play the "Which One is Hikaru? Game" with them until she gets it right because the twin toddlers say they'll give it to her when she wins. During the night, the alarm sounds and the twins discover their playmate heading down a ladder with the family's riches. She's broken open their piggy bank to access the slip on which the combination is written and broken her promise to them, as well.
Disappointed, they ask why and she replies that she simply can't tell them apart and perhaps no one ever will, implying that unless people can identify them as unique individuals, they're untrustworthy. This comment becomes a self-fulfilling mantra for them, keeping them isolated and stunted in social skills. Kaoru Hitachiin is the younger of the Hitachiin identical twins. Being in the same class as Haruhi, they serve as major rivals against Tamaki for Haruhi's romantic attention.
Kaoru is just as playful as his elder brother, but is also a more insightful and easy-going person. He is also the first of the two to understand that their co-dependence must end, if they are to develop into separate and whole individuals. Kaoru and Hikaru are both wealthy and playful; however, Kaoru is the calmer and more mature of the two. When apart from his elder brother, Kaoru becomes a pleasant person, acting in a selfless and serious manner; but when he is with his elder twin, he reverts to being a scamp-like individual.
Although the twins have spent the majority of their lives interacting only with one another, Kaoru demonstrates an understanding about social interactions and innate self-control. She is noted to travel frequently and rides a motorcycle. The little-seen younger sister of Hikaru, Ageha is a manga-only character. Although the twins dote on her and give her dresses and toys, she is unimpressed by them and frankly rejects their presents to their faces.
Tamaki is one of the first people to actively seek to break through the isolation that he sees in the twins by inviting them to join his newly formed Host Club while the twins are still in middle school, using intution to guess their correct identities and foiling the twins' plans to reject his offer.
Though both Hitachiins find him initially annoying and troublesome, they grow to admire Tamaki because of his ability to see them both as unique individuals and an inseparable unit, simultaneously, which he views as a positive. In fact, it is Tamaki who suggests that they use their identical looks to develop the "Forbidden Brotherly Love" package.
Knowing that Tamaki loves Haruhi, even if he is unaware of it, both twins flirt with her endlessly to prod him into reality or just to get him fired up for their amusement. Despite being frequently exasperated by them and calling them "shady twins," he genuinely seeks their welfare.
Despite Hikaru and Kaoru's efforts to remain a single entity, it is Haruhi who manages to decipher which twin is which without resorting to guesses, as she sees them as two different individuals.
Because of her entrance into their closed-in world, and her acceptance of the two as both similar yet different, Hikaru eventually falls in love with her and becomes highly possessive of her in the process. Although Kyoya often observes the twins' activities, he does not particularly like to interfere with them. He has also been shown to like their "Forbidden Brotherly Love" act, as it generates revenue for the club's treasury. However, as Hikaru is more emotional and less rational than his brother, Kaoru, the Vice-President does not become particularly close to the elder Hitachiin twin; instead, he prefers the younger Hitachiin twin's more sensible nature.
He is the only other megane character in Ouran, though very different from Kyoya. They band with him and Haruhi as Team B, pranking him relentlessly until they see what they think is the Clocktower Witch.
In Volume 13 of the manga, Kazukiyo and Kaoru share a room together during the class ski trip, and Hikaru ends up joining them on the second night when rooming with Haruhi becomes too awkward. The following day Hikaru forces Kazukiyo to ski down an expert slope and Kazukiyo twists his ankle, forcing Hikaru to piggyback him to safety. He is later seen at the Hitachiins' New Year's Eve party, assuring a group of girls that his leg is healing fine.
When Haruhi announces in Chapter 83 of the manga that she's leaving to study abroad for a year, Kazukiyo panics that the twins' pranks on him will increase without her mitigating influence. When Kazukiyo admits his feelings to Momoka in college, Haruhi and the twins are shown in the background cheering him on. Mei is an aspiring designer and a huge fan of the twins' fashion designer mother, Yuzuha. After accompanying Haruhi to the Hitachiin mansion and meeting Yuzuha, Mei gushes that she is the "perfect" woman.
Not yet used to their personalities, she falls for several of Yuzuha's and the twins' pranks. Being the first person to realize Haruhi's feelings for Tamaki, she is also the one to bring it to Hikaru's attention, causing him to become intensely jealous of Tamaki, even though Hikaru is still oblivious to his own romantic feelings for Haruhi. Before she can help Haruhi understand her confusing feelings for Tamaki, Kaoru calls Mei's cell and urges her to stop so as not to give Tamaki an advantage over Hikaru.
The twins get along well with her. They also invite her to the New Year's party at their mansion, where Kaoru expresses his concerns to her about Hikaru's confession to Haruhi. Mei also tells Haruhi that while it was rude of her to not notice Hikaru's feelings, it would be even worse to date him out of pity.
When Mei is studying fashion in college, the twins agree to be models for her fashion show, but send Kasanoda in their place in a scheme to set the two up on a date. Explore Wikis Community Central.

Ep 03 - Beware the Physical Exam! Ep 04 - Attack of the Lady Manager! Ep 05 - The Twins Fight! In the manga, aside from learning just how much the twins have grown to depend on each other due to their family life, we also get another glimpse into their family.
We learn that Hikaru's mother is a fashion designer, and is also where the elder twin picked up the rather flashy-yet-cool sense of style he has a habit of portraying whenever not forced to wear his academy uniform or something that Tamaki had put together.
Most characters aren't just given their names without any sort of meaning, which certainly holds true when it comes to the members of the Host Club, though some connections might not be as obvious at first glance. Hikaru's name means 'light', and though at first it can seem to not have any connection, it could very well represent his growth throughout the series into a person that's willing to see the lighter side of things as well as see the light in others, instead of simply thinking that he only has himself and his twin to rely on.
While he might act self-centered, and it's obvious that the more implicit aspects of their "Brotherly Love Package" are simply an act, Hikaru's deep-seeded caring nature isn't. Whenever Kaoru is injured during one of their acts, Hikaru is shown afterwards to still be incredibly worried about him, wanting to be at his side to make sure nothing was actually wrong.
It's also another great example of his loyalty shining through, as he never wants to be apart from the side of the person he cares about more than anything in the world.
