Couples[]

Ikuto Tsukiyomi: At first Ikuto and Amu were enemies because Ikuto

worked for Easter but as the series progesses he is shown to have deep feelings for Amu because she is the one person that makes him feel happy and care him. From time to time he hides in Amu's room to get away from Easter when he was being tracked down. At this time Amu finds Ikuto to be mature about his problems but he can annoy her lots of time especially while she's doing her homework. He confessed to her in Episode 74 but Amu didn't believe him and then he confessed to her again in Episode 102 before taking off to find his father.

Tadase Hotori: Amu had a crush on Tadase due to his "prince" outer charac

ter and confessed her "love" in public, which she blamed Ran for chara-changing her. While she was turned down by Tadase at that point, since then, Tadase took an interest in her. The two become closer once Amu joins the Guardians and when on a trip, Tadase reveals that he likes "Amulet Heart," who while is one of Amu's would-be selves, is not Amu herself, much to her upset. As the story develops, Tadase sees that "Amulet Heart" is just a small part of Amu and realizes his feelings are for Amu as who she is. ln Chapter 45 Amu and Dia travel through space and time and accidentally arrive in the Chairman's Office where Tadase, Hikaru and Tsukasa are. When he finds out that Amu's three Guardian Characters have disappeared, he offers to help her look for them. In Chapter 46, 47 , and Chapter 48, his older self goes with Amu to find her Characters. That is when Amu admits to Tadase's older self that she only liked Tadase for his outer character, and that she truly loved Ikuto Tsukiyomi. Despite this, Tadase tells Amu that he will always be there for her, and later, in Shugo Chara Encore, he tells Ikuto that he just wanted Amu to be happy, but that if he (Ikuto) made her unhappy, he would be sure to step in, saying that he would not give up. Nearing the end of Shugo Chara Encore, Amu catches the bouquet, but ends up throwing it back up into the sky when she hears that Nagihiko and Nadeshiko were really the same person. Ikuto and Tadase immediately catch the falling Amu, before having a comical argument over who should let go of her first.

Kukai Souma: Amu has a bit of a crush on Kukai in the first season of Shugo

Chara, though this is demonstrated more in the anime, as in the manga, Amu appears to see him as more of a big brother. In the manga, Kukai witnesses Amu's first Chara Nari and carries her back home when she faints. In the Anime, Kukai stops Amu from tripping, which causes Amu to blush. Amu also thought about Kukai's love in an episode. In the manga, Kukai and Amu are very competitive in many sports, such as surfing, soccer, etc. They also went on several "Dates" like shopping in the mall and going to eat ice cream in the park. Amu added Kukai to her "future grooms" dream. Gradually, she got over her crush, but she remained a close friend to him.

Kairi Sanjou: Kairi became closely attracted to Amu after getting to know her, b

ut tries to hide those feelings due to his mission to get close to the Guardians and find out about their weaknesses, under the order of his older sister, Yukari Sanjo. In the end, it was Amu who persuaded him to fight for what's right instead of doing Yukari's bidding. Before he returns to his hometown, he confesses his feelings to Amu. Kairi returns again in the later chapters of the Shugo Chara series, where upon meeting the guardians, voices out his relief that Amu was not there, seeing as he promised to return to her only when he became a real man. During the preparation for the Graduation, a blushing Kairi approaches Amu and tells her that "I've always wanted to.." before being interrupted by Yaya Yuiki, posssibly out of (Yaya's) jealousy (Jealousy alert).

Nagihiko Fujisaki: As Nagihiko, he remains friends with Amu as Nadeshiko's

"twin", but keeps his real identity a secret. Nadeshiko is able to resist Tadase's "shining face", though not Amu's, which is shown when she smiles at him after Tadase and Kuukai craftily introduces Nagihiko as the new Jack's chair, much to Amu's happiness and excitement, to which Nagihiko is unable to reveal the truth, earning the Guardians a new Jack. It is shown that he has some feelings for Amu and sometimes blushing in situations such as in Episode 22, where Amu was panicking on the bus and she quickly hugged him (as Nadeshiko). Also in Episode 25, he was always holding her hand and somewhat flirting with her. However, Nagihiko did not show any further love interests, and so remains Amu's best friend (as Nadeshiko). In the end, he never revealed to Amu that he was also Nadeshiko. However, at the end of the manga, "Shugo Chara! Encore!", in Chapter 4, he then reveals that he is Nadeshiko which recieves a yell from Amu.

Friendships[]

Nadeshiko and Amu — Nadeshiko Fujisaki and Amu Hinamori Dancing

Nadeshiko Fujisaki: When Amu refused to join the Guardians she (Nadeshiko) tried many tatics to get to join and eventually succeeds. She and Amu became close and best friends after that Nadeshiko even gave up her dance practice (the one thing that she loves the most) to have Amu over her place for a sleepover.

Rima and Amu — Rima Mashiro and Amu Hinamori High fiving

Rima Mashiro: When Rima was transferred to Seiyo Academy during spring term. She was very cold towards Amu, but Amu notes that she and Rima are rather similar, both keeping a cool and cold facade, despite that not being their true selfs. After they learn to understand each other, Rima becomes one of Amu's best friends. Rima is somewhat protective of her friendship with Amu, as shown when she gets jealous when Yaya tells her that Nadeshiko was Amu's best friend before Rima, questioning Amu why she wasn't her best friend as well despite also being the Queen's chair and sharing the same class as her in tears, causing Amu to flusteredly try to stop her from crying, though Nagihiko lazily points out Rima was faking tears. Rima also has the habit of flying into a silent rage when Nadeshiko states that she is Amu's best friend instead of Rima.

Yaya,rima and amu — Yaya, Rima and Amu asleep

Yaya Yuiki: Yaya looks Amu as an older sister character and callls her "Amu-chi". When the guardians were working to save Ikuto, Yaya tries to follow what Rima did earlier and telling Tadase and Amu to leave it all to her in hopes of gaining Amu's approval, though it fails and only manages to stun both Tadase and Amu with comical effects. Still, after seeing Amu and Tadase battle the monster dog while trying to protect Yaya, Yaya shields the both of them with her body, admitting that while she still wanted to be the youngest, and be loved, carried and babied around by the others, it was also because she was the weakest; a baby, that every once in a while, she had to carry them around too, surprising Amu and Tadase.

[[Utau Hoshina|

Utau Hoshina]]: When Utau was still working for Easter she considered Amu to be a rival because her older brother Ikuto Tsukiyomi liked Amu instead of her (Utau). Throughout the middle of the series the heat became more competitive because Amu and Utau even kept one of each others Guardian Character (El and X-Dia) but at the end of the series they became friends and in episode 121 Il and El considered that Utau and Amu were best friends because Amu could soothes Utau wavering Heart due to change in her new song.
