Samatoki respects Jyuto as both his teammate and his friend and is ready to help him out or fight alongside with him.
### Rio Mason Busujima

Despite being hostile towards each other on their first meeting, Samatoki and Rio became friends after he joined MAD TRIGGER CREW.

### Sasara Nurude

Back in the day, Samatoki and Sasara were best friends and even formed Mad Comic Dialogue together to fight for territory in Ikebukuro.

After Sasara turned against him and left the team, Samatoki was devastated at the loss of a close friend.
### Ichiro Yamada

During the turf wars in Ikebukuro, Ichiro's determination and rap skills immediately caught Samatoki's eye. After the confrontation between Mad Comic Dialogue and Naughty Busters, and them joining forces against the Stairway to Heaven, Samatoki and Ichiro became friends. Samatoki become somewhat of a brother figure for Ichiro, while Samatoki could rely on him as his partner.
However, after The Dirty Dawg disbanded, their friendship turned into mutual hatred. While Ichiro couldn't follow his ideals, Samatoki was under the impression that Ichiro was a hypocrite and influenced Nemu to turn against him. Samatoki is obssessed with taking Ichiro down and is easily enraged even by a brief mention of him. Despite claiming that he doesn't recognize Ichiro's skills, Samatoki never underestimates him.
### Ramuda Amemura

He is Samatoki's former teammate from The Dirty Dawg. Samatoki is usually irritated by Ramuda's behavior towards him, as Ramuda enjoys playing around with him, although Samatoki still considered him a friend. However, after Ramuda revealed that he brainwashed his sister into joining the Party of Words, Samatoki was furious and attacked Ramuda before he managed to run away.
### Jakurai Jinguji

He is Samatoki's former teammate from The Dirty Dawg. Samatoki and Jakurai mutually respect each other even after their crew disbanded, and Samatoki surprisingly behaves relatively polite around him.
### Nemu Aohitsugi

Nemu is Samatoki's younger sister. She is his only family, and he has spent a majority of his life with her after the loss of his father and his mother's suicide. Samatoki still wears the charm bracelet that Nemu made for him when they were younger. He loves and cherishes Nemu more than anything in the world, and his rap ability becomes insanely powerful whenever the battle is related to Nemu and her protection. His care for Nemu extends greatly, as enemies would kidnap or threaten Nemu to affect Samatoki. Nemu has expressed her dislike towards Samatoki’s impulsive aggression and used to accompany him to make sure he wouldn’t cause unnecessary conflict.
Samatoki would frequently cook grand feasts for Nemu and always showed his soft side towards her, only lightly teasing her and refraining from showing her his aggression. Samatoki would be made fun of for always listening to Nemu, contrast to his regular stubborn behavior. According to Nemu and commented on by Sasara, Samatoki can be overprotective at times when it comes to her. Samatoki finds an older brother’s role to be the most important and is absolutely determined to protect Nemu no matter what, going through drastic lengths to protect and defend her.
When the Party of Words brainwashed Nemu and made her a member, she was made to turn against Samatoki, and with this he was heartbroken and devastated but refused to give up to despair. Samatoki went around and beat up random gangsters to cope with his stress, and his apartment was shown to be a mess as he became an alcoholic and smoker after her departure. Despite Nemu's attempt to arrest him and everything she said about him, Samatoki is still determined to get his sister back no matter what. Samatoki’s words even break Nemu from her mind hacking,
