Katsuya Suou
"I think I could help the boss, if only he'd let me."
Hikaru's direct superior and future case study for when he eventually writes a book on all this nonsense. Katsuya is clearly in need of some form of assistance, but it's just like they say in the West: 'you can lead a horse to water, but you can't make it drink'.

Enoha Koinose
"I think that Koinose-san and I are very much alike."
One of Hikaru's coworkers, and one whose desires to protect everyone align with his own. Hikaru trusts Enoha because of that.
Jason R. Butler
"He's an entertaining fellow! I'm sure he gives Suou-san his share of heart attacks."
Hikaru enjoys Jason's bluster, but he doesn't think for a moment that he's an idiot American.

Yoko Nakashima
"I think Yoko-chan is amazing. She's a compassionate young woman, even with the problems she's facing."
Hikaru thinks Yoko is great, and feels a strong sense of obligation to look out for her. She's a bright young lady who has enough to worry about with her personal demons, let alone giant God-monsters trying to eat her.
XIX - THE SUN
Kyo Taimiev
"Look, it's just... I know there's at least one man I've failed in my new job."
Taimiev-san is a danger to society, and he must be stopped. That doesn't change the guilt that Hikaru feels as the presiding psychologist over his entry into the SHU.
XX - JUDGEMENT
Yisa Taimiev
"No - not just one - I don't feel I've done my best with a lot of people. It's -- it's kinda -- it's hard to explain."
The other Taimiev-san whom Hikaru has failed. He didn't know her, before she came in, but everything he's heard - and her actions afterwards - tell him they've made a terrible mistake.
XXI - THE WORLD
D4
"I get the feeling that they need someone like me. But it's kind of overwhelming sometimes, you know?"
Hikaru's place of employment in Sumaru, as well as his tutor in the strange ways of the city. Hikaru came to the Department during interesting times, and even though it's been rocky, he's convinced that he can help. He just hopes he really is helping...
