and must crossdress in order to attend. He already looks very androgynous, so the change thankfully is not obvious to the other members of the school. However, Mizuho is always nervous about being found out and constantly worries that it will happen. In spite of this, he was well received on his first day at school and has already become very popular among the students. At first he was shocked when he found out about the will, but with the help of his childhood friend and cousin Mariya Mikado, who also attends the school, he was able to resign himself to transferring to the school. Despite making the change, he still uses language which is usually only used by males in Japan such as , meaning "I". He is generally depicted in his school uniform wearing breast prostheses underneath. Throughout the anime, willing

is employed, as there are severally scenes where Mizuho shows cleavage (such as when he is trying on bikinis), despite the fact that he does not have breast implants. :When Mizuho was younger, he had very little self-confidence and in effect often would follow Mariya around, depending on her as his closest childhood friend. Additionally, his mother died from an unexplained illness when he was younger and one of her last requests to her husband, Mizuho's father, was to not force Mizuho to have his hair cut until after he had grown up. Mizuho explains this was so that he would be free to make his own choice of what hairstyle he wanted later on, and obviously he kept it, thinking it suited him best. :Mizuho's had to use the surname Miyanokouji, his mother's maiden name, in order to enter into the school; his actual surname is . The Kaburagi family's biggest rival is the Itsukushima family, both of which are very well-endowed in terms of money and power. Mizuho did not realize it at first, but Takako is a member of that Itsukushima family. Despite this, Mizuho doesn't see her as a rival and enjoys her company very much. In fact, they share world history class together and sit next to each other. They often talk to each other during class by either whispering or passing notes. :Chris Beveridge of Mania Entertainment has noted that Mizuho is "a bit too female in form and movement", wondering if the animators forgot that Mizuho "is really a guy". Erica Friedman of Yuricon regarded the presentation of Mizuho as being "a perfect (i.e., straight/normal) man *and* a perfect woman, at the same time", and noted that his false breasts were portrayed as being warm and realistic to the touch. :Mizuho's episodes such as October revolution at Seio Girls' Academy, Relay race in the sports meeting and so on are handed a story down from generation to generation. :Mizuho enters Shōyō University after his graduation. Mizuho, Shion and Takako often visit Seio Girls' Academy. ; : (video game), Miyu Matsuki (anime) :Shion is one of Mizuho's classmates who figures out that he is a boy after only their second meeting, but tells him that she will keep it a secret from anyone else. She tends to have a silent demeanor and voice which helps to give her an appealing appearance to the rest of the students. During the previous year she had to leave school for a while soon after she was elected as the Elder due to illness and had to spend time in the hospital. She has returned to school and is repeating the year she lost even though she still is not fully recovered, as she will pass out if she exerts herself too much. She becomes an adviser and a female role-model for Mizuho. :In Shion's path in the game she is engaged to Kazutaka Itsukushima, who is Takako's older brother. The Itsukushima family is upstart, and so Takako's father arranged the engagement to Shion in order to enhance his family's standing since the Jujo family was once an aristocratic ( Kōshaku (侯爵)) family. Takako asks Mizuho to rescue Shion from the Itsukushima family. :Shion enters Shōyō University or a college attached to Seio Girls' Academy after her graduation. ; : (video game), Masumi Asano (anime) :Mariya is Mizuho's cousin-german who grew up with him and therefore knows him very well. When it was decided that Mizuho would transfer to the all-girls school she also attends, she took it upon herself to transform him into a beautiful girl by the use of makeup, and she seemed to have a lot of fun dressing him up. :Mariya has a very spirited personality which often helps her to make sure Mizuho is acting

. This often includes using mild violence. She has difficulty in controlling her temper which sometimes causes her to do inadvisable things or carry grudges, such as her grudge against Takako, to an extreme. For most of the time that Mariya has known Mizuho, she has always been there as his support whenever he needed her, though later on in the series she finds that without her even realizing it, he has already managed to stand on his own in terms of self-confidence and maturity. Initially, she is very uneasy about this change and is unsure on how to act towards Mizuho after this revelation. She also realizes that she has developed feelings for Mizuho, something she had not consciously been unaware previously. Mariya is in the track and field club and she has been given the epithet '' Matsurika no Kimi''. :She goes abroad to study in United States after her graduation. ; : (video game),

