Cutie Honey: The Live (キューティーハニー THE LIVE Kyūtī Hanī Za Raibu?) is a Japanese tokusatsu production of the popular Cutie Honey manga and anime series, chiefly directed by Makoto Yokoyama and written primarily by Toshiki Inoue. It began airing on TV Tokyo on October 2, 2007. Gravure idol Mikie Hara portrays Honey Kisaragi, the title character.
Honey Kisaragi (如月 ハニー Kisaragi Hanī) is an android girl who can transform into the titular Cutie Honey (キューティーハニー Kyūtī Hanī) by tapping on her heart necklace and saying the words "Honey Flash!" (ハニーフラッシュ! Hanī Furasshu!). Her powers come from the Airborne Element Fixing Device (空中元素固定装置 Kūchū Genso Kotei Sōchi) installed in her body, also known as the "Honey System" (ハニーシステム Hanī Shisutemu). The Honey System allows the creation of objects out of thin air, allowing Honey to transform her outfit into practically any disguise. The Honey System can also reduce objects to thin air just as easily, which Honey uses as a finishing move to destroy anything she is in contact with. She possesses super-intelligence and strength, and a healing factor. Her personal emblem is a Red heart and in battle she can summon a rapier called the "Silver Fleuret" (シルバーフルーレ Shirubā Furūre). She seems to have a crush on Yuji's third personality, Giza. However, her strong crush also inadvertently gave him a fourth personality named Hikaru.
