===Shu Itsuki===
:Shu and Mika's first meeting was in childhood. In elementary school, Shu and Kuro occasionally skipped lessons and hopped on the train.Nocturne - Epilogue 2 In one of their trips, they ended up in the same prefecture where Mika lived. There, Shu met Mika, who had run away from the orphanage.Magical Halloween - Epilogue While Mika cherishes this memory, Shu has forgotten about most of it. After seeing Shu on TV, Mika decided to come to Yumenosaki to see him again.Human Comedy - Epilogue 2
:Shu often calls him a "failure," with his demeanor being usually harsh towards Mika, often telling him to keep quiet or commenting on his simple intelligence. As Shu considered obtaining perfection for others as an act of affection, he had only regarded Mika for his "good looks," and only allowed him to dance during their Live performances prior to Valkyrie's downfall.
:Despite all of this, Shu has expressed care and concern for Mika through Mademoiselle and his conversations to others. This is apparent in WANTED!!!, where he asked Kaoru if he could take the stuffed toy prize from the crane game so he could gift it to Mika. As Mika comes from the Kansai region, Shu allowed Mika to reside at his home and are presently living together. Mika took care of Shu after Valkyrie's downfall which Shu later thanks him for, stating that his dedication is what helped him recover.
:Mika is very loyal towards Shu and Valkyrie, often working school jobs in order to keep Valkyrie stable. Due to Valkyrie's deteriorating condition, Shu has occasionally given him opportunities to leave Valkyrie, as staying would not give him any benefit. Despite this, Mika insists on staying together as Valkyrie. In Reminiscence ＊ Marionette, Arashi considered this to be a "type of love."
:Shu begins to be more considerate to Mika in the latter half of the year, as Mika will inherit Valkyrie's name after Shu graduates. He allows Mika to help make their costumes and to have a more prominent role on stage. As Mademoiselle begins speaking less in the fall, Shu pays more attention to Mika and fusses over him. In Human Comedy, Shu takes measures to make Mika realize that he is a proper "human" and not just a "doll".
: Although they had lived together for two years, they still have trouble communicating with one another, often talking past each other and lacking understanding. As per Shu's wish, Mika is trying to "become human". However, he still does not fully understand why Shu wishes this, since Mika himself doesn't view becoming human as his "ultimate goal".Human Comedy - Tragedy 5
:Mika and Shu's relationship has transformed quite a bit since the year before. Mika is still adjusting to Shu's more carefree personality, often feeling uncomfortable when Shu doesn't refute things he says.Neverland - Return to Neverland 2 With Shu out of the country so often, Mika often feels lost without him, and greatly anticipates when he returns to Japan and is able to see him again.
:When visiting Japan for the first time, he stays over at Mika's apartment for the trip. However, towards the end of the trip, Shu cancels Mika's apartment lease and moves him to the Seisoukan Apartments out of concern for his health.Neverland - The Lost Boys Fly In The Sky 1
: They currently consider each other "partners" and aim to become equals in Valkyrie, life and in art.

===Rinne Amagi===
: Mika is wary of Rinne, who likes to mess with him. He would prefer to ignore Rinne if possible.Illusory Noctilucence - Seisoukan Apartments ☆ Test of Courage Night 5 Rinne teases Mika about missing Shu, telling him that if he’s lonely Mika should have fun with him instead. He teases Mika verbally as well as physically, which Mika does not like.Shu Itsuki Birthday Party 2022 - Wishes from ES Idols
===HiMERU===
:HiMERU has a rocky relationship with Mika, stemming from their respective positions in the !! Main Story. Valkyrie had gotten information on HiMERU through Ibara and threatened to release it to the public should Crazy:B attack Valkyrie. They also used the former HiMERU's fragile state against him, with Shu explicitly saying he could crush him.
:After the chaos subsides, there has been no follow-up on the incident from either party, and Mika and HiMERU actually become properly acquainted after Mika fixes a loose thread on HiMERU's sleeve.A Pursuit Scene in Plain Sight Both state that they'd like to get along with each other from thereon.
===Kohaku Oukawa===
: Both Crazy:B and Valkyrie are from CosPro, so Mika considers himself Kohaku's senior and acts like a big brother to him. They also speak in the same Kansai dialect, so Mika feels an affinity towards Kohaku.
:In The Tale of Antiques, when investigating Valkyrie's questionable finances as part of Double Face, Kohaku removed Mika from Valkyrie's stage on the pretext of wanting to touch up his makeup, leading to Shu's crushing defeat at Madara's hands. Despite this horrible treatment, Mika remained friendly to Kohaku, calling out to him and spending time with him in the antique market later, directing Kohaku's fans to him for autographs and treating him to refreshments. This perplexed Kohaku, who expected that Mika would bear a grudge against him, but Mika assured him that they had dealt with worse during Yumenosaki's era and so, was no reason to treat Kohaku with anger.

