Tsukasa Suou
<section begin="Tsukasa" />

Enstars!

 * Member of the same unit, Knights. Tsukasa often scolds Ritsu for his "unknightly" behavior, but still looks up to him as his senior and acknowledges his skills. On several occasions, Ritsu is shown to have a deep trust toward Tsukasa. In The King's Horseback Ride, he encourages Tsukasa as the only member of Knights who can put an end to Leo's tyranny. He is also the first person to hint that Tsukasa would go on to inherit the title of King from Leo, demonstrating his respect for Tsukasa's idealism and potential to lead. In return, Tsukasa seems to hold Ritsu's insights in high regard. In spite of Tsukasa's tendency to scold Ritsu, and Ritsu's habit of teasing Tsukasa like a child, they have a relationship of strong mutual respect and encouragement.


 * In Mall Live, Tsukasa mentions that Ritsu is a great dancing coach to him.

Anzu
<section begin="Anzu" />

Enstars!

 * Anzu's fellow second year. Ritsu initially acts standoffish around Anzu. In his first substory, he asks her to either move her phone talk somewhere or die, as he is sleeping in the vicinity. However, having her judge his pastry fairly in Sweets Patisserie improves his opinion on her. He grows fond of her in Duel because she listens to everything he says, and finds her a comfortably silent sleeping pillow with a nice scent. In the same event, he gets a taste of her blood and takes liking to it. Ritsu can often be seen pestering Anzu for blood or lap pillow in following events.


 * Dark Night Halloween reveals Ritsu often talks about Anzu to his classmates and refers to her as "hugging pillow" or "emergency ration". They seem to be in comfortable terms where they can tell their worry to each other. Ritsu considers Anzu along his childhood friend Mao the only people who understand him.

Eichi Tenshouin
<section begin="Eichi" />

Enstars!

 * Members of the Tea Club. The two tend to bicker over meaningless things, but are otherwise on good terms, Eichi often teases Ritsu about becoming his "onii-chan" in place of Rei.

Izumi Sena
<section begin="Izumi" />

Enstars!

 * Fellow members of Knights, Ritsu and Izumi have a snippy dynamic, usually bickering or teasing each other often. It usually results in Ritsu toying with him or Izumi openly complaining about Ritsu's attitude. He especially gets annoyed at Ritsu's sleeping habits during unit practice, or his insistence to use Anzu for information on Mao whenever he can. They met back in Izumi's second year, when he accidentally stepped on a sleeping Ritsu near the school gates, at first assuming he was a dead body until proven otherwise. Although he showed concern for him by taking him to the unit practice room, he quickly became put off by his sleeping and snarky attitude. Despite that, they became reliant on each other as friends and unitmates, although Izumi avoids admitting he sees Ritsu as a friend.


 * Even when faced with the truth that Ritsu is Rei Sakuma's brother, Izumi didn't truly care about that and had Ritsu stuck around because he valued his strength as a tactician and member of Knights. He's usually fussing over Ritsu and his laziness, typically telling him what to do when it inconveniences him. Ritsu hardly ever cooperates, frustrating Izumi.


 * Despite the very snarky attitude they have towards each other, they naturally get along as friends and respect each other as unitmates.

Leo Tsukinaga
<section begin="Leo" />

Enstars!

 * Members of the same unit, Knights. Though Ritsu does acknowledge Leo as Knights's leader and king, he doesn't hesitate to make Leo do slave work for him.

Madara Mikejima
<section begin="Madara" />

Enstars!

 * According to Beasts, Ritsu knows Madara as Rei's successor and they've become acquainted due to Madara's frequent visits to the Sakuma household for that reason. It's implied that they're on good terms, as Ritsu doesn't treat him distantly in their interactions as he did other characters outside of his main friend circle. He also pushes slave work onto Madara in the same way he does Leo, making Madara carry him when he's tired, but Madara doesn't seem to mind. Ritsu has given Madara a nickname, calling him "Mikejimaman" which appears to be a play off of the nickname Leo had given Madara, "Mikejimama".

Enstars!!

 * Though offscreen due to the story limitations, Madara is noted to have attended Ritsu's birthday party, singing a new birthday song for him with Leo. In the dialogue pointing this out, Ritsu still refers to him as "Mikejimaman".

Niki Shiina

Tsumugi Aoba
<section begin="Tsumugi" />

Enstars!

 * Ritsu calls Tsumugi "Onii-chan", explaining in Fortune Banquet it's to annoy Rei. In Devils, it's shown Tsumugi spoils Ritsu, allowing him several exceptions to library policies, such as eating in the library. Tsumugi mentions Ritsu became attached to him after being treated kindly and being given several exceptions to library rules, as well as a bed to sleep in while in the library.
