Adonis Otogari


Enstars!

 * Fellow classmates in 2-A. Adonis views Anzu as one of the "small weak creatures" he must protect. Adonis often gives her food while encouraging her to eat more and grow strong. As time passes, he acknowledges her growth, but expresses desire to support her even if she's no longer "weak". They get along well as fellow classmates. In the Amusement Park Show, Adonis said he know that Anzu had become stronger, but he still want to protect her from all senior that after her, like Kaoru or Rei.


 * Like Souma, Adonis often protects Anzu from Kaoru, seeing how uncomfortable she acts around him.


 * In the novel, Anzu fears him due to his appearance and (at the time) hasn't had much chance to converse with him. However, she acknowledges that he's not a bad person, as he (for some reason) often gives her food (bananas).

Hokuto Hidaka


Enstars!

 * Her fellow classmate in 2-A. Upon Anzu's transfer into Yumenosaki, Hokuto takes the role of showing her around, being the class president.


 * In the novels, Anzu notes Hokuto acts a bit defensive when someone takes away his role from him (in this case, his role as Anzu's guide), and Anzu reassures in her heart that he's "her only tutor". Also in the novels, Hokuto seems to be the only student that knows about Anzu being transferred to normal courses, but for some reasons transferred to the Producer course instead, Anzu herself questioning why Hokuto knows so much.


 * It looks like Wataru believes Hokuto is in love with Anzu, as he told her in Opera Hokuto stopped being a boring person ever since he fell in love with her. In Restaurant, he restates this.

Enstars!!




Koga Oogami


Enstars!

 * Anzu's fellow second year. Anzu and Koga's first meeting involves him stepping all over her until she faints. Though it clearly bothers him, Koga refuses to apologize when Rei offers him the chance, and instead uses the incident as an excuse to assist her like in the Main Story or Circus. His statement in Dark Night Halloween - "I can't hurt you the second time, Anzu!" - implies he's still yet to forget the guilt.


 * Anzu and Koga unexpectedly share a natural chemistry and grow closer throughout the year. In Dark Night Halloween, he states he does not like treating Anzu like a frail object, as it would look as if he lacks faith in her. In the same event, Anzu makes a finger gun gesture while saying "Bang!" at Koga to poke fun at their Red Riding Hood and Wolf role. Anzu also prevents Koga from resorting to violence by clinging onto him, and Koga tries to appease her by proving he is calm - there have also been other similar instances in the radio drama and Sports Festival.

Makoto Yuuki
<section begin="Makoto" />

Enstars!

 * Fellow classmates in 2-A. With Subaru and Hokuto's unique personality, Makoto plays large part in easing Anzu into the group. Makoto displays interest in Anzu (though the fact he hasn't had many females to interact with in his life may play a large part) but lacks courage to invite her to summer festivals together or ask her on dates.


 * In Duel, there was a misunderstanding and Makoto thought Anzu called him up on the roof because she wanted to confess her love to him. Makoto said it made him really happy.


 * In the novels, Anzu notices how Makoto wears a blank look on him whenever his past as gravure model is mentioned or how he seems to look a little left out of the special relationship Subaru and Hokuto share. She also feels anger at Izumi's words in Izumi's debut chapter, but holds back because she doesn't feel she has the right to lash out like a mother when she herself has neglected to understand Makoto.

Mao Isara
<section begin="Mao" />

Enstars!

 * Being a member of Trickstar - the unit Anzu is closest to - Mao is one of the people Anzu is on good terms with. He is the first to take the initiative to escort Anzu home when it's late, and even gets acquainted with her family, intruding them for dinner sometimes. They share similarly delicate position in Trickstar throughout the Main Story, and Mao thinks of Anzu as his fellow hardworker.

Mika Kagehira
<section begin="Mika" />

Enstars!

 * Anzu's fellow second year. Upon meeting Mika in his first substory, Anzu immediately tries to befriend him due to his physical similarities to her best friend at Kimisaki, Suzu Kuromori. Because Mika is less shy around girls, he is friendly to Anzu when they initially meet. However, when he finds out that she is the "rumored producer from Class 2-A", he quickly resents her since he cannot trust someone working with units other than Valkyrie, although Mika still shows Anzu some kindness mixed in with his hateful attitude in later interactions.


