Madara Mikejima/Relationships

Aira Shiratori




Hiiro Amagi

 * Fellow members of the SHIN circle. Hiiro's first met Madara during the main story. His first impression was negative, as Madara had lifted Tatsumi up without warning, unintentionally causing Hiiro to become agitated.



Hinata Aoi


Enstars!!




Sora Harukawa


Enstars!

 * Sora and Madara worked together in the unit Ba-barrier (introduced in Rainbow) alongside Kagehira Mika and Akiomi Kunugi. Sora and Madara's relationship is amicable; Sora refers to Madara as "Giant-san" (localized to "Mr. Giant) and seems to enjoy being picked up by Madara, though Madara is surprised when Sora escapes with ease . At the time of the live, Sora is struggling with disorientation due to his synesthesia, and Madara is shown to invite Sora to rely on him. Sora responds by calling Madara "dependable".

Enstars!!

 * They're both affiliated with New Dimension. While their exact relationship dynamic is up in the air, Madara explains in his third idol story that Sora is his roommate along with Subaru Akehoshi and Wataru Hibiki. He describes their dorm room to be lively and full of laughter and surprises.



Yuta Aoi


Enstars!!




Adonis Otogari


Enstars!

 * Adonis is a member of the Track and Field club, and refers to Madara as “Captain”. Madara once gave him an ocarina to summon him with, stating that if it was used he would come running . Though Adonis is shown to not always approve of Madara’s antics, he says he believes Madara isn't a bad person.

Enstars!!

 * In Stars!!, Adonis and Madara are still close, with Adonis still calling him "Captain" sometimes, even though Madara has already graduated. They are in the same tea appreciation circle Kaori (or Fragrance).
 * In Learning from the Past, he shows concern when Madara played the part of a backstage helper to AKATSUKI and UNDEAD, telling him he should do things for himself as an idol more.

Mika Kagehira
<section begin="Mika" />

Enstars!

 * In Rainbow, Madara kidnapped Mika at his teacher, Akiomi Kunugi's, request to look for members for the temporary unit Ba-Barrier. Mika didn't like Madara at first because he was big and loud (the kidnapping didn't help either). During the performance, Mika was tired because he had been up making the unit uniforms and feeling uneasy about not performing on stage with Shu. He felt better when Madara noticed his pallor and showed concern for his wellbeing.

Enstars!!


<section end="Mika" />

Natsume Sakasaki
<section begin="Natsume" />

Enstars!!

 * As both are affiliated with New Dimension, Natsume and Madara appear to have a budding, but subtle friendship between them, as Natsume is shown being almost uncharacteristically kind to Madara in areas where others would find him irritating, with this dynamic being in stark contrast to how coldly he's appears to treat Leo.

<section end="Natsume" />

Souma Kanzaki
<section begin="Souma" />

Enstars!

 * Souma is a reluctant friend of Madara’s who is notably off-put by his actions, as seen in Purple Wisterias of May due to his reputation as the slasher.

Enstars!!

 * While still finding Madara’s shadiness off-putting, they seem to have a far better relationship as of A Dark Night's Passing. In the Epilogue, Souma is shown to be supportive of Madara’s mission to protect those he cares about, but internally warns him to not be reckless due to that previously causing him to lose his footing as an idol. He also internally declares that he will back Madara up.


 * Souma knows about the circumstances of Madara being disowned by his family as well as his mission to dismantle and rebuild the Shinkai religion, which implies that either Kanata Shinkai had told him about it, or he and Madara had an off-screen discussion.

<section end="Souma" />

Subaru Akehoshi
<section begin="Subaru" />

Enstars!

 * In Shinsengumi, Madara made a memorable first impression by kidnapping Anzu from right in front of Subaru and Hokuto. After a chase, they sat down with Kuro and Souma from Akatsuki for tea, where Madara chided Trickstar for sitting on their hands after defeating the Student Council, and not following their revolution all the way through. Madara later brushed it off as a joke, but Subaru felt disturbed by his words.

Enstars!!

 * In Ensemble Stars!!, Subaru and Madara seem to be on better terms than they were as of the events of Shinsengumi. Subaru is one of Madara's roommates, along with Sora Harukawa and Wataru Hibiki. Their dorm room is described as being lively, and full of laughter and surprises.


 * As of Sparkle ☆ Start Dash Mission, Subaru has begun to call Madara "Mamu-senpai", with "Mamu" being the pronunciation of Madara's solo MaM.

Kaoru Hakaze
<section begin="Kaoru" />

Enstars!

 * Kaoru and Madara are friends that have appeared together in several event stories. Unlike most other characters, Kaoru doesn’t seem to be too bothered Madara’s otherwise off-putting enthusiasm. They both have a deep caring for Kanata Shinkai, which results in Madara putting his expectations for Kaoru to take care of Kanata on him in Aquarium.


