Student Cultural Society

The Cultural Research Club (文化研究部), aka Student Cultural Society, is a club at Yamaboshi High that diligently studies and reports on the cultures of countries around the world, though Taichi implies they rarely ever do any work, instead choosing to goof around most of the time. This is largely attributed to their advisor, Gotou, never checking up on them. The StuCS's current President is Iori and its Vice President is Inaba.

Members
The Cultural club's members are as vastly different from each other as the cultures they research. This is due in part to Yamaboshi High's standard that all students must participate in a club. Apparently, none of the members originally wanted to be a member of the Cultural club, but were placed in it due to various reasons.

Yaegashi Taichi
Taichi originally wanted to join a "Professional Wrestling Study club", however the club did not exist. As a result, the school placed him in the Student Cultural Society Club.

Nagase Iori (President)
Iori could not decide which club she wanted, liking all of them equally. In the end, she decided to make her homeroom teacher, Gotou, randomly choose for her. As a result, Iori was placed in the Student Cultural Society by mere chance. Due to her bold personality, she was chosen as the club's President, though she never acts like one.

Inaba Himeko (VP)
Inaba originally joined the Computer Club, however, she left due to an argument with the club's president. As a result, Inaba wound up establishing her own club, which grew into the Student Cultural Society Club, becoming its Vice President.

Aoki Yoshifumi
Aoki wanted to join a supposed "Players' Club"; however, to his disappointment, Yamaboshi High did have such a thing. Ultimately, he was forced into the Student Cultural Society Club by default.

Kiriyama Yui
Yui wanted to join a "Fancy Club" due to her fascination with cute things; however it did not have enough interested members. As a result, the school placed her in the Student Cultural Society Club.

Trivia

 * The clubroom's door sign is simply the club's name messily scribbled on a piece of printer paper and taped to the front door.
 * The club publishes a monthly article called Cultural Research News, which Yui admits is just random news and gossip that the members find interesting and not necessarily about culture at all.
 * The original, Japanese shortening of the club name, Bunka kenkyū-bu (文化研究部) is Bun-Ken (文研). It is a pun on the word Bunken (文献), which means "Literature." The StuCS write about culture.
