Oreki, Houtarou

折木奉太郎

Personality: Quiet, laid-back, lazy
Motto: "If I don't have to do it, I won't. If I have to do it, I'll make it quick."
Oreki is a high school student with messy brown hair and green eyes. Because of his extremely lazy lifestyle, he almost always has a tired or bored expression on his face. His hair is particularly messy when he wakes up.
He is portrayed as a quiet student who is never concerned about things happening around him. Although he appears to be an average high schooler, he is quite intelligent and perceptive. The reason for his usual laziness is that he wishes to "save energy." Even though he is shown to be quite lazy, he never leaves his homework undone, as pointed out by Satoshi. He is considered lazy and apathetic, always living on the "gray" side, and is not interested in any activities that might waste his time and energy. He actually never intended to join any club, but his sister ordered him to join the Classics Club to save it from being disbanded. Even though he might not seem it, he is unbelievably good at solving mysteries and seems to be able to always find a solution if he gives it a thought. He has a habit of holding his bangs whenever he is thinking about a mystery.