 * Kaoru and Madara are shown getting along well in Billiards, seemingly solidifying a friendship between them.

Enstars!!


<section end="Kaoru" />

Keito Hasumi
<section begin="Keito" />

Enstars!

 * Keito and Madara are classmates in 3A. They are at odds with each other, because Keito was part of the Student Council and the leader of Akatsuki, Yumenosaki's 2nd ranked unit after fine, that worked with Eichi to carry out the subjugation of the Five Oddballs.
 * In Concerto, we learn that Keito was the Student Council member who officially recognised MaM as a solo unit within Yumenosaki. He did this without Eichi's approval to keep Madara from being involved in the subjugation of the Five Oddballs, and because he owed Madara a favour. Keito views Madara as 'a natural disaster' and cautioned Eichi from trying to take Madara down using his weaknesses, saying Madara should be left alone.
 * In Shinsengumi, Keito is wary of working with Madara over Restoration Live and wants to avoid being in debt to him. Madara appears to cooperate cheerfully, but he revealed to Kuro that that he was disgusted that Eichi and Keito were still in power in Yumenosaki after their defeat to Trickstar, so he wanted to use the event to discredit and disband Akatsuki. Madara did not go all the way through with his plan because of his relationship with Kuro and Anzu, and the event was a smashing success for all. He did manage to make Keito freak out by making him think that he was going to steal / alienate Kuro away from Akatsuki though.

Enstars!!

 * In A Dark Night's Passing, Madara said he didn't want to join the agency Rhythm Link because he didn't want to have conflict with Keito.
 * In Learning from the Past, Keito is mildly alarmed when Madara and Kuro are friendly with each other, and warns Madara off from trying to steal Kuro away. He also asked Madara if he intended to use the unit Double Face 'as a means to gather troops into an army to bring ruin to ES', showing his distrust of Madara.

<section end="Keito" />

Kuro Kiryu
<section begin="Kuro" />

Enstars!

 * Kuro is a reluctant friend of Madara’s, with this being further cemented in the event Breakthrough! The Revolutionary Live Which Heralds the Dawn, which establishes their friendly rivalry. They are shown to have prickly interactions, but are comfortable speaking with one another to the point where Madara shamelessly confesses his plot to manipulate Anzu in order to get closer to Trickstar. Kuro doesn’t approve of Madara’s antics, but keeps the secret regardless.

Enstars!!

 * Kuro and Madara seemingly have a better friendship in Enstars!!, as they are shown speaking casually with little aggression toward one another in Learning from the Past／Succession Match. Keito says that it seems that they’ve gotten close, which Kuro denies, but later in the same chapter, Kuro states that Madara seems livelier as “Double Face”.


 * Kuro mentions picking up on some of Madara's behaviors in Nazuna's idol story after Nazuna points it out to him.


 * Madara's third idol story has Kuro cheer Madara up after he admits to feeling glum about his current work situation.


 * In the Kuro's Idol Story "As An Older Brother" Kuro and Madara are revealed to have spent their vacation training at a dojo together before going to pick up a present for Kuro's little sister, who he is unable to see as frequently due to living in the dorms. It's in this idol story that Madara reveals to Kuro that he has a little sister as well, though Kuro is largely unaware of Madara's family situation overall.

<section end="Kuro" />

Rei Sakuma
<section begin="Rei" />
 * While it has yet to be further explored, it was revealed and referenced in several events that Madara is Rei’s successor. In Stars! it is stated by Rei’s brother Ritsu that Madara spends a lot of time over at this house. In Breakthrough! The Revolutionary Live Which Heralds the Dawn, it was revealed that Madara learned most of his manipulation tactics from Rei.
 * In Aquarium, Madara answers Rei's sudden summons to the Light Music Room very cheerfully, saying that he'd help Rei with anything he'd ask, from 'demolishing a building, arranging a passport, smuggling, or even murder'. Rei just wanted to give him a ticket to Shinkai Kanata's aquarium.

Enstars!!

 * Rei appears to serve as a mentor figure to Madara, as Madara reveals in A Dark Night's Passing that Rei is always taking taking care of him and gives off an air of wanting him to consult with him if he needs anything. However, Madara ignores this as he doesn’t want to trouble those important to him, and he knows that if Rei gets involved his problems would be solved.
 * In Learning from the Past, Madara is still helping Rei with jobs, and they frequently involve flying around the world. Madara mentions 'wanting to repay Rei for all he had done for me while still in school', which might include letting Madara stay with him and Ritsu when he was disowned by his family. Madara also helped with preparing the stage for the UNDEAD / Akatsuki live, and Rei invited him to perform on stage with them, concerned that he should perform as an idol too, whether as Double Face or MaM.

<section end="Rei" />

Shu Itsuki
<section begin="Shu" />

Enstars!