 * Mika says that he refuses to acknowledge Anzu as a producer, and in Toy Box, he admits to himself that she may really have talent and talks about his unit's problems in front of her (although he claims to be talking to himself). Later on in the same story, Mika is impressed by a poster that Anzu has drawn with a scary-looking design, and asks her if he can have it to put in his room. Anzu happily agrees after Mika explains that he likes both cute and scary things, and that he admires both Anzu's more cute art style as well as her scarier one.


 * As the year progresses, Anzu continues to attempt producing Valkyrie and being friends with Mika despite his protests (which is similar to how Anzu befriended Suzu in Ensemble Girls!).. By the end of winter, sometime near Repayment Festival, Mika has come to find her reliable and respect her as a producer. Mika also mentions that in return for all the favors Anzu did for Valkyrie, he pinky promised Anzu that they could become friends starting in the spring of the following school year.

Natsume Sakasaki
<section begin="Natsume" />

Enstars!

 * Natsume and Anzu, called "Koneko-chan" by Natsume, are fellow classmates in 2-A. Natsume appreciates Anzu's work as a producer and cares about her well-being. In Eccentric and Hospital Visit, he jokes about Anzu being his girlfriend and them being a happy couple, though Anzu rejects these statements to others, saying that they are together because of work and not dates.

Enstars!!


<section end="Natsume" />

Souma Kanzaki
<section begin="Souma" />

Enstars!

 * Fellow classmates in 2-A. Souma and Anzu get along well and even endeavor in a girl talk concerning hair in Quarrel Festival. Souma often protects Anzu from Kaoru, whom he believes to be a danger to her.


 * It is revealed by Adonis during Greek Legends, that Souma often avoided contact with girls, but wouldn't hesitate to put Anzu's hand to his face.


 * He seems to be really close to Anzu and want to know her better, like when He talks about his brother in his daily course, he said his brother wants to meet Anzu and Souma himself also want to meet Anzu's Brother.

Enstars!!


<section end="Souma" />

Subaru Akehoshi
<section begin="Subaru" />

Enstars!

 * Her fellow classmate in 2-A. Subaru is the first person Anzu met after she transferred into Yumenosaki. They get along very well; Anzu allows him physical contacts and doesn't hold back around him. She seems more energetic than usual around him, with Mao stating in Onibi that "you can't stop Subaru and Anzu when they're like this". In First Shrine Visit Subaru finds himself thinking about Anzu. He seems to always be happy around her, and even thinks that it would be great if they could always be together, even if he knows she's "Everyone's Producer".

Tatsumi Kazehaya

Kaoru Hakaze
<section begin="Kaoru" />

Enstars!

 * Kaoru tries to drag Anzu to a date upon first meeting, but is met with rejection as Anzu runs away and hides from him. This pattern also repeats in Kaoru's second substory. Anzu seems to view Kaoru with caution - understandable considering she came from an all-girls school and might be unused to men of Kaoru's type.


 * There are instances where Anzu relaxes her guard around Kaoru, leading the latter to believe they're growing closer, but then Kaoru does something Anzu dislikes which resets their distance.


 * In the light novel, it's revealed that Anzu doesn't think Kaoru as a bad person, but feels uncomfortable with his constant flirting.

Enstars!!

Keito Hasumi
<section begin="Keito" />

Enstars!

 * Keito intially considers Anzu along with Trickstar troublemakers disrupting Yumenosaki's orders and, by extension, Eichi's enemy. Anzu herself actively avoids Keito in his substories. He grows to recognize her as a producer however and even helps her with the planning of her first DreamFes - which is also an S1 - in Tanabata Festival.


 * Their relationship undergoes the most change in Quarrel Festival. After making her redo her B1 proposal from scratch, he pats her head as appreciation. He speaks of caring for Anzu more now that Eichi can stand on his own.


 * Keito's A Soul in a Single Stroke substory reveals Anzu to be a fan of Keito's art that he does for the school, and her art style even contains his influence. This carries to Agents where Anzu enthusiastically tells Mao of Keito's art skills, referring to him as Master (Shishou), though Keito claims he has no memory of taking her as disciple.


 * In Philosopher's Guidance, when Keito asks Makoto to leave the illustrations for a document up to him, Anzu can't help but ask him for an autograph. Despite already owning a signed autograph board, she wishes for another copy she can use to preserve since the former had been hung in her house as an heirloom. Keito is troubled because her actions could be taken the wrong way. Regardless he signs it for her cheerfully, happy to know that she is his fan. He henceforth declares Anzu as his "Number One Fan". Anzu comments that Keito's ability to draw in contrast to his strict demeanor is "Gap Moe".

