The named characters of [[CUTE×GUY]], listed by order of their debut within the story.
== Takaoka Sumi, aka "Tadano Jun" ==
[[File:
The [[Mad Scientist|Mad Scientist's]] [[Generic Cuteness|Generically Cute]] [[Mad Scientist's Beautiful Daughter|Daughter]].
{{examples|Tropes exhibited by this character include:}}
* [[Freudian Slip]]: She called Kyouko-sensei "Kyon"-ko in the first chapter, which means "big breasts".
* [[Gender Bender]]: An uncommon female-to-male example of this trope, Sumi's condition is the result of her [[Mad Scientist]] father tricking her into taking an experimental [[Applied Phlebotinum|"growth hormone"]] by convincing her that it would turn her into the sort of [[Tall, Dark and Bishoujo|mature]], [[Buxom Is Better|sexy]] woman that her crush was rumored to like. Instead, it turned her into a [[Tall, Dark and Handsome|mature]], [[Chick Magnet|sexy]] [[Bishonen]].
** [[First Law of Gender Bending]]: [[Inverted]]. Although her transformations are no more ([[Status Quo Is God|or less]]) permanent than they were from the start, Sumi spends comparatively little time as her female self. In actuality, "Jun" has more of an influence on the plot than "Sumi", who only seems to appear long enough to remind us that, yes, our [[The Protagonist|protagonist]] is, in fact, a girl who ''turns into'' a guy and not the real deal.
Line 16 ⟶ 17:
== Sudou Mitsuru ==
[[File:
The [[Love Interest]].
{{examples|Tropes exhibited by this character include:}}
* [[Attractive Bent Gender]]: Mitsuru makes a ''very'' cute girl, but unlike every other character who qualifies for this trope, he is only [[Crossdresser|crossdressing]] as the opposite sex. {{spoiler|At least until the [[Ass Pull|finale]], when he takes the [[Gender Bender]] [[Applied Phlebotinum|drug]] to escape and transforms into an even more [[Moe]]-looking girl than he was in drag.}}
* {{spoiler|[[First Girl Wins|First Guy Wins]] --> [[Understanding Boyfriend]]:}} {{spoiler|Mitsuru takes [[The Reveal]] that his close friend Jun, who he has admired since their first meeting, is actually the [[Gender Bender|gender bent]] version of his female classmate Takaoka Sumi, who he is also friends with and has a crush on, ''very well''. Implausibly so. Especially considering all the [[Blatant Lies]] that she's been feeding him, and not to mention the fact that he discovered the truth ''entirely by accident'' when their [[Zany Scheme|elaborate plot]] to convince him "Jun" worked at a host club was interrupted. Anyone in their right mind would be completely justified in feeling at least a little bit confused, if not outright betrayed. Instead, [[The Reveal Prompts Romance]].}}
* [[Hidden Depths]]: Mitsuru is revealed to have an unexpected affection for [[Turtle Power|turtles]]. {{spoiler|In fact, when asked what he wanted most, he even knew enough about them to request a specific breed: the South American snake-necked turtle. Sumi was just fortunate that Dr. Nishizawa had one laying around for Shizuka to give her.}}
* [[I Didn't Mean to Turn You On]]: Mitsuru can't seem to say two words to [[Smitten Teenage Girl|Sumi]] without sending her running for the hills. [[Hilarity Ensues|And then Jun turns up.]] The fact that he hasn't noticed the pattern definitely speaks to his [[Genre Blindness|gullability]].

Line 35 ⟶ 36:
** [[First Law of Gender Bending]]: [[Averted]]. Like everyone else who took the drug, Shizuka only [[Gender Bender|transforms]] when he is exposed to his particular trigger, and he inevitably returns to his male form once the effect wears off. However, [[Fridge Brilliance|possibly because his transformation is difficult to trigger by accident]], Shizuka spends the least amount of time transformed.
** [[Second Law of Gender Bending]]: [[Averted]]. Shizuka starts out angry at his father for inflicting [[Gender Bender|this]] on him, and although he does not explicitly ''hate'' turning into a woman, {{spoiler|getting harassed by the girls at school for being 'perverted' after spilling the contents of his bag, which included a lacy bra, cannot have endeared it to him.}} However, he doesn't seem to mind using his female alter ego to help out [[Love Interest|Sumi]].
** [[Third Law of Gender Bending]]: [[Subverted]]. Even as a woman, Shizuka never wears a skirt or changes anything about his assertive personality simply to
* [[Hilariously Abusive Childhood|Hilariously]] [[Abusive Parents]]: Shizuka's [[Backstory]] is virtually identical to Sumi's, complete with the [[Mad Scientist]] father and a mother who couldn't care less, but is less involved with the events of the story. His mother only receives a mention, though his father has a larger role as [[The Rival]] to Sumi's father, Dr. Takaoka.
* [[New Transfer Student]]: There is absolutely no explanation given as to how or why he transferred to their school, but he did.

