Hanasato Minori: Fellow group member. Shizuku supports her dream of becoming an idol and is inspired by her desire to give people hope.
Kiritani Haruka: Fellow group member. They had previously performed together before forming MORE MORE JUMP! Haruka has shown to be secretly jealous towards Shizuku and her popularity, working herself to the bone to try and become as great as her companion. They respect each other's dedication and poise. In the You Deserve It! Break Time! event, Shizuku got concerned for Haruka after noticing she was overworking herself, so she tried to help her to take a break by taking her out, though it all ended in failure. When Haruka noticed, she told Shizuku to not worry, and promised her that she'll remember to take breaks in the future.
Momoi Airi: Fellow group member. The two debuted at the same time and are very close. One of the first things Airi ever told her was that an idol's most important quality was having heart, rather than looks or talent.[1] In the main story, Shizuku felt discouraged by the jealousy in her old idol group, but Airi stood up for her, openly complimenting her and recognizing that she was more than just her beautiful appearance. Shizuku has a great respect for her confidence and work ethic, seeing Airi as "her idol."
Hoshino Ichika: Shiho's childhood friend. Shizuku is always happy to see Ichika and the other members of Leo/need to get along with Shiho.
Tenma Saki: Shiho's childhood friend. Shizuku particularly adores Saki.
Mochizuki Honami: Shiho's childhood friend. During the first year of the story, they were also part of the beautification committee together.
Hinomori Shiho: Shizuku's younger sister. Shizuku likes to dote on her a lot, due to the little time they were able to spend together since Shizuku was often busy with work. Shiho finds her clinginess annoying, but appreciates the things that Shizuku has done for her. In the event The Moon Rabbit & Us, it is shown that Shizuku began to act clingy towards Shiho when they were in kindergarten. One day, when they made dango for a moon-viewing party, Shiho was upset by the fact that their parents were coming home late and that they couldn't show the dango to them until much later. She tried to remain stoic for Shizuku's sake, but Shizuku comforted her and reassured her that it was okay to express her feelings of sadness.
Azusawa Kohane: The two first met during the Wishing to the Blue Sky for Your Happiness! event.
Shiraishi An: Despite meeting for the first time during a wedding photoshoot, An already knew Shizuku since she used to be part of Cheerful＊Days, while Shizuku knew of An from Haruka. Since then, they have become good friends.
Tenma Tsukasa: Shizuku's childhood acquaintance. As Shiho and Saki were childhood friends, Tsukasa and Shizuku were also friends, just not as close as their siblings. They used to play in the park together.[2]
Asahina Mafuyu: Friends and fellow archery clubmate. Shizuku appreciates Mafuyu treating her like a normal person. The two first met during their first year of high school when they were both visiting the archery club, and Mafuyu's assertion that she wants to practice together with Shizuku helped her convince to join the club as well.[3] Shizuku is also aware that Mafuyu is hiding something but cannot exactly tell what it is and hopes that Mafuyu will tell her one day.
Shinonome Ena: A friend she first met through Airi.
Akiyama Mizuki: Friends following the What's On Your Mind? Exciting Picnic! event. The two are also sewing buddies, often going to handicraft stores and making things together.[4]
Hatsune Miku: VIRTUAL SINGER and fellow idol.