Kuro Kiryu
<section begin="Kuro" />

Enstars!

 * Kuro is Anzu's senior. Anzu fears Kuro's looks at first but relaxes upon learning he's a good person. She studies how to make idol costumes under Kuro and sometimes imitate him - like wearing weights on her arms while she's sewing, the same way Kuro does. Kuro often inadvertently treats Anzu like his little sister.

Madara Mikejima
<section begin="Madara" />

Enstars!

 * In Runway, it’s revealed that Madara is secretly helping Anzu with producer administration work, but prefers to not tell her as he knows she would reject his help and attempt to do everything herself.


 * In Shinsengumi, Madara reveals to Kuro that his claims about being Anzu's childhood friend were embellished to use her to get closer to Trickstar. While they did meet as children, they had only played together a few times. This is why Anzu does not remember having been Madara's friend as a child.


 * Despite her prickly demeanor toward him on occasion, Anzu like any of his other friends is shown to care about Madara and helps him out with his solo unit. In Shinsengumi, she was the one that created his costume for the event, despite his behavior earlier on.


 * Madara comments in Aquarium that he wishes he could be a person to Anzu who "wouldn’t put her on a pedestal" like many others do.

Enstars!!

 * Anzu is shown to be more openly friendly toward Madara without player provocation. In the main story, she reassures him that he has his friends, fans, and her who care about him when he laments his loneliness as a solo unit. She asked Madara to assist ALKALOID in her stead when Eichi forbids her from getting involved.


 * Madara lists Anzu among the people who gives him jobs after he struggles to obtain unit work as a solo idol. She’s shown to worry about him, and can offer to go somewhere to relax with him in one of his D.L.F.S course dialogues. This is in contrast to how she behaved toward him in the original game, where she would actively avoid interactions.


 * Anzu participated in her own share of shady dealings for Madara’s sake in A Dark Night's Passing, even though Madara made sure she wasn’t fully aware of Double Faces plans.


 * Anzu worrying about Madara is what leads her to continue producing Double Face, a unit formed of Madara and Kohaku, beyond their original mission.


 * In A Dark Night's Passing, Anzu creates the costume and song for Double Face's debut live. At the end of the event, Anzu forces Madara and Kohaku Oukawa to stay in the unit together by enforcing the rule that solo units will not be able to perform on the revived show “Marble Cast”. Madara notes that she seems to be worried about him working solo forever, thusly being the reason why she did this.

Rei Sakuma
<section begin="Rei" />

Enstars!

 * Rei and Anzu first met in Rebellion, after he asked the Aoi twins to bring her to the Light Music Club Room. He then proceeded to make her sing and dance like an idol to determine her skill, but he found out that she was an amateur. He harshly yet calmly critiqued her and Trickstar, enough that she spaced out and cried. Even so, Rei still found great potential in her. He saw her as very kind, out of all things.


 * Throughout the year, Rei proceeded to often lean on Anzu whenever he felt dizzy, or had her carry him. He was grateful for her kindness. At some points, Rei would tease Anzu when he asked to sleep on her lap or to kiss the back of her neck.


 * Anzu seemed to treat him like she would an elder. Rei was very thankful of the change Anzu brought to Yumenosaki.

Tsumugi Aoba
<section begin="Tsumugi" />

Enstars!

 * Tsumugi often acts flustered or confused around Anzu due to always going to all-boys school in the past and his fear of younger people.

Anzu's Mother

 * Anzu can often be seen eating the lunch her mother made, like in Wataru's mini event.

Anzu's Younger brother

 * Anzu and her younger brother appear to be very close. They played card games against each other as children, and go to summer festival together every year. In First Shrine Visit, she invites him to visit the shrine together but is declined, leaving Anzu dejected. He apparently also hasn't been interacting with her much, which Tsukasa chalks up to puberty. If one takes into account his comments about her during Ensemble Girls! and the comparisons to Anzu made by some of the Kimisaki students, it's implied he's started to resent how he's been stuck under her shadow.


 * One of the books of novelization establishes that they are not related by blood, while this contradicts the canon of the games themselves, where a strong family resemblance between Anzu and her brother becomes an reason for jokes and the development of several plot lines.
