Lily Hoshikawa/Relationships

## Franchouchou

### Sakura Minamoto (Zombie #1)

Sakura and Lily are in a good relationship as Sakura treats her like a younger sister figure, and despite the few interactions seen in the series, both are quite close.

In the eighth episode, Sakura discovers Lily's past and the cause of her death, being surprised by the revelation of Lily's name, but with the other girls, they decide to accept her just as she is. Later that night, Sakura finds Lily sitting alone, and the young zombie bursts into tears in her arms, realizing that she and her father still love each other. After confronting Kotaro about it, they all help Lily write a song for her father after clearing up her misunderstanding with the big man.

Lily was possibly the most distressed by how Sakura does not remember what they have been through together. That night, she exclaims how she wanted to go stargazing since she couldn't sleep. She walks over to where Sakura was and tries to have a one-on-one chat with Sakura, reminding Sakura that she was the one who told her that her star was cute and that she had a smile that could light up a room. Sakura yells at her, scaring Lily and making her cry.

In the twelfth episode, Lily and the rest of Franchouchou gather around Sakura and snuggle together as everyone falls asleep, showing Sakura that she has her full support.

Sakura is the one who supports Lily the most during episode 5 of Revenge after hearing Light's arrogance behind the scenes. With the support of Sakura, Lily was able to know who she was facing and be better prepared for the contest.

### Saki Nikaido (Zombie #2)

Saki calls her “Chinchiku” (translated as “shrimpy”) or “Squirt” (in the English dub), which is initially teasing and annoying for Lily, but eventually turns into a funny nickname. She even accidentally calls her that during a performance, but Lily is unfazed by her, but despite this, she shows a lot of affection for Lily and treats her like the younger sister of the group. Saki laughs uncontrollably at how she died of a heart attack upon seeing her first facial hair and at her birth name; Masao, the kanji that literally translates to “Righteous Man”, which Saki laughs sick at for being so cartoonishly manly, which made Lily upset and say she hated her. After confronting Kotaro, she accepts who she is. Shortly after in the episode, she realizes how bad Lily's father must be having, and along with the other girls decide to write him a song. Saki, although she teases her whenever she can, is very fond of her and supports her when she enters the talent show, even crying over her performance as Rakugo.

With Saki. The two intersect endlessly. Saki gives Lily all sorts of degrading nicknames based on her height and age and makes fun of her absurdly masculine dead name of her. Lily often teases Saki's excessive enthusiasm and gruff behavior, and she is usually the first to get angry whenever Saki screams in excitement. Everything is mostly harmless, though, and the two clearly maintain a strong friendship despite everything.

### Ai Mizuno (Zombie #3)

Since she is still a child. She will cry easily if she feels threatened or hurt by others. Ai makes her cry while she is heated by her fight with Junko, saying that she is not in Franchouchou to make friends, hurting Lily a lot. Episodes later, Ai dropped that toxic thought and helped Lily with her song, “To My Dearest”.

### Junko Konno (Zombie #4)

In Episode 7, Lily argues that they better do Saga Rock even if Junko doesn't come back, explaining that the event is their big chance. Even if they try to get Junko back into the group, Lily knows that won't bring her back. Yugiri shows how mature her reasoning is for Lily.

Junko showed surprise at the revelation of Lily's name during episode 8 and blushed when Saki said to accept Lily as she is into Franchouchou.

### Yugiri (Zombie #5)

Although they are exactly the opposite, they both look like mother and daughter. In episode 4 she accompanies Yugiri for a walk around Ureshino and gives her knowledge of the modern world. They are quite close and Lily always tends to accompany Yugiri wherever they go. This relationship may be because Lily, by losing her mother figure at an early age, is trying to fill that gap with Yugiri, who is the most motherly of the group.

They mutually accompany each other to any place or sit together to share the things they like. Lily likes to talk about her mother with Yugiri, and Yugiri mentions that she is always thinking of that person that she met in the past who will always be watching over them.

### Tae Yamada (Zombie #0)

Although she is indifferent to Tae, as seen in episode 2, she treats her like her pet and even like a dog on several occasions, as seen in episode 10 when she plays with her. However, Tae likes to take Lily's squid and lie about her not doing it. Their relationship is shown in jokes when Tae jumps on Lily's head to steal the squid from her in various scenes in Revenge.

## Others

### Kotaro Tatsumi

Maintaining her age, Lily is prone to saying exactly what she has in mind without thinking it through or, sometimes, simply not caring. For example, when Kotaro reveals Franchouchou's shirts that she must wear for the Gatalympics, she immediately and cheerfully declares that they are the ugliest shirts she has ever seen without any concern for Kotaro saying this.

Although she is still a child, Kotaro annoys her like the others in the group, this was seen in episode 8 when she annoys her for a previous trip that the girls made off camera. Of course, he knew that Lily was Masao. When Sakura and her friends asked him about that fact, he simply said that “Lily is Lily”. His diary (synopsis of episode 8 of the official site). He seems like he was internally concerned about whether Lily would be accepted by the girls, for example, describing that as a “significant fact”.

When he is confronted a second time, but this time to make a song for Lily, he agrees and writes her a song and even lets Lily make her speech to her father in the third person.

During “episode 5” of the second season, Lily steals the spotlight from Kotaro in his morning performance which makes Kotaro depressed and accepts the plan of the day of what Lily plans to do, which is to enter a talent show and make Franchouchou better-known thanks to her acting skills.

### Light Oozora

Light and Lily meet during the talent show that will lead their winners to the Tokyo final, despite Light's arrogance. Lily tries to see the bright side of life and even give advice to him bitter opponent, without much success, since Light is determined to win without caring at all about Lily.

During the talent show finale, Lily is forced to change her song routine at the last second after Light reveals that he is going to sing the same song as her. She sings the same song but makes her performance much more child-oriented, being simple, repetitive, and poppy, which delights the children who watch her. This contrasts nicely with Light's more adult-oriented performance. Towards the end of the episode, her performance is shown to have become an instant hit on the Web and is especially popular with children.

## Family

### Takeo Go

Lily and Takeo loved each other and tried to live without Sachika, who died shortly after Lily's birth. Lily and Takeo loved watching TV shows and enjoying each other's favorite shows during the day. One day, Lily decided to become a television star to make her father happy about her being on TV, unfortunately, Takeo became too strict as a manager which began to cause her relationship to weaken quickly.

The last time Lily and Takeo saw each other, they got into a big fight that ended with Lily dying of a heart attack. Years later, when the two speak to each other again (although Lily hides her identity), Takeo admits that he feels really horrible about the way he treated Lily and regrets that he cannot reconcile with her. Later that night, Sakura finds Lily sitting alone, and the young zombie bursts into tears in her arms, realizing that she and her father still love each other. While she died of a heart attack after discovering an unwanted outburst of male puberty, it also didn't help that the stresses of her acting career had been taking its toll on her very young body, with her father/manager Takeo not realizing that her health deteriorated until it was too late.

When Takeo met Franchouchou, who had gained popularity in Saga Rock, he finds number 6 who looks exactly like his daughter. Due to an incident, he decided not to return to the girls' live shows, but after seeing the ticket delivered at the office, he went to the live show. Then, hearing the song of number 6, he shed tears and regained the energy to live. Subsequently, he can watch TV. His presence reminded other girls that “some people can be saddened by their deaths.”
