===Subaru Akehoshi===
: In Shinsengumi, Madara made a memorable first impression by kidnapping Anzu from right in front of Subaru and Hokuto. After a chase, they sat down with Kuro and Souma from Akatsuki for tea, where Madara chided Trickstar for sitting on their hands after defeating the Student Council, and not following their revolution all the way through. Madara later brushed it off as a joke, but Subaru felt disturbed by his words. 
:In Ensemble Stars!!, Subaru and Madara seem to be on better terms than they were as of the events of Shinsengumi. Subaru is one of Madara's roommates, along with Sora Harukawa and Wataru Hibiki. Their dorm room is described as being lively, and full of laughter and surprises.
:As of Sparkling☆START DASH, Subaru has begun to call Madara "Mamu-senpai", with "Mamu" being the pronunciation of Madara's solo MaM.

===Shu Itsuki===
:Shu and Madara were classmates in 3A. 
:Madara was angry at the Student Council's treatment of the Oddballs, saying that the Oddballs (of which Shu is one) were 'people who loved even a man like me'. He called Kuro out about sacrificing his friend Shu (and Valkyrie) to further the Student Council's agenda in Shinsengumi.
:In Steampunk Museum, Madara wanted to give a museum job to Valkyrie because it suited their image better than MaM's would. Shu agreed that it would suit them, but initially rejected the offer. Madara got Sora and Yuuta to give Shu the 'puppy-eyes-we-want-to-see-Valkyrie-perform' treatment and Shu relented, irate that Madara would play on his weaknesses like this. Shu is not fond of Madara because of his brute strength approach and obstinacy. Madara ignored Shu's closed door and kept banging on it and insisted on hugging Shu despite repeated "Non!!"s.Steampunk Museum - Chapter 5
:In Rainbow, Madara kidnapped Mika (from in front of Shu, presumably) for the temporary unit Ba-Barrier, and implied that Shu would be okay with it after going back to speak to him.Rainbow - Chapter 28
: In The Tale of Antiques, when investigating Valkyrie's questionable finances as part of Double Face, Madara defeated Shu crushingly in an impromptu Live using DreamFes tactics, previously used to subjugate the Oddballs in Yumenosaki, repeating Shu's terrible experience in Stars!The Tale of Antiques - Chapter 3. After Madara laid all of Valkyrie's weaknesses out in a heartlessly honest fashion, saying they had not grown at all in the past two years and likening their match to 'twisting a child's arm', Shu called Madara a 'false hero' and a 'villain'.
:Later during the joint public live with Double Face and Valkyrie at the Antique Market, Shu, with the memory of the defeat fresh in his mind, went all out with the performance, stage props and costumes for both units, determined that Valkyrie would not lose again. Madara laughed, saying that Double Face had poked a sleeping lion awake. Shu asked if that hadn't been his purpose all along, to shake Valkyrie out of its complacence, but Madara just laughed and said, "Well. I wonder?"
===Mika Kagehira===
: In Rainbow, Madara kidnapped Mika at his teacher, Akiomi Kunugi's, request to look for members for the temporary unit Ba-Barrier. Mika didn't like Madara at first because he was big and loud (the kidnapping didn't help either). During the performance, Mika was tired because he had been up making the unit uniforms and feeling uneasy about not performing on stage with Shu. He felt better when Madara noticed his pallor and showed concern for his wellbeing.
:In Steampunk Museum, Mika was fascinated with a puzzle box that Madara was playing with, thinking that Shu would like it. Madara put the box on the floor and went off, and caught Mika when he came out of the bushes (where he was hiding) to study it.

===Rei Sakuma===
:While it has yet to be further explored, it was revealed and referenced in several events that Madara is Rei’s successor. In Stars! it is stated by Rei’s brother Ritsu that Madara spends a lot of time over at this house. In Breakthrough! The Revolutionary Live Which Heralds the Dawn, it was revealed that Madara learned most of his manipulation tactics from Rei. 
:In Aquarium, Madara answers Rei's sudden summons to the Light Music Room very cheerfully, saying that he'd help Rei with anything he'd ask, from 'demolishing a building, arranging a passport, smuggling, or even murder'. Rei just wanted to give him a ticket to Shinkai Kanata's aquarium. 
:Rei appears to serve as a mentor figure to Madara, as Madara reveals in Walking in Darkness that Rei is always taking taking care of him and gives off an air of wanting him to consult with him if he needs anything. However, Madara ignores this as he doesn’t want to trouble those important to him, and he knows that if Rei gets involved his problems would be solved.
:In Learning from the Past, Madara is still helping Rei with jobs, and they frequently involve flying around the world. Madara mentions 'wanting to repay Rei for all he had done for me while still in school', which might include letting Madara stay with him and Ritsu when he was disowned by his family. Madara also helped with preparing the stage for the UNDEAD / Akatsuki live, and Rei invited him to perform on stage with them, concerned that he should perform as an idol too, whether as Double Face or MaM. 
