Enstars![]
- Despite Shinobu's shyness, he latches onto Anzu quite easily. He proudly refers to her with extravagant titles like his Goddess/Archangel and states he respects her as much as he does Mao.
- Anzu's attitude towards Shinobu seems to be a mix of cold and sweet. She would look at him weirdly when he brandished his ninja techniques and ignore his eager offers to help her, but she would also go along with his ninja activities, often seen using 's wall the camouflage technique he learned from Shinobu, [4] and likes to pat his head when he's being helpful or adorable.

- During the special events in Tetora's birthday course he mentions how being congratulated by Anzu gave him a different feeling than what he experiences when his friends congratulate him.

Enstars![]
- Tomoya is Anzu's junior whom she's friendly with. Anzu can be seen sharing her umbrella with him in one mini event, for example.
- Tomoya initially considers Anzu an "ordinary person" like him, but envies her upon seeing everyone depend on her as their reliable producer in Tanabata Festival. He uses this to encourage himself to work harder, but only repeats the same train of thought in Phantom Thieves VS Detectives - where he wakes up to find Anzu sleeping while hugging him - and grows disappointed in himself as he hasn't changed. Tomoya vows to grow to be seen as an equal to Anzu and not a hugging pillow.
Enstars!![]
Tori Himemiya[]
Enstars![]
- Tori gets very attached to Anzu along the course of the story (in Spring), most likely after the DDD event. Perhaps it's because she listens to whatever he says, but Tori takes quick liking to Anzu and calls her his "Slave #2". He feels betrayed when Anzu sells him out to Yuzuru and protects Anzu from Koga when he mistakes him for bullying her in the radio drama. Tori is also the first character to call Anzu by name instead of "Transfer student", starting from Circus. In fine's unit CD short drama, he tells Yuzuru that Eichi and Anzu are the only one who can pat his head. Anzu obviously spoils Tori quite a lot. Their relationship seems to resemble a spoiled little brother and his responsible big sister.

He has gotten the habit of calling her "Onee-sama" after she taught him a card game ,and he asked her to think of him as her little brother while they play.[8] Tsukasa considers Anzu "the Queen he serves" and always readily devotes himself to her (e.g serving her tea or sweets when she's tired).

3rd Year Students[]
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).
Enstars!![]
Arashi Narukami[]
Enstars![]
- Fellow second years. Arashi acts as a big sister towards Anzu and often worries for her. Anzu herself appears to regard her as her "Onee-chan". School Trip reveals that one of the reasons Arashi insists on being an older sister figure is because Arashi knows Anzu would feel suffocated in an all-boys school, and, since they are both the only girls in the school, she takes it upon herself to fill that role.
Enstars!![]
HiMERU[]
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.
- Hokuto was given a role of a girl in Performance, in which he practiced ballroom dancing with Anzu. He was taught ballroom dancing as a kid, but only recalled the steps of the "leader", or the male dance partner. Hokuto stated that he thought it'd be nice to spend time together with her before going home, and he wants Anzu to stay with him and Trickstar too in the future, since she was their "success story itself".
- 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.

