- Kogara Toto: If Kokage is a guy, Toto is the one whom she wants to date with. Toto is gentle and graceful, a really nice person.
- Ichinose Uruha: A strong-willed person which accompanied by her experience. Her "pien" emoji on chat is cute.

- Kisaragi Ren: She oozes wise and calm aura, which Kokage think it is really cool. Being able to talk with her for a long time is something Kokage really appreciate. Ren recommended "octopus rice" to Kokage which she never tried before.
- Kaminari Qpi: The way she talks and her mannerism really showing her "gyaru"-ness, really cute.
- Yakumo Beni: She is a serious thinker who also likes "shimoneta" (下ネタ, dirty jokes/vulgar slang).
- Aizawa Ema: She has a good observation skill as she can see-though Kokake's low communication skill which she tried to hide. She is someone beautiful whom you can feel at ease just listening to her voice.