(anime) :Yukari is one of the first-year students at the school who lives in the same dormitory building as Mizuho and Mariya, who also is her ''onee-sama''; it is a tradition for the underclassmen to serve their respective senpai in any way they can. Much like Kana and Mariya, she is a very energetic girl, although unlike them, she is deathly afraid of ghost stories and anything scary - a fact which Mariya has often used for her own amusement and which initially caused some trouble when Yukari met Ichiko. Yukari is on the track and field team along with Mariya, though her main reason for joining was due to her older sister-in-law who had urged her to come to this school and who was also in track and field. Yukari soon comes to discover that she really does like for track and field and continues to participate in club activities even when she loses her self-confidence in other matters. :Later she becomes the student council president and the captain of the track and field club, and her another name is '' Kohaku no Kimi'' at Seio Girls' Academy. Incidentally, in her path, she retires from the club just before Mizuho's graduation and she begins to study earnestly so that she will enter the same university as him. ; :''Voiced by:''

(video game), Akemi Kanda (anime) :Kana is another one of the girls who lives in the same dormitory building as Mizuho, who becomes her . Kana is more than happy to serve Mizuho in any way she can, since she admires him immensely. Kana, who like Yukari, is a first-year student, has been waiting for the chance to have an ''onee-sama'' as she has always been envious of Yukari having Mariya to fill that role. One of the defining features about her is that she often ends sentences with the phrase ''~na no desu yo'' (roughly, "it's the case that..."). :Kana wears a large pink ribbon in her hair which was given to her by the director of the orphanage she lived at for much of her life. Ultimately, the director, who loved Kana as a daughter, died right after giving her the ribbon and due to this, she almost never takes the ribbon off. Kana has never seen her mother's or father's faces. She comes to the school on an academic scholarship made possible by her own efforts because the ribbon gives her strength of mind. :Kana is in the drama club. Despite being very nervous on the stage, but she is selected for the leading role at the school festival by Kei, who is the director of the club. The play is favorably received. She subsequently plays many of the main roles in future productions and is called ''Shoragiku no Kimi'' at Seio Girls' Academy. Kana later becomes the director of the drama club and the seventy-fourth elder sister. She enters a university and joins a theatrical company after her graduation. ; : (video game), Chiaki Takahashi (anime) :Takako is the student council president of the all-girls school where the story takes place. She tends to have a serious personality which complements that of a student council president. As the president, she knows that she must be very decisive in her actions, since she knows the students would have trouble following her if she did not act so. In private, Takako herself has stated how she almost never has confidence in herself. :In contrast to her usual attitude, she has also shown a more gentle side to her character. Eventually, she begins to develop feelings and falls in love with Mizuho. As she is still under the belief that Mizuho is a girl, this confuses her. She also has a great fear of

s. She also hates frogs, the result of a childhood 'prank' pulled by Mariya in the anime version. :Takako was previously invited to join the track and field team during the same time that the elections for new student council members were being held. Although she was not opposed to the idea of joining the track and field team she ultimately declined their offer and was elected to the student council. Mariya, who was in the Track and Field Club at the time, thought that her response was unforgivable and has carried a grudge against Takako ever since. The truth of the matter was that Takako could not handle both the track and field and student council activities simultaneously, though Mariya could never accept this as the truth. :Takako goes to Shōyō University after her graduation. ; : (video game), Yuko Goto (anime) :Ichiko is, in fact, a ghost. Her story begins 22 years ago: a previous Elder (who later became Mizuho's mother) had a close relationship with an underclassmen who had a weak body. The underclassman was hospitalized but desperately wanted to see her Elder so she snuck out of the hospital, went to the Elder's room to wait for her. Unfortunately she died before she had the chance to talk with the Elder. That room has been deemed a "closed room" ever since, until Mizuho arrived and started living in it, in accordance with his grandfather's will. :She is very energetic and hyperactive, often talking very quickly. It took some time for her to understand that she is a ghost, and by that token, dead. She notes that Mizuho looks very much like her previous Elder love interest. Although she can touch people, she cannot pick up objects and she slips through walls. Incidentally, in the anime version, she is not able to make contact with everyone. Invisible barriers initially prevent her from leaving the dorm, but she is able to leave the building as long as she is touching Mizuho in anime version, and her movable range extends to the entire school grounds after a certain event in video game. :In the video game, she has a capacity for spirit possession and it helps Mizuho's critical phase.