Jun Sazanami[]
Enstars![]
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.
Enstars!![]
Makoto Yuuki[]
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.
Enstars!![]
Mao Isara[]
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 a similarly delicate position in Trickstar throughout the Main Story, and Mao thinks of Anzu as his fellow hard worker. Mao once noted that he loves Anzu's voice, and he feels at ease when he hears it, telling her to speak clearly because it'll make him happy if he doesn't miss out on anything she says.
- Mao first met Anzu after the rest of the Trickstar carried a collapsed Anzu to the infirmary. They met again when Mao came looking for Anzu and found her holding her knees, terrified inside the Garden Terrace Kitchen, and reached out to her.
- Mao once stated that Anzu used to be more nervous. He described her as having always looked like she was going to die, as if her heart was about to burst from uneasiness.[11] He notes that she always appeared exhausted from anxiety whenever she'd send Trickstar to the "battlefield," but has since relaxed considerably since Trickstar has come so far. Mao said that the trust she developed in Trickstar and seeing Anzu at ease makes him happy. Mao remarked that even though Anzu may not talk much, she isn’t heartless, and when she does speak it's as if everything she says is full of meaning. He says that although she seemed like the pushover type, she is actually quite stubborn.
- Mao helped Anzu with the plans for Tanabata Festival until it reached perfection.[12] While Mao helped Anzu with her work, Anzu requested him to call her by her name, as she didn't want to be called "Transfer Student" any longer. Later, Mao consoled a crying Anzu as she was overwhelmed with being asked to plan the S1 event, saying that she didn't know why she was chosen for it. He tells her he feels she's grown apart from Trickstar in producing for other units and taking on other jobs. But at the same time, he felt happy that they were both stumbling and struggling sometimes in the same way, feeling that they are connected. He encourages her to keep growing and working together to move forward so they can stand side-by-side in a much brighter, sparkling future. He becomes jealous when she hugs Shinobu "to heal herself," but laughs it off, saying it was fine if she got pumped back up and that there was no way he could win against cute things like little kids and animals. In multiple instances of the story, Shinobu was convinced that the two of them were "on a date" or "having a moment." Mao and Anzu were also in charge of monitoring the Setsubun Festival together. Mao has mentioned that Anzu's hard work motivates him to work harder, and that it feels like she is always beside him. During the Chocolat Fes, Mao describes Anzu as more of a busybody than he is, and says that she even has an aura that makes him want to rely on her unconditionally. However, Mao doesn't wish to rely on her all the time, and wishes that she would allow herself to rely on him as well. He hopes to develop a give-and-take relationship with her. Following the Chocolat Fes, Mao was invited to dinner by Anzu's family. There, the two made chicken stew for Trickstar together, and Mao helped with the cleaning.
- Mao often finds himself in awkward situations with Anzu through pure accident. Once when hanging tanzaku for the Tanabata Festival, he thought that he made Anzu cry when praising her, although she was actually smiling. When worriedly descending the stairs, he lost his balance and tripped on top of her when she ran forward to catch him. They seem to share a teasing relationship sometimes, as Anzu shakes the ladder while Mao is hanging up the decorations after he compares her to a reliable mom, and she on pulls his hair when Mao misunderstands her apology and remarks jokingly that he feels lucky he gets to touch something he barely felt before after he fell on top of her. He ended up prostrating himself desperately to Anzu once the rest of Trickstar found out. Another awkward situation was when he found Anzu in his futon upon waking up in Trickstar's inn room, then becoming embarrassed when Anzu bent over in her yukata and he didn't know where to look.
Enstars!![]
- When Mao talked with Anzu in the StuCo room in his Idol story, he said that they saw each other so often last year, but since Anzu had been moved into the Producer Course they didn't have may chances to talk. When Tori entered the StuCo room, Mao seemed disappointed because at first it was just the two of them there. When Anzu wore a suit inside of the ES building in the elevator he thought that she looks unfamiliar and he was shocked, because in his eyes she looked like an adult.
- It's revealed that Mao may harbor feelings towards Anzu, as he was in shock when he thought that Anzu would be getting married when he saw her hold a wedding magazine in Ring A Bell. In the same event he and Midori acted like heartbroken adults as they drank juice. When Leo mentioned that he was composing a song about heartbreak, Midori said that Mao was hit with a stray bullet from Leo, even though Leo didn't intend to hurt him.
Mayoi Ayase[]
Mika Kagehira[]
Enstars![]
- Anzu's fellow second year. Upon meeting Mika, Anzu immediately tries to befriend him due to his physical similarities to her best friend at Kimisaki, Suzu Kuromori.[13] 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 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).[14] Shortly afterwards, 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 the 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.[15]