===Nazuna Nito===
:Formerly a member of the same unit, Valkyrie. Mika looked up to him as a brother when he was a first year, and still calls him "Nazuna-nii" as a second year. The two shared a close brotherly relationship and Mika admired him for his skill, while Nazuna empathized with Mika's earnest efforts. In his second year, Nazuna left Valkyrie to join Ra*bits, and Nazuna asked Mika to come with him and become human. Mika rejects this, and had started to treat him bitterly, seeing him as a traitor.
:
:However, though he didn't want to admit it, Mika still thought of Nazuna as his real older brother and missed him. In Frozen Ice, Nazuna rushes to buy fruit and snacks and worried over Mika in the nurse's office after learning he had collapsed. Mika rejects Nazuna's consideration, insisting that he was a traitor to Valkyrie. However, after Nazuna guiltily apologizes about being a busybody and leaves shortly after, Mika calls him back out of instinct, but tapers off. He often tries to show a hostile and standoffish front to Nazuna, but relaxes around him or talks to him unintentionally without realizing it, like when they met on the train in Human Comedy. After Kuro goes to Nazuna for help about Valkyrie's situation in Human Comedy, Nazuna is angered at Shu telling Mika to go back to his hometown, telling him that he'd beat down anyone who hurt him, be it God or Eichi. 
:In Repayment Festival, the two apologize to each other before Ra*bits and Valkyrie goes onstage to clear the issue about Nazuna still being a part of Valkyrie technically. Nazuna expresses that he would understand if Mika hated him for the rest of his life, and that he shouldn't be apologizing. In the ending of Reminiscence * Marionette, after Nazuna wished for Valkyrie's happiness, Mika expresses that it's regrettable that he can't see Nazuna's human smile from closer, but that they would also work hard to smile like humans.
==== Enstars!! ====
In the Enstars!! era, Nazuna and Mika seem to share a more casual relationship, having met in the Main Story and going out to a meal together with the rest of Ra*bits and ALKALOID. However, Mika still seems to have his old habit of trying to come off as meaner to Nazuna, and then regretting it soon after and apologizing. They are also seen giving each other gifts on their birthday.

===Arashi Narukami===
:Being friends since their first year, the two are extremely close. They're both members of Class 2-B. It is noted that Mika was a bit scared of Arashi when they first met due to her being more manly while Mika was used to an all-female environment as a child; Arashi wants to forget ever being like that.Reminiscence ＊ Marionette - Girls Talk 1 Mika is more comfortable around girls than guys, so he and Arashi get along well in more recent times.

:In Cheval Live, Knights and Valkyrie are performing together, and during the performance Mika apologizes to Arashi, because he feels like he ruined her summer by making them do a promotional performance, instead of helping her make summer memories. She tells him that that's not true, because seeing Mika try so hard for her makes her happy, and that being able to perform with him is the most wonderful memory that she could hope to make. She says that they should dance together and so she starts to cling to him, and he worries that she's going to get sweaty from being so close to him, but she says it's okay because Mika is her best friend. Mika gets excited to hear this and calls out to everyone, showing off that Arashi is his most wonderful friend in the world. She thinks to herself that she thinks the same thing, and that she loves Mika. During Requiem, Mika comes up to Arashi and expresses to her how thankful he is for her, and asks her if they could be friends forever and ever. This makes her extremely happy to hear, and she states that if they weren't friends, she totally would have fallen for him.
: Arashi is extremely happy that she gets to live under the same roof as Mika, due to the dorm system. She is glad that she is able to check up on him easily now and make sure that he's doing alright.Mika Kagehira/Idol Story She comes over to his dorm and has girls nights with Mika and Ritsu.Ritsu Sakuma/Idol Story
