Family[]

Hana Kirisaki[]

Mother

Hana is the mother of Chitoge who visits (albeit very rarely) Chitoge and her husband around Christmas Eve, and is also the person who gave Chitoge her red ribbon. Chitoge and her mother had a close relationship with each other when she was younger, until Hana started to be engrossed in her work. Sooner or later, Chitoge stopped calling her "Mom" in front of her and became afraid and nervous of her whenever she visits. Hana has always asked Chitoge how old she is (even if she already knows) and never gave her presents on Christmas. When Hana returns to Japan a few days before Christmas Eve, Chitoge introduces Raku as her boyfriend. Hana looks at Chitoge's ribbon, and asks her why she still wears it, due to it being frayed from wear. She tells her to wear something else in order to maintain her appearance, and informed Chitoge that she came early just because she had business to do.

Wanting to spend time with her, Chitoge calls to ask if they can spend time together (as per Raku's suggestion) but is turned down. Believing that Hana no longer cares about her, she removes the ribbon Hana gave her. When Raku asks her furiously why she turned Chitoge down, he notices that Hana is nervous around Chitoge, which results in her asking meagre questions such as Chitoge's age. She thinks that Chitoge won't accept her gifts because she assumes that Chitoge hates her, due to the fact that Chitoge stopped calling her "Mom". However, she always keeps a stack of gifts she had planned to give to Chitoge every year, but never got the chance to. Raku tells her that Chitoge actually loves her and still calls her "Mom" when she is not there, and states that he will bring Chitoge to her before Hana's flight leaves.

Although Raku and Chitoge are too late and Hana's flight leaves, Raku calls Hana and gives his phone to Chitoge, where she tells Hana she loves her. Hana stops the plane and gets down to ask Chitoge if she hates her. Chitoge answers that she has always been afraid of her but says she has always loved her and calls her "Mom" again. Once they reconcile, Chitoge and her mom spend time together at a hotel suite, with Hana finally giving Chitoge one of her presents - a new ribbon. Chitoge appreciates the present and thanks her mom, but decides to wear the ribbon her mom gave her ten years ago, as she stated it brought back more memories.

In Chapter 164, Chitoge nearly forgets that it's Christmas Eve and remembers that her mom has come to visit. She rushes home, excited to see her.

Adelt Wogner Kirisaki[]

Father

Adelt is the father of Chitoge who lives with her, because of her mother's busy schedule and lack of appearances at the house, Adelt solely cared for her as a child. Because of that they get along very well and love each other as a father and daughter would, though sometimes Chitoge was worried about making friends since her father was a gangster but she had no resentment towards him.

Adelt has great faith in his daughter's academic abilities and talents, wanting her to have a better future than his, which shows his care for her. During her career counseling, he even suggested her becoming an actress or an idol all of which caused Chitoge to smile and bashfully behave around him. (Chapter 122)

He also enjoys teasing her as he makes remarks about her Raku's growing relationships all of which causes Chitoge to get flustered and admonish him until he tells her he's joking.

Raku Ichijō[]

Husband

Chitoge raku

Raku is the false lover assigned to her by her father and Raku's father at the beginning of series to prevent a gang war between their families. Chitoge had already met Raku earlier when she kneed him in the face, angering him and causing friction during the beginning of their "relationship". After making friends with him and getting saved from drowning, her outlook on Raku begins to brighten. As the series progresses, she develops feelings for him, although he is not sure how to react as his own feelings are muddled, and Raku ends up upsetting Chitoge who cuts herself off from him for the remainder of summer vacation. The two make up after Raku asks Chitoge to take the co-leading role of Juliet in the school play. It is stated by Chitoge's mother that Raku was Chitoge's first love and hinted that he may be the boy she made the promise with. Towards the end of the anime, Chitoge finally realizes her feelings for Raku, and admits she's in love with him through her lines. (Nisekoi chapter 49) Ever since she realized her crush on him. Raku and Chitoge's relationship has become part of the plot of some chapters in the manga. Such as her wondering if she would even want to take her relationship with him further (Nisekoi chapter 51), or her trying to get Raku to notice her. (Nisekoi Chapter 57).

