His close friend is Itsuhito Sakaki, with whom he spends his college time every now and then.
His junior is Hana Uzaki, whom he has known since high school, they were both members of the school’s swimming club. Although back then, he had scared her due to his involuntary aggressive appearance, they, later on, met in college and endeared to each other.