Enstars!![]
Natsume Sakasaki[]
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!![]
Ritsu Sakuma[]
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 else 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 a 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 on comfortable terms where they can tell their worries to each other. Ritsu considers Anzu, along with his childhood friend Mao, the only people who understand him.
Enstars!![]
Souma Kanzaki[]
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!![]
Subaru Akehoshi[]
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".
Enstars!![]
Tatsumi Kazehaya[]
Yuzuru Fushimi[]
Enstars![]
- Anzu's fellow second year, who transferred to the school around the same time as her. Yuzuru believes they're similar because of their workaholic tendencies and he helps her whenever he can, such as in Christmas Live.
- However, Yuzuru is secretly displeased when Anzu gets along with Tori, as he fears that Anzu will take his role away. As seen in Circus, Yuzuru reveals he doesn't like how Tori had become so close to Anzu in a short time and was treated as more of a friend than him, who stayed by Tori's side the whole time, to the point that in Noble Game, he allows Tori's sister to pull pranks on Anzu purely out of spite.
Enstars!![]
Graduates[]
Chiaki Morisawa[]
Enstars![]
- Chiaki is Anzu's senior. Chiaki often hugs Anzu out of habit, despite being reminded by his surroundings that such gesture is inappropriate towards a girl. Anzu can act somewhat brash towards Chiaki, like hitting him with paper fan in Hero Show when he refuses to rest. In the same event scouting though, Anzu took care of him when he fell ill, which made him happy. He told Anzu it was a dream of his to have a cute girlfriend taking care of him, before correcting himself because Anzu is not his girlfriend. He repeated his situation was dream-like and told Anzu it reminded him of when he was a sickly kid and that he might end up calling Anzu "mother".
Enstars!![]
Eichi Tenshouin[]
Enstars![]
- Anzu acts nervous and somewhat cautious around Eichi, and this doesn't seem to change much throughout the year. The short story "The Afternoon Emperor" reveals she resents him for his attempts to disband Trickstar, but Anzu is getting less and less tense around Eichi as well. She went as far as falling asleep on his lap once.[16]
- They have tea together occasionally, and Anzu listens to his request in Agents, so they might get along, in spite of some awkwardness.[17]
- Eichi initially overlooks Anzu, which leads to his failing in DDD. He learns from there that she's worthy of being his playmate. In WANTED!!! and Tanabata Festival, he admits that he's slowly grooming Anzu with constants struggles in hopes she would become his worthy enemy someday. As time goes on, he seems to start appreciating Anzu more as a person and less as just a plaything. In Quarrel Festival, he talked to her a lot about his past, the bad things he's done and his relationship with Keito. He is comfortable with her and went as far as telling her he would feel better if she gave him oxygen via mouth-to-mouth.
- Anzu is getting less and less tense around Eichi as well. She went as far as falling asleep on his lap in Tea Party.
- In the light novel, Anzu reveals she resents Eichi for trying to disband Trickstar in the main story. Also, the "Daydream" chapter, which focuses on Eichi, reveals that upon meeting her, he realizes she was the one destined to change the school's ways.
Enstars!![]
Hiyori Tomoe[]
Enstars![]
Enstars!![]
Izumi Sena[]
Enstars![]
- While Izumi dislikes how close she is to Trickstar, he doesn't see her as an opponent or someone to worry about. He respects her skills and dedication as a producer. Even if he typically is harsh towards her, he does fuss over her when she's overworking herself, saying how "s~o annoying" it is to see how worn down she is in WANTED!!!.
- Izumi initially considers Anzu an amateur producer and a bug getting close to his Yuu-kun. In Duel however, he learns Anzu and Makoto's relationship is nothing to worry about and begins recognizing her skills.
- Izumi views Anzu as a bridge between Makoto and himself. Yet, despite expressing disappointment when Anzu doesn't bring Makoto along with her, he still thoroughly helps with her work in Pirates and Test of Courage. In Test of Courage, he even offers to take Anzu home on his bike, it being late at night.
- By winter he has grown very fond of her and seems to consider her akin to a little sister[18] during StarFes, cooing that if she wanted hot tea he would give it to her, and knitting her a hat with pom-poms, saying that it fit her and she looked cute[19][20]. He behaves similarly warm to her during Dance on Ice, making her tea and fussing over her health. Leo comments that "I bet your nosiness escalates because Anzu accepts your affection properly."[21]
Enstars!![]
Kanata Shinkai[]
Enstars![]
- Kanata is Anzu's senior. Kanata tends to listen to what Anzu says, saying he owes a lot to her.
Enstars!![]
Kaoru Hakaze[]
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, often attributed to the fact she came from an all-girls school and might be unused to men of Kaoru's type. There are several instances where Anzu relaxes her guard around Kaoru, leading him to believe that they're growing closer, only for the distance to be quickly reset after Kaoru makes a move that Anzu dislikes. In the light novel, it's revealed that Anzu doesn't think Kaoru as a bad person, but feels uncomfortable with his constant flirting.