When Raku suffered amnesia, Chitoge felt guilty as it was due to her that he suffered from it. After he was told they were a couple, Raku admitted he was happy to know his girlfriend was really pretty as she blushed full red. She soon pondered if he always thought of her pretty and was surprised at his nice behavior (nisekoi chapter 88)

During Chapter 139, though she and a princess who looked identical to her from a foreign country switched clothes, Raku was able to identify her when nobody else could. Chitoge questioned this and he explained that by being with her for so long he automatically knew who she was as she blushed full red at hearing this. In chapter 161, Chitoge was told she was going to move back to America. She had an idea to stay with Raku while her dad would move to America but Claude had a voice recorder put on her tie and had heard her plans of staying with Raku. As Chitoge started packing, Claude locked her in a room. As she was locked in the room she cried about not being able to say goodbye to her friends one more time and not getting to see Raku again one last time. When he came to see her, she is happy and looked eager when he tells her that she is much more to him. However, she disappointed when he calls her his best friend and she punches him for it though it is shown she is somewhat touched he still values her.

Since Marika's departure, Chitoge has become more determined in enhancing her relationship with Raku. She invites him on a date and dresses up for it and is shy after he takes notes of it, seeing it as progress. The date doesn't go to well as they mostly argue or she hits him before he yells at her for this. Chitoge is reduced to tears and leaves even though Raku called out for her to stop. By complete chance, they bump into each other and do so several times before laughing at the situation and apologizing for causing the other grief. They continue their date and have a friendly game with both having fun.

It is revealed in Chapter 199 that she has taken note of his habits and they play a game as Raku realized he has fallen in love with her, which resulted in him being in a dilemma because of his current feelings for Onodera as well.

In Chapter 227, Chitoge confesses her feelings to him as she didn't want to regret it but is surprised when Raku tells her he rejected Onodera. She lists all her faults but Raku tells her he has looked past them as he confesses his feelings to her as she breaks down in tears of joy and they reconcile through a loving hug. Despite finally finding out their feelings for each other, the two are separated, for 6 months due to Chitoge departing from Japan in order to join a special person who could guide her to her to a career she wants. Before she leaves, Raku proposes to her and she accepts with them staying in contact in their time apart.

After several years past, Raku calls several of his friends about receiving invitations for his and Chitoge's upcoming wedding. He later reunites with Chitoge at the promised place to make a special promise to each other similar to their original promise. They both reminisce on their journey together and Chitoge asked if he was really okay with her as he jokingly questioned her on this as it would be too late for regrets.

As Raku prepares to leave, Chitoge quickly stops him to remind him that they should kiss. The two are nervous at first, since they are both each other's first kisses; but in the end they share their first kiss as a couple though they ended up hitting teeth. Unsatisfied with this, Chitoge tried to get another kiss as he complains about this action with them arguing as usual.

Years later, they get married and they are also shown to have a son together; signifying that their connection and love for each other is very strong.

Son

Haku Ichijo

Friends[]

Kosaki Onodera[]

Best Friends

Nisekoi kosaki chitoge

After overcoming her awkward phase in high school, Chitoge befriends Kosaki after initially helping her with homework, then teaching her to swim, both occasions set up by Kosaki's existing friend Ruri. They become close enough to call each other by their first names. Thus, Chitoge comes clean over the relationship she had with Raku, confidently calling it off. Much later, they are told that they had met each other before, by Raku who had said Chitoge's father remembered him and Kosaki as well.