===Kaoru Hakaze===
:Kaoru and Madara are friends that have appeared together in several event stories. Unlike most other characters, Kaoru doesn’t seem to be too bothered Madara’s otherwise off-putting enthusiasm. They both have a deep caring for Kanata Shinkai, which results in Madara putting his expectations for Kaoru to take care of Kanata on him in Aquarium. 
:Kaoru and Madara are shown getting along well in Billiards, seemingly solidifying a friendship between them.
===Koga Oogami===
: 
===Adonis Otogari===
:Adonis is a member of the Track and Field club, and refers to Madara as “Captain”. Madara once gave him an ocarina to summon him with, stating that if it was used he would come running Purple Wisterias of May. Though Adonis is shown to not always approve of Madara’s antics, he says he believes Madara isn't a bad person.
: In Stars!!, Adonis and Madara are still close, with Adonis still calling him "Captain" sometimes, even though Madara has already graduated. They are in the same tea appreciation circle Kaori (or Fragrance). 
:In Learning from the Past, he shows concern when Madara played the part of a backstage helper to AKATSUKI and UNDEAD, telling him he should do things for himself as an idol more. 
===Tomoya Mashiro===
===Nazuna Nito===
===Mitsuru Tenma===
===Hajime Shino===
===Keito Hasumi===
: Keito and Madara are classmates in 3A. They are at odds with each other, because Keito was part of the Student Council and the leader of Akatsuki, Yumenosaki's 2nd ranked unit after fine, that worked with Eichi to carry out the subjugation of the Five Oddballs. Akatsuki was the unit that performed in Battle versus the Sea God to crush Kanata Shinkai in Meteor Impact. Madara was in Rio de Janeiro at the time due to the Tenshouin Zaibatsu's interference, and unable to come to Kanata's aid in time.
:In Concerto, we learn that Keito was the Student Council member who officially recognised MaM as a solo unit within Yumenosaki. He did this without Eichi's approval to keep Madara from being involved in the subjugation of the Five Oddballs, and because he owed Madara a favour. Keito views Madara as 'a natural disaster' and cautioned Eichi from trying to take Madara down using his weaknesses, saying Madara should be left alone. 
:In Shinsengumi, Keito is wary of working with Madara over Restoration Live and wants to avoid being in debt to him. Madara appears to cooperate cheerfully, but he revealed to Kuro that that he was disgusted that Eichi and Keito were still in power in Yumenosaki after their defeat to Trickstar, so he wanted to use the event to discredit and disband Akatsuki. Madara did not go all the way through with his plan because of his relationship with Kuro and Anzu, and the event was a smashing success for all. He did manage to make Keito freak out by making him think that he was going to steal / alienate Kuro away from Akatsuki though.
: In Walking in Darkness, Madara said he didn't want to join the agency Rhythm Link because he didn't want to have conflict with Keito. 
:In Learning from the Past, Keito is mildly alarmed when Madara and Kuro are friendly with each other, and warns Madara off from trying to steal Kuro away. He also asked Madara if he intended to use the unit Double Face 'as a means to gather troops into an army to bring ruin to ES', showing his distrust of Madara. 
===Kuro Kiryu===
:Kuro is a reluctant friend of Madara’s, and they have a friendly rivalry.Shinsengumi They are shown to have prickly interactions, but are comfortable speaking with one another to the point where Madara shamelessly confesses his plot to manipulate Anzu in order to get closer to Trickstar. Kuro doesn’t approve of Madara’s antics, but keeps the secret regardless.
:Kuro and Madara seemingly have a better friendship in Enstars!!, as they are shown speaking casually with little aggression toward one another in Learning from the Past／Succession Match. Keito says that it seems that they’ve gotten close, which Kuro denies, but later in the same chapter, Kuro states that Madara seems livelier as “Double Face”.
:Kuro mentions picking up on some of Madara's behaviors in Nazuna's idol story after Nazuna points it out to him.
:Madara's third idol story has Kuro cheer Madara up after he admits to feeling glum about his current work situation. Madara offered to share his meal with Kuro after seeing how little Kuro was eating, then offered to share his custom-made protein formula when Kuro revealed he was trying to maintain his body weight.
:
:In Madara’s Feature Scout story, Kuro persuaded Anzu to think twice about dressing Madara up in a fundoshi (Japanese male undergarment) for his FS outfit (she designed something else, in the end). Kuro was the one who tailored Madara’s Feature Scout outfit after Anzu designed it.
:In the Kuro's Idol Story "As An Older Brother" Kuro and Madara are revealed to have spent their vacation training at a dojo together before going to pick up a present for Kuro's little sister, who he is unable to see as frequently due to living in the dorms. It's in this idol story that Madara reveals to Kuro that he has a little sister as well, though Kuro is largely unaware of Madara's family situation overall.
===Souma Kanzaki===
:Souma is a reluctant friend of Madara’s who is notably off-put by his actions, as seen in Purple Wisterias of May due to his reputation as the slasher.
