The protagonist of the series. A reckless 10-year-old kid who lives his everyday as a stuntman.

• Acrofatic: He's definitely not as huge as his friend Gunther, but he is visibly pudgy. Yet, he does manage some amazing stunts and maneuvers.
• Betty and Veronica: The Archie to Jackie's Betty and Kendall's Veronica, as well as the Betty to Kendall's Archie and Ronaldo's Veronica.
• Brilliant, but Lazy: There a few episodes that show that Kick is actually smart. In "Morning Rush", he did a months worth of homework in one night. He also has an innate grasp of the angles and forces involved in all of his stunts, even if he may not fully realize that those are actually math.
• Butt-Monkey: Becomes a regular gag in Season 2.
• Catchphrase:
  • "Biscuits", when things look ominous or after a mishap.
  • One point, he says "biscuits with gravy" after the last part of chain of negative revelations.
• Chick Magnet: Despite being 10 years old, he has four girls interested in him, which are Kendall, Jackie, Scarlet, and April (the latter two being five and six years older than him, respectively).
• Cool Helmet: Never seen without it.
• Deadpan Snarker: He often throws snide remarks with a voice much fitting for it.
• Determinator: When he has an objective in mind, he'll try anything to reach it.
• Follow in My Footsteps: Both Kick's mother and Kick's grandfather were both daredevils in their youth as well. And despite the parental grumping about being careful, they're both proud of Kick.
• Heterosexual Life-Partners: With Gunther.
• Hidden Heart of Gold: He rarely if ever showcases his real feelings about his friends in favor of a stoic facade of a hardened badass, but any time he sees someone in need of serious help with their own personal issues; from his friends, acquaintances, family and even his own rivals and sworn enemies, he will not doubt about lending a hand to help them with their issues. This is also pronounced with his family, as he rarely showcases affection for them but when it matters the most, he will show it without hesitation.
• I Call It "Vera": His skateboard is named Ol' Blue, and his BMX bike, Bonecrusher. And anyone who lives in Mellowbrook would probably attest that although these are sports equipment, they are weaponized when Kick uses them.
• Identical Grandson: Kick looks exactly like his grandpa did when he was younger. Right down to not having a nose.
• Made of Iron: No matter the bone-shattering flubs from his stunts, he's always up in a short time.
• Manly Tears / Not So Stoic: As an occasional response to positive emotions.
• Mature Younger Sibling: Compared to Brad, he is much more responsible.
• Mundane Made Awesome: He turns EVERYTHING into a stunt show.
• The Napoleon: For example, he's embarrassed to be seen buying clothes in a kids' store with his mother.
• Never Bareheaded: The one time his helmet is off, his head still remains covered with mud.
• Nice, Mean, and In-Between: The nice to Brad's mean and Brianna's in-between. Kick is shown as the most moral of the siblings and tries his best to help his brother, sister, and others out.
• Non-Standard Character Design: Kick stands out from most other characters because he's drawn more Animesque. He also lacks a nose.
• The Noseless: Lampshaded in "Wade Against the Machine" and "Garage Banned".
• Oh, Crap!: Has this during the episode Clothes Call when he realizes the tuxedo is missing due to it being hooked onto Frank’s scooter, especially after having a Imagine Spot of Honey being enraged for his irresponsibility.Kick: I gotta find that suit!
• Only Known by Their Nickname: Downplayed, but almost nobody calls him "Clarence", he is only known as "Kick" by most.
• Parental Favoritism: It turns out that it's Kick, not Brianna who is his mother's favorite like everybody thought, due to him inheriting her side of the families passion for stunt performing, much to his sister and brother's rage.
• The Quiet One: He's not very quiet as anyone thinks, but his voice does sound quiet.
• Sensitive Guy and Manly Man: Manly Man to Gunther's Sensitive Guy.
• Speed Demon: Kick is an amateur daredevil who is always on the lookout for ways to go faster.
• The Stoic: Usually he gives a snarky comment at best.
• Stunt Performer: Kick Buttowski is a young aspiring stunt performer who dreams of being the world's greatest daredevil when he grows up, and doesn't let the fact he's ten stop him from starting early.
• This Is Gonna Suck: "Aw, biscuits".
• Vocal Dissonance: He is around 10 years old and happens to be quite short in stature, but he has a quite deep and adult-sounding voice.
• Would Hit a Girl: Had no problem with fighting Brianna in "Stay Cool" when Brianna took his toy.

Gunther Magnuson "Your face is like an apple, ripe to the touch"Voiced by: Matt Jones, Jesús Guzmán (Latin American Spanish)

Kick's best friend and right hand of Viking ancestry. Clumsy and somewhat afraid of risks, but multi talented and reliable.

• Beware the Nice Ones: While being nice and innocent, Gunther can be pretty aggressive when pushed too far.
• Big Fun: Fits the trope.
• Chick Magnet: He's very popular in the Scandinavian region, even having his own fan club.
• Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass: Despite being goofy and silly, he manages to be just as badass as Kick if the situation calls for it.
• Dogged Nice Guy: When he gains a crush on Jackie he is ignored constantly despite his best efforts, thanks to her obsessive crush on Kick, luckily for him his best friend is more than happy to help pair the up for both their sakes.
• Dumb Blonde: Gunther is helpful but easily distracted and confused. Though he is not so much straight-up dumb as he is occasionally careless.
• Early Installment Character-Design Difference: The first six episodes in production order had him with a Tooth Strip, but episodes after have had his teeth detailed.
• Fat Best Friend: To Kick.
• Gasshole: Burps and farts a lot. Taken to the extremes when he consumes lingonberries; one single berry immediately causes him to burp and fart simultaneously. He and Kick even weaponize it once against Brad and his goons.
• Genius Ditz: Despite being moronic and goofy, Gunther shows to have a great swordsmanship and fighting skills since he's a Viking. And he's also a skilled rapper especially when he's angry.
• Gratuitous Spanish: Usually when he sees a very large animal.
• Hair of Gold, Heart of Gold: He's innocent, a little naive, and has a big heart.
• Heterosexual Life-Partners: With Kick (although the "heterosexual" part is sometimes questionable).
• The Lancer: To Kick.
• Paper-Thin Disguise: He seems to be very fond of this, especially in Season 1.
• Proud Warrior Race Guy: Implied and pretty much made fun of with Gunther. A few episodes mention his family are Vikings.
• Sensitive Guy and Manly Man: Sensitive Guy to Kick's Manly Man.
• Strong Family Resemblance: He looks a lot like his mom.
• Unexplained Recovery: In the episode Pool Daze, he suffers severe sunburns on his body from the extreme heat while what seems to be his sunscreen failing to protect him was actually crispy oil, and soon enough he gets fried by the heat so much he becomes an anthropomorphic piece of bacon. In the next shot immediately after that, he is seen back to normal with his sunburns completely gone.