 * Shu and Madara were classmates in 3A.
 * Madara was angry at the Student Council's treatment of the Oddballs, saying that the Oddballs (of which Shu is one) were 'people who loved even a man like me'. He called Kurou out about sacrificing his friend Shu (and Valkyrie) to further the Student Council's agenda in Shinsengumi.
 * Shu is not fond of Madara because of his brute strength approach and obstinacy.
 * In Rainbow, Madara kidnapped Mika (from in front of Shu, presumably) for the temporary unit Ba-Barrier, and implied that Shu would be okay with it after going back to speak to him.

Enstars!!

 * In Antique Legend, when investigating Valkyrie's questionable finances as part of Double Face, Madara defeated Shu crushingly in an impromptu Live using DreamFes tactics, previously used to subjugate the Oddballs in Yumenosaki, repeating Shu's terrible experience in Stars!. After Madara laid all of Valkyrie's weaknesses out in a heartlessly honest fashion, saying they had not grown at all in the past two years and likening their match to 'twisting a child's arm', Shu called Madara a 'false hero' and a 'villain'.
 * Later during the joint public live with Double Face and Valkyrie at the Antique Market, Shu, with the memory of the defeat fresh in his mind, went all out with the performance, stage props and costumes for both units, determined that Valkyrie would not lose again. Madara laughed, saying that Double Face had poked a sleeping lion awake. Shu asked if that hadn't been his purpose all along, to shake Valkyrie out of its complacence, but Madara just laughed and said, "Saa. I wonder?"

Tsumugi Aoba
<section begin="Tsumugi" />

Enstars!

 * Tsumugi worked with Madara in Shinsengumi, and Madara doesn't seem to hate him even though he used to be in fine and is part of the Student Council with Eichi and Keito.

Enstars!!

 * Madara explains in A Dark Night's Passing that part of the reason he'd joined New Dimension is due to Tsumugi being a good friend of his. Their interactions reflect a friendship between them, and Madara is stated to help Tsumugi with office work as in King of Thieves.
 * In Next Door, Tsumugi revealed that Madara's involvement in Double Face has helped the agency financially, such that they managed to stay out of the red. He also mentioned that he wished more of the agency's idols would be 'more involved in the political side of things, like ... Mikejima-kun'.

<section end="Tsumugi" />

Akiomi Kunugi
<section begin="Akiomi" />

Enstars!

 * In Rainbow, we learn that Madara is a problem child who 'has probably broken about every school rule there is' and as the teacher-in-charge of student guidance, Kunugi is understandably concerned about keeping him out of trouble. He is also concerned about Madara's lone wolf status as a solo idol, knowing that idols cannot exist alone in this era. He recruited (read: forced) Madara to be part of the temporary unit Ba-Barrier to broaden his perspective and experience what working in a unit would be like, incentivising it by offering to be lenient with Madara's *ahem* misbehaviours. Madara disliked the manipulation and the loss of his free will, and teased his teacher about the arrangement, likening it to a backroom deal or something that the mafia does. In the end, he accepted the deal for the experience (and because Kunugi did not offer a choice).
 * During the performance, Madara was guilting himself for not noticing his less experienced teammates were in trouble and thinking how unsuited he was to teamwork. Kunugi praised him for supporting and showing concern to Mika and Sora in their difficulties. He asked Madara if being in a unit was interesting, and Madara responded with mixed feelings.
 * In a conversation with Jin later about his 'despotic' behaviour in creating Ba-Barrier, Kunugi admitted that it was his job to help his students learn even if he had to play the bad guy.

Enstars!!

 * During Antique Legend, Kunugi told Anzu that he still considered Madara an inexperienced child who needed to be protected. He disapproved of inexperienced children trying to pretend to be adults, believing that they shouldn't have to. He also repeated the idea that his job as a teacher was to help his students learn and grow, even if they feared or hated him.
 * In Madara's newest 3-star story, after Madara made the decision to carry out Double Face activities alone without Kohaku or Anzu's assistance in Antique Legend, he reached out to Kunugi over coffee, requesting for solo work as an idol or a helper. Kunugi agreed to help easily, showing his support for Madara's solo activities even after graduation. They had a minor dispute over paying for coffee and Kunugi won, telling Madara that it was his right and responsibility as an elder to look after the younger ones. Before leaving, he again reminded Madara that while he might prefer working alone, people could not live alone. He told Madara he had the right to ask for help if he ever needed it, which probably led to Madara weaving in his SOS call for help to Kohaku in Secret Service.
 * Kunugi's kindness and maturity led to Madara indulging in Mika's and Sora's (his Ba-Barrier teammates) wish to eat an okonomiyaki-curry-rice bowl at a road side rest stop later that day. Madara thinks about Kunugi's words and aspires to be an outstanding adult who would take care of his juniors after him, showing that Kunugi is one of the very few positive adult role models in Madara's life.