Only after making Valentine's Day chocolate together do Chitoge and Kosaki tell each other they're in love with someone. They promise to help each other out to win over their crushes without telling each other who their crushes are until they've confessed. During the second year, Kosaki being Chitoge's best friend is exemplified by her crying the most when she learns of Chitoge's transfer from Bonyari High against the latter's wishes, as well as being most relieved when Chitoge is allowed to return.

During a stargazing night in their third year, Chitoge overhears Kosaki confess to an unconscious Raku. The next day, she overhears Raku casually talk to Shu about liking Kosaki. This unsettles Chitoge enough to meet Raku just one more time before leaving the country. When tracked down in New York suddenly by Raku and Kosaki themselves, Chitoge hides from Raku but not Kosaki, who asks if Chitoge likes Raku as well. Chitoge denies, and runs away again. She does not see Kosaki again until returning to the place both had met Raku in their childhood - the Tenku Plateau - and only after both had confessed to Raku separately, with Kosaki losing out. There, they merely hug and cry.

Years later, Raku and Chitoge are preparing for their wedding. Kosaki happily calls one of them and tell them she is grateful that she is the one making their wedding cake.

Ruri Miyamoto[]

Chitoge becomes friends with Ruri after the latter had called her up to teach Kosaki how to swim. Despite being friends, Chitoge is naïve to the fact that Ruri is helping Kosaki win Raku over. She also one of the girls who know that Raku and Chitoge are fake lovers but had already speculated it before she was even told by Chitoge.

After establishing a stronger relationship with Chitoge, she too was able to notice Chitoge's growing feelings for Raku. She wanted to be able to support Chitoge but decided not to because she was already supporting Kosaki to get together with Raku.

Seishirō Tsugumi[]

Nisekoi tsugumi chitoge

Tsugumi and Chitoge had been friends since they were children, which was around the time Chitoge met the boy she made the promise with. Tsugumi is probably one of the only friends Chitoge had before she moved to America. When they were reunited again in high school, Tsugumi watches over Chitoge and Raku's relationship as part of the role Claude assigned to her. Tsugumi had even given up her femininity for Chitoge in order to keep her safe, but Chitoge tries to help her get out of that and helps her gain at least a little bit of her femininity by giving her a bow or bikini for her to wear. She doesn't know that Raku and Chitoge are fake lovers, until Chapter 204 where she overheard a conversation between Raku and Chitoge. Tsugumi does eventually support their relationship becoming real, by facing off against Claude for Chitoge's sake.

Marika Tachibana[]

Nisekoi marika chitoge

One of the two rivals of Chitoge for the love of Raku. Chitoge was furious at Marika for declaring that she was Raku's fiancée when Raku wasn't even aware of it, and already dating Chitoge. Although overtime she is shown talking with Marika in a civilized manner, and without shouting at each other's faces; they are more like frenemies. She always knew that the relationship between Raku and Chitoge was fake, and an excuse for Raku to turn down Marika.

Despite the vitriol between them, Chitoge cares for Marika enough to save the latter from being married off by her mother, though Marika does eventually drop out of Bonyari High School for other reasons. Since then, Chitoge has become more determined in enhancing her relationship with Raku. Marika later travels to the Tenku Plateau upon being informed of Chitoge's arrival there, and it is ultimately Marika who calls Chitoge out on running away from her own feelings, and trying to pretend nothing's happened. This makes Chitoge hug Marika for the first and only time before she returns to the hill where Raku is waiting.

Professionals[]

Claude[]

Claude is one of the opponents of the relationship Chitoge is forced to have with Raku as part of their clans' truce. He is introduced as her bodyguard, and revealed to be jointly responsible for Chitoge's upbringing, alongside her father. Claude continues to be against the relationship even as Chitoge develops feelings for Raku, to the extent that he would trap Chitoge in her father's office on the night before they are to leave Japan. Ultimately, though it is not known to Chitoge herself, Claude's reason for continuing to oppose Raku being with Chitoge is a petty one - he wants Tsugumi to not only succeed him, but also marry Chitoge, despite Tsugumi being female herself.
