Nikko was never informed of Syo's plans to create and modify an android. They barely interact unless Q has deemed Nii-chan suitable enough to answer questions that he has. He also poses as a mouthpiece for Syo and Nii-chan is glad that Syo has company. Nikko also appreciates Q's awareness of social situations and where Rider is at any given time.
Kenji is one of the only people in the gang that prefers Rider to Q, as Q is very intellectual and often sees through Kenji's farces.
Rider is absolutely obsessed with Sprocket, as she is technically his mother. Initially, when he was made, he wanted to spend every waking moment with her, much to the detriment of Sprocket's marriage. But after imprinting on Takeshi, he only really talks to Sprocket when she needs help or he when he finds something useful in the scrapyard.
When Sigma first encountered Trance, he immediately offered to reverse the brainwashing that had been coded into Trance's software out of concern that the other android would be sent for decommissioning. Sigma often uses Trance as a "test dummy" for software updates, and it is Sigma's job to keep them both up to date.
Sigma's primary job is to assist Trance in reversing the octoling brainwashing that occurred to his systems. He also helps Trance assimilate into inkling society and gives him the opportunity to explore his interest in music in a more productive and safe way. Trance quite likes Sigma, and the two often get scolded by Maddox for talking in robot around everyone else. Hardware and firmware wise, the two androids are completely identical.
Melancholy is completely infatuated by Izanami, to the point where it severely impacts how Melancholy functions when Izanami is around. She would do absolutely anything that Izanami would tell her to - which includes and is not limited to murder and other various criminal acts. She gets extremely jealous when anyone interacts with Izanami.
Though Izanami finds Melancholy's obsession with her absolutely pathetic, Izanami uses Melancholy's complacency to her advantage. She often manipulates the other inkling into doing her dirty work and uses her as a scapegoat when things go wrong.
Nikko loves Knox and always has time for the octoling's antics. He is thankful that Makoto had a friend like Knox growing up. Nikko regularly eats at Knox's family's restaurant, and is known as a regular there.
Knox thinks that Nii-chan is very cool, and appreciates that Nii-chan has a higher tolerance for his nonsense relative to most other people.
Oriza really enjoys Makoto's company. Makoto is the first person Oriza searches for when he goes out to a party and will always make time for Makoto if he needs his hair done or needs to vent about his recent breakup.
Makoto and Oriza are practically best friends. They party together, and Makoto is one of Oriza's regular clients at the hair salon. He asks Oriza for relationship advice and constantly laments over how unfair it is that Oriza is so gorgeous and single.
After being in the same friend group since they were teenagers, Hawkes is horrified to find out that Remy had a crush on him for years. When he finally realised his interest in her, he was disappointed to find out Remy had gotten engaged with her then fiancé. They are still good friends and Hawkes answers to Remy as she is the manager for their upcoming album.
When they were teenagers, Remy had a massive crush on Hawkes but was too afraid to pursue anything after her subtle hints went unnoticed. Eventually, over time these feelings went away - especially after Remy started seeing Dimitri, and she happily confirmed the rumour that she used to have feelings for Hawkes. Sometimes she finds it a little awkward interacting with Hawkes since the revelation, but won't deny that she still idolises the inkling and his love for music.
Whenever Camille appears on TV during league games or is mentioned in passing, Adachi is the first person to announce that he knew Camille when he was a teenager and that he "Taught that little menace everything he knows". He hasn't spoken to Camille in years, but if the inkling needed anything from Adachi and the gang, he would have it.
Adachi is Camille's self professed "delinquent supervisor", the two frequently ditching class and hanging out to smoke during their short few years at high school together. They don't speak much anymore, but if either of them needed help, the other would be there with no hesitation.
Tsuki loves Adachi. She is always delighted when he comes to the maid cafe to visit, and Tsuki is one of the many maids that fights over serving him when he comes to eat. Tsuki has known Adachi ever since his job as a security guard for the cafe, and sometimes goes to the diner to hang out.
Lizard idolises Adachi like nothing else, and wishes he could be as cool and intimidating as Adachi.
Molly likes Adachi, and has known him since Adachi worked as a security guard for the cafe. He tolerates Adachi's goading about his lack of initiative for his love life.