- It is shown, however, that Kaoru genuinely cares for Anzu and sees her as her own individual self rather than as another girl. He immediately dived in to save her when Anzu once accidentally fell into an aquarium, and helped her calm down and make her smile afterwards. When Anzu overworked herself to the point of fainting, he remarked that he felt powerless, saying that if it was "someone else who wasn't him", she might have listened to their warnings and not collapsed. Later, when Kaoru visits Anzu in the hospital, Anzu offered comfort to Kaoru after hearing him talk about his mother and how worried he was, stroking his head.
- During the Repayment Festival, he tells her that he was "wondering if she could've been his mother", saying that he would've liked it if Anzu was someone who could surround him with love like his mother could have done. Although she shows a disheartened expression at his farewell, he tries to get her to cheer up and tells her to smile, telling her he'll be waiting even after graduation and that he'll properly hit on her the next time they met. However, to Kaoru's dismay, the two end up meeting again very soon after this, causing him to get embarrassed and to hide behind Rei. In many other instances like this, Kaoru often acts almost like a maiden in love, stumbling over his words and getting unexpectedly embarrassed.
Enstars!![]
- In contrast to his overbearing romantic pursuits in the (!) Era, Kaoru has changed how he acts around Anzu drastically. In his first Idol Story, he is seen to be running from Anzu multiple times out of panic and embarrassment, and anguishes that his character has turned into something like a teenage boy in puberty. However, his feelings for her did not change after graduation. In his first Idol Story and when he is thrust into practicing asking someone out on a date with Anzu for his romance drama, it is shown that he prepares lots of cool lines in his heads for situations like those, but they all fly from his head and turns tongue-tied when it comes to it. He reaches out for the talk about his Feature Scout costume first, and while they discuss his costume, Kaoru starts taking her to places where they could talk longer, hoping for them to start knowing more about each other, little by little.
Keito Hasumi[]
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".
Enstars!![]
Kuro Kiryu[]
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.
Enstars!![]
Leo Tsukinaga[]
Enstars![]
- Anzu is the one who searched for and found Leo, under Tsukasa's request. The details of how she found him is unknown, but Arashi calls it a feat as even the police was unable to find Leo. Leo remembers Anzu's name relatively fast for himself (though he still forgets several times in the process) and counts her among the weird/interesting people he's fond of, hence throwing her words of love since their first meeting.
- Anzu begins studying composition under Leo in The King's Horseback Ride, and they share a master-disciple relationship. Leo writes a note to himself in his material book, which reads: "Anything you don't know, ask Anzu. She's everywhere" in Dark Night Halloween, hinting a deep trust.
- In Leo's mini events, Anzu can be seen taking care of Leo, like providing him lunch or sugar intake, brushing fallen leaves from his hair, and lending him pen when his runs out of ink.
Enstars!![]
Madara Mikejima[]
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 Walking in Darkness, 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 Walking in Darkness, 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[]
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[22] or to kiss the back of her neck[23].
- Anzu seemed to treat him like she would an elder. Rei was very thankful of the change Anzu brought to Yumenosaki.

Akiomi Kunugi[]
Enstars![]
- Akiomi regards Anzu fairly well, praising the weekly report she turns in in Crash Course and encouraging her to keep at it when he sees her sketch of a live stage in a mini event. There are times when his opinion of her hasn't been too positive with him complaining to Jin about how she's been causing a fuss around the school in Tanabata Festival claiming that he doesnt know what she's thinking.
Enstars!![]
- Akiomi and Anzu are coworkers in the current era both working under the P-Association. In countless voicelines Akiomi has expressed slight difficulty in adjusting to the new dynamics between himself & Anzu with their relationship no longer being between a student and teacher but rather as coworkers.
Jin Sagami[]
Enstars![]
- Anzu often drops by the Infirmary to rest, where she would find Jin - who is also her homeroom teacher. Some options in his mini events have Anzu give him her handmade lunch box or pour tea for him.
Enstars!![]
- Anzu and Jin are coworkers both working under the P-Association. Jin tries to have an amicable realtionship with Anzu treating her in a friendly way. Due to Jin's laziness, he often jokes about handing off his work to her but does care for her. Therefore, he encourages her to take more breaks and not overwork herself. All with good intention so she doesn't waste her youth.

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.
