Enstars!

 * They are both classmates in Class 3-A. Izumi considers Kaoru's appearance to be his "only redeeming feature" in WANTED!!!. They seem to be fairly neutral to one another, though Izumi is understanding of Kaoru's difficulty in modeling and treats him gently in Bridal.
 * From Dance on Ice on, however, they seem to have gotten closer off-screen. Both of them changed the way they referred to one another, turning them into "Kao-kun" and "Senacchi", and Kaoru seems to attempt to engage in friendly banter with Izumi throughout the story. Izumi also seems to see through what Kaoru's real intentions were when he attempted to provoke him, and seems to know about what kind of person he really is, going as far as to later say that Kaoru "seems close, but won't let you step any closer into his personal space", despite saying afterwards that they're "not friends or anything", so he doesn't think he'll step over from his end anyway. Tsukasa, however, seems to think otherwise, stating that if Izumi knows Kaoru that well, then they're already friends.

 * Izumi and Kaoru are both part of the OCEANS circle, and so they engage in circle activities together sometimes, such as in Izumi's "My Kids are Number One" idol story.

Rei Sakuma

Enstars!

 * With a friendship dating back to Kaoru's second year, as evidenced in Crossroad, Rei and Kaoru have a trusting, yet back-and-forth at times, relationship. In Easter's reminisce chapter, Rei brought back souvenirs for Kaoru while he was traveling abroad. As a member of UNDEAD, Rei, the leader, exercises some authority over Kaoru, often relying on Adonis to find and retrieve him for unit practice due to Kaoru's dislike of both responsibility and practice. A running gag of their relationship is Rei's obvious fondness for Kaoru and Kaoru's returned feelings of distaste for spending time with Rei and Undead alike.


 * In Romantic Comedy, Rei speaks extensively with Kaoru about the repercussions of his playboy attitude, speaking as both his friend and his unit leader. It's in this story that Rei's prowess within the idol business is once again regarded as well as his dedication to his unit; Rei mentions to Kaoru in passing that he'd already prepared methods to crush scandals before there ever was one. He also reminds Kaoru more than once while scolding him that his way of alluring fans (flirting and showing gratuitous affection) was not his wrongdoing, providing a source of both comfort and stability through the ordeal.


 * From Repayment Festival on, they have a more playful and relaxed relationship. As stated in several stories, after graduation they were set to enter the idol scene as a duo. This is restated in Athletics, as they have already graduated by the time of the event and are using a free day to support their underclassmen. In Operetta, we get yet another show of their developing relationship, as Kaoru has completely forgone his prior use of "Sakuma-san" in favor of "Rei-kun." When asked, he tells Koga that they're equals, and Rei asked him to be more familiar.

 * Being classmates, the two are on relatively well good terms. Kaoru appears to be fond of Mademoiselle, commenting on her appearance. Mademoiselle has called him one of Shu's "dear friends".


 * During WANTED!!!, Shu helped coach Kaoru on crane games.