== Kyouko-sensei ==

A description of the character goes here.
{{examples|Tropes exhibited by this character include:}}
* [[Abhorrent Admirer]]: To "Jun", who is actually 100% heterosexual schoolgirl Takaoka Sumi.
* [[Hospital Hottie]]: Kyouko-sensei. Blonde, buxom, sultry and an (in this case, school) nurse.
* [[Hot for Student]]: She comes on very heavily to Jun, even though she initially believes he is an ([[Younger Than They Look|older looking]]) student. {{spoiler|Soon notices he isn't on the school register though.}}
* [[Spell My Name with an "S"]]: Kyoko or Kyouko? (According to the romaji for "'''<big>京子</big>'''", Kyouko is correct.)
* [[The Vamp]]: Not only is she beloved by the school's male population (most of them anyway) but very nearly [[Double Standard Rape (Female on Male)|forces]] [[Double Standard Rape (Female on Female)|herself]] on Jun/male Sumi before she is wooed into submission by 'his' [[The Charmer|smooth-talking]].

== Maki Hanako ==

{{examples|Tropes exhibited by this character include:}}
* [[Going for the Big Scoop]]: This is ([[Stalker with a Crush|ostensibly]]) the reason for her harassment of Jun.
* [[Last-Name Basis]]: As per Japanese custom, Sumi calls her "Maki" instead of using her given name "Hanako".
* [[School Newspaper Newshound]]
** [[Intrepid Reporter]]: What Maki seems to think she is.
** [[Paparazzi]]: What she actually comes across as.

== Misaki Seiji ==
[[File:Misaki-Seiji 021.png|200px|thumb]]
A description of the character goes here.
{{examples|Tropes exhibited by this character include:}}
* [[Gender Bender]]: Another uncommon female-to-male example of this trope, if she has an involuntary trigger, it isn't revealed to the audience. Misaki took the [[Applied Phlebotinum|drug]] to transform her [[Cute Clumsy Girl|cute]], [[Informed Flaw|clumsy]] [[Meganekko]] self into the [[Bishonen|cool]], [[Stoic Spectacles|collected]] [[Megane|Seiji]].
** [[First Law of Gender Bending]]: [[Averted]]. Of course, the transformations themselves are inherently temporary, but even with that in mind, she spends about an equal amount of time as [[Meganekko|"Misaki"]] as she does [[Megane|"Seiji"]].
** [[Second Law of Gender Bending]]: [[Zig Zagged]]. Unlike absolutely ''everyone else'', Misaki took the [[Gender Bender]] [[Applied Phlebotinum|drug]] with a complete understanding of the effect it would have, and she milked her other self for all "he" was worth. Misaki enjoyed the escapism of being someone as cool as Seiji, but she was not so attached to the idea of being a guy. She loved her life as a [[Gender Bender]], but she possibly wouldn't if she were actually trapped as a man.
** [[Third Law of Gender Bending]]: [[Subverted]]. Any and all personality changes are deliberate escapism on her part, which was her primary motivation for taking the [[Applied Phlebotinum|drug]] to begin with (as well as seducing Mitsuru), but whereas [[Clueless Chick Magnet|Sumi's]] [[The Charmer|behavior]] is a [[Running Gag]], Seiji's was intentional.
* [[Only One Name]]: It is unclear if "Misaki" is her given name or her surname, but "Seiji" is a masculine name, so it's unlikely that it's her actual name. [[Tomboyish Name|But you never know.]] One should bear in mind though, that she only introduced herself as Seiji to Mitsuru, while she was in her male form, and he's the only character to actually call her that.