:In Shinsengumi, he chides Madara for kidnapping Anzu, saying that working with Madara was a valuable learning experience, but Madara's methods cause too much ruckus. 
:While still finding Madara’s shadiness off-putting, they seem to have a far better relationship as of Walking in Darkness, with Souma coming to Madara's rescue when he thought Madara was being kidnapped by Oukawa Kohaku. In the Epilogue, Souma is shown to be supportive of Madara’s mission to protect those he cares about, but internally warns him to not be reckless due to that previously causing him to lose his footing as an idol. He also internally declares that he will back Madara up.
:Souma knows about the circumstances of Madara being disowned by his family as well as his mission to dismantle and rebuild the Shinkai religion, which implies that either Kanata Shinkai had told him about it, or he and Madara had an off-screen discussion.

===Izumi Sena===
===Ritsu Sakuma===
===Arashi Narukami===
===Natsume Sakasaki===
: 
:As both are affiliated with NEW DIMENSION, Natsume and Madara appear to have a budding, but subtle friendship between them, as Natsume is shown being almost uncharacteristically kind to Madara in areas where others would find him irritating, with this dynamic being in stark contrast to how coldly he's appears to treat Leo.
===Tsumugi Aoba===
: Tsumugi worked with Madara in Shinsengumi, and Madara doesn't seem to hate him even though he used to be in fine and is part of the Student Council with Eichi and Keito. 
:Madara explains in Walking in Darkness that part of the reason he'd joined NEW DIMENSION is due to Tsumugi being a good friend of his. Their interactions reflect a friendship between them, and Madara is stated to help Tsumugi with office work as in King of Thieves.
:In Next Door, Tsumugi revealed that Madara's involvement in Double Face has helped the agency financially, such that they managed to stay out of the red. He also mentioned that he wished more of the agency's idols would be 'more involved in the political side of things, like ... Mikejima-kun'.
===Sora Harukawa===
:Sora and Madara worked together in the unit Ba-barrier alongside Kagehira Mika and Akiomi Kunugi. Sora and Madara's relationship is amicable; Sora refers to Madara as "Giant-san" (Mr. Giant) and seems to enjoy being picked up by Madara, though Madara is surprised when Sora escapes with ease Rainbow - Chapter 27. At the time of the live, Sora is struggling with disorientation due to his synesthesia, and Madara is shown to invite Sora to rely on him. Sora responds by calling Madara "dependable" Rainbow - Chapter 45.
:In Steampunk Museum, Madara used Sora to persuade Itsuki Shu to take on a museum job. At the museum event, Madara gave Sora a piggyback ride when he was almost swept away by the crowd.
:They're both affiliated with NEW DIMENSION. While their exact relationship dynamic is up in the air, Madara explains in his third idol story that Sora is his roommate along with Subaru Akehoshi and Wataru Hibiki. He describes their dorm room to be lively and full of laughter and surprises.

===Akiomi Kunugi===
:Madara is a problem child who 'has probably broken about every school rule there is' and as the teacher-in-charge of student guidance, Akiomi is understandably concerned about keeping him out of trouble.Rainbow - Chapter 28 He is also concerned about Madara's lone wolf status as a solo idol, knowing that idols cannot exist alone in this era. He recruited (read: forced) Madara to be part of the temporary unit Ba-Barrier to broaden his perspective and experience what working in a unit would be like, incentivizing it by offering to be lenient with Madara's "misbehaviors". Madara disliked the manipulation and the loss of his free will, and teased his teacher about the arrangement, likening it to a backroom deal or something that the mafia does. In the end, he accepted the deal for the experience (and because Akiomi did not offer a choice).
:During the performance, Madara was guilting himself for not noticing his less experienced teammates were in trouble and thinking how unsuited he was to teamwork. Akiomi praised him for supporting and showing concern to Mika and Sora in their difficulties. He asked Madara if being in a unit was interesting, and Madara responded with mixed feelings.
:In a conversation with Jin later about his 'despotic' behaviour in creating Ba-Barrier, Akiomi admitted that it was his job to help his students learn even if he had to play the bad guy.
: During The Tale of Antiques - Artists and Assassins 6, Akiomi told Anzu that he still considered Madara an inexperienced child who needed to be protected. He disapproved of inexperienced children trying to pretend to be adults, believing it won't go well. He also repeated the idea that his job as a teacher was to help his students learn and grow, even if they feared or hated him.
:In As an Elder, after Madara made the decision to carry out Double Face activities alone without Kohaku or Anzu's assistance in The Tale of Antiques, he reached out to Akiomi over coffee, requesting for help finding solo work as an idol or a helper. Akiomi agreed, guessing that there were reasons why Madara approached him, not Anzu, for help. They had a minor dispute over paying for coffee and Akiomi won, telling Madara that it was his right and responsibility as an elder to look after the younger ones. Before leaving, he again reminded Madara that while he might prefer working alone, people could not live alone. He also told Madara he had the right to ask for help if he ever needed it.
