Taiki Himekawa/Relationships

## Family

### Seijuurou Uehara

Taiki does not remember much about his father, since he was still young at the time of his father's death. However, the fact that he operates under his mother's surname implies that he holds him in contempt, not wanting to be associated with a murderer. His opinion of him seems to have only fallen lower upon learning that he has a half-brother, believing that his father cheated on his mother. What Taiki does not realize, however, is that it was actually the other way around: his mother cheated on his father, which is what prompted him to kill them both.

It is not until he is hired to act in the 15 Year Lie that Taiki finally learns why his father killed himself and his mother. Also, the fact that he agreed to play his father in the movie implies that he sees him in a new light now.

### Hikaru Kamiki

Taiki's relationship with Hikaru is basically non-existent as he remains unaware that he is an illegitimate child born when his mother allegedly molested the latter whilst he was only 11 years old.

Later, Taiki finally learns the truth regarding his origins when he is hired to act in the 15 Year Lie, which autobiographies his mother's crimes.

### Airi Himekawa

Taiki does not remember much about his mother, since he was still young at the time of her death. However, the fact that he operates under her family name (**Himekawa**) implies that he prefers her over his murderous legal father. On the other hand, he seems to be unaware that his mother was a presumed child molester who conceived him when cheating on her husband with an 11-year-old boy.

Taiki finally learns the truth regarding his mother when he is hired to act in the 15 Year Lie, which autobiographies her crimes. Still, he states that he does not care, claiming that she was responsible for her own actions.

### Aqua Hoshino

Aqua is Taiki's younger half-brother. He first met him during the rehearsals for the *Tokyo Blade* stage play, where they had several interactions. Taiki has also chastized Aqua over his love triangle with Akane Kurokawa and Kana Arima, telling him to just make a choice already.

However, they did not seriously start interacting until Aqua discovered through DNA analysis that he and Taiki have the same biological father. Upon showing him proof of their blood connection, Aqua coerced Taiki to tell him everything he knew about their father. However, since Taiki did not know that he was the product of an affair, he ended up setting Aqua on a false lead by revealing that his father, Seijuurou Uehara, was already deceased.

### Ruby Hoshino

When Taiki learned that Aqua Hoshino was his half-brother, he likely realized that Ruby was his half-sister. However, so far, the two have not interacted.

## Lala Lai Theatrical Company

### Toshirou Kindaichi

Toshirou is some what of a father figure to Taiki as he was the one who had looked after him following his the death of his parents.

## Others

Taiki met Kana when they were working on the play for Tokyo Blade, he seems to respect her asking her for Advice on reading Kanji as he cannot, he told her not to hold back when they act together and he has asked her out for meals during filming breaks. He has also shown disapproval of Kana as shown when he scolded her for her constant bullying of Akane Kurokawa, he told her that if he knew that she would have used the book of Akane's career as ammunition he never would have lent it to her.
