Iroka Kahoru A famous actress/model, s/he is the person Futaba thought of as his father, although he actually gave birth to Futaba. Iroka pushes Futaba to follow in her footsteps as Futaba-chan.

Negiri is Futaba-kun's equivalent of Nabiki Tendo and speaks using Kansai turns of phrase. Principal Hiroin A small man with an over-sized head, Principal Hiroin is somewhat mad. Whenever he sees someone in trouble he changes into one of his superhero costumes (modelled on Japanese superheroes) and appears to attempt to save the day.
