Hifumi Izanami/Relationships

===Jakurai Jinguji===
Hifumi first met Jakurai through Doppo Kannonzaka, who was looking to Jakurai for help with Hifumi's stalker. After dealing with the situation, Jakurai comes to the conclusion that both Hifumi and Doppo are very interesting people, asking them to form a group with him. The three formed the group Matenro.
Hifumi and Jakurai often go fishing together when they both have free time. Because of Hifumi's ability to read people well, he is good at understanding when something is bothering Jakurai, usually leading to him asking rather invasive questions. Though Hifumi has trouble with knowing boundaries with his questioning, Jakurai doesn't seem to mind, often opening up to him and Doppo anyway. The two have gotten quite close, and Hifumi is quick to defend Jakurai in most situations. Hifumi thinks of Jakurai as an extremely respectable and great guy who is capable doing just about anything, even considering him like a superhero of sorts.

===Doppo Kannonzaka===
Hifumi and Doppo met each other when they were children and have been best friends ever since. The two went through school together and currently share an apartment. They, along with Jakurai Jinguji, form the group Matenro. 
When he was 22 years old, Hifumi was in rough condition. He was severely depressed, and Doppo was often supporting him. Since Hifumi was struggling to find work, Doppo offered him a job to work with him. They worked together for a a few months, until Doppo got fed up with their boss mistreating Hifumi, punching him in the face and quitting for the both of them. Doppo losing his job made Hifumi realize something had to change, developing host mode and getting his current job as a host. Shortly after, he shows up to Doppo's apartment, asking him to move in together. Doppo agrees, and the two swear that one day they'll each be successful enough to support one another. The two have been living together ever since. 
Now, Hifumi tends to do the housework for Doppo, even cleaning his room or sewing his clothes when they tear. Hifumi often comments on how Doppo's room seems to always get messy even if he's just recently cleaned it. Due to their conflicting schedules and Doppo's tendency to try to sleep as much as he can, the two can go days without getting to eat dinner together. In this case, Hifumi has been shown to sometimes still cook and leave dinner out for Doppo to eat when he gets home. The two get excited when they do get to eat together, often treating it as a special occasion. Hifumi seems to only truly be himself and at peace when he's home, either alone or with Doppo. 
Sometimes, Hifumi will show up to Doppo's job to help him with work. If he does this in host mode, it can cause problems for Doppo, since he starts flirting with all of Doppo's female coworkers. Otherwise when in host mode, Hifumi will often ask Doppo to go out and drink with him. Despite usually initially protesting, Hifumi almost always manages to convince Doppo to go with him. 
Hifumi tends to poke fun at Doppo, frequently teasing him over just about anything. Truthfully, though, Hifumi sees Doppo as a strong, hard-working and respectable guy, admiring him a lot. Because of everything they've been through together, both Hifumi and Doppo are extremely protective of one another and their relationship, willing to do just about anything for each other. If anyone insults one of them, the other is quick to jump in, be it verbally or physically.

===Honobono Keitoin===

The trauma Honobono put Hifumi through is heavily referenced to be a form of sexual abuse, leading to his phobia of women. Hifumi has stated that though he doesn't want to forgive her, he wants to be able to have a conversation with her to be able to understand her and her actions better, while Honobono does not want to be understood by anyone at all.

===Gentaro Yumeno===
Hifumi met Gentaro for the first time in front of the Chuohku gates for the 1st D.R.B. Though they hadn't interacted at that time, in Just A Friend they stumbled upon eachother when Hifumi and Doppo were being chased by a group of fangirls, leading to the four having to run and hide from them. After taking off his jacket, Hifumi commented on Gentaro's outfit, claiming he looked like an "old-fashioned schoolboy", not knowing this would cause Gentaro to get very mad and sparking a fight between the four. For now, their relationship status is still unclear: it's not known if they still consider eachother rivals or not, but Gentaro seems to really dislike Hifumi.
===Rio Mason Busujima===
Upon meeting each other in front of the Chuohku gates, Rio offered Hifumi a lavender drink, however, the drink caused Hifumi nausea. The two were also opponents in the last battle of the 1st D.R.B. They were also part of the same shuffle divison in Mixed Up.
===Saburo Yamada===

===Kuko Harai===
In Chaser from the Past, Kuko barged into Fragrance in order to challenge Hifumi, as he would be his future opponent in the 2nd Division Rap Battle. Their fight was cut short due to Jyushi fearing they could get arrested. Hifumi was impressed by Kuko's rap skills. They eventually face eachother in the second Division Rap Battle.
===Jyushi Aimono===
Jyushi was dragged by Kuko to Shinjuku to challenge the members of Matenro, and he followed along despite objecting.
