In the anime he's always "Kyon" or "Kyon-kun".
But do anybody knows what is his full name?

Kyon is a nickname, so we don't even know his first name!

It's Tanigawa's decision to never have his actual name mentioned. I have a feeling it'll be a major plot device if he actually does unveil it.

Kyon's real name is never mentioned in the anime, so we may not ever know.

alphabetically, tho, we kno that his surname comes after "sa" (since he comes after Sakanaka) and before "su" (as he comes before Suzumiya)...maybe it's Suzuki, or something normal and plain?

Mmhmm~ I think he was planning to release Kyon's name in the 10th light novel, which is on an indefinite hiatus, as far as I know? >.<

Since his sister called him Kyon, maybe his name is something like Kyo, or a variation of the sort.

Or maybe his real name is John Smith! :O

Thanks to Shiro-chan for scripting! ♥

In the novels it says that his first name is Kyo (Kyo -> Kyon), but not his family name...

On lightnovel version it was not shown who comes before his name mentioned..

And in anime version, ep 00's (mikuru asahina no boken) ending song credit, there was a text that shows name 'Kengo Shigemura (Kyon)' (I think his surname was shigemura, sa-shi-su)

Then, I've done some research @ google about name 'Shigemura Kengo', but someone said that he was actual person who maintain editing on this anime. Even on Clannad he was done the same work, he's doing editing there!

So, I think that kengo shigemura was just a editor's prank..
Fine kyoani editor chief! you've got me punk'd!

Maybe for anime version everyone at kyoto animation make it comes to this idea --a

Problem with "smith"...the "mi" in "sumisu" comes after the "zu" in "suzumiya" (letter order is prioritized before accents on the letters in Japanese alphabetical order...just like almost any other language, especially European.)

hmm...maybe he's the son of bourgeois family? after all, he seems to be able to pay for Haruhi's expenses, considering that Kyon is probably spending 2000~3000yen every time they visit the coffee/tea shop...and more with the different projects...

I think there was a later reference specifying that Kyon's "shusseki bango", a.k.a. roll-call number (yes, all students receive numbers based on alphabetical order...usually used to pick school chores/duties.) was after Sakanaka's, along with the cat arc thing...was it that Sakanaka sat in front of Kyon? (even if the previous comment were true, if it was after the seat-changing, then this doesn't matter...lolz) I forgot, srry... Still, Shigemura sounds pretty plausible...good research!

Its my main conspiracy theory and combined with the other Light Novels, you kind of wonder just how much of a master manipulator Mikuru ends up becoming. I mean, she even manipulates her younger self.

I will move aside discussion about conspiracy theory including Mikuru and Kyon's sister and give you one fact from the Light Novel :

Spoiler contains a name of new character, dont be angry.
So, as far as we know about Kyon's surname is:
- it begins with s (according to anime)
- it sound royal .
so, we will see in which way it will go in 10th novel :)

In the movie, Kyon looked at the class roster to try and find Haruhi's name. I can't read Japanese, but shouldn't Kyon's name be on there? Like the name above the name that would come right after Suzumiya alphabetically?

Probably NEVER will...

some things just stay a mystery because they were made to stay a mystery,
and that keeps our suspense of wondering what it is for internity!

Even though the author could just randomly create his name right about now, and then say it when he never really intended to have a name for Kyon.
That'd be pretty interesting and funny in a way?

Well I think I found something that could explain why the writer chose 'Kyon' for his nickname:

syll. kyon, ky-on ] The baby boy name Kyon is pronounced KYahN †. Kyon's language of origin is English and Old Greek. Old Greek origin: Derived literally from the word kyon with the meaning 'dog'. In Greek mythology, Kyon Kryseos was the 'golden dog' who protected the infant Zeus.

Kyon= Golden Dog: Kyon is the laborer and protector of Haruhi and friends.
Haruhi= Infant Zeus: Since Haruhi is seen as a god to some in the story.

While I was conducting research for names for my fan-fiction I decided to tackle the meaning behind Kyon's name again. This is what I found:

1) KUON KHRYSEOS was a golden dog set by Rhea to guard the infant god Zeus and his nurse the she-goat Amaltheia. Some say he was the same as Lailaps, the hound which Zeus first presented to Europa on Krete, and from her was passed on to King Minos, Prokris, Kephalos and Pandareos, before being placed amongst the stars as the Constellation Canis Major.

2) Khrysos is a Greek boy name. The meaning of the name is `Gold`

3) Within the definition of gold we can find: "Figuratively, something precious or pure" or "Something regarded as having great value or goodness: a heart of gold."

4) Through logic and the awareness that Kyon's surname starts with "S" and is between Sa and Su I came across this surname: Shimizu. Shimizu means, (清水, "pure water"). Whats even more interesting is that the characters can also read as Kiyomizu.

5) The origin of the surname: It is found throughout Japan, especially in the east. One family bearing this name is descended from Tokugawa Shigeyoshi (1745–1795), a son of the 9th Tokugawa Shogun, Ieshige.

6) Kyosuke, as far as first names go, seems to be the logical name that Kyon could have.

With this information I can conclude that 清水 is his surname and his sister gave him the nickname "Kyon" based on Kiyomizu. With the author's parallels to Greek mythology (however light it may be) also supports 清水 as his surname . [ Kyon Kiyomizu/Kyôn Khryseos ] In addition we can guess that his first name could be Kyosuke (which means: Respectful, or the reverent helper). The definition of the name fits with his role in the story and also fits nicely in the origination of his nickname. Kyosuke could be easily changed into "Kyon" by dropping '-suke'. With this, Kyon's full name could possibly be Kiyomizu Kyosuke (清水 京介). Having said that, his first name could be anything under the sun. What is important is that there is enough evidence to support the possibility of 'Kiyomizu' as his last name.
But hey, I could be wrong! xD
