Saika is popular among his peers. He has his own fan club comprised mainly of girls, who address him as prince for his feminine personality. He is quite popular with both genders and mentioned to be on par with Hayato in popularity.

Hachiman Hikigaya[]
He was in the same class as Hachiman for two years and they attend the same gym session/class at school. Saika is very kind and caring towards Hachiman, often picking up on his bad moods. Saika tries to cheer Hachiman up many times throughout the series. Hachiman was Saika's tennis partner once, when Saika's usual partner was absent. Saika usually calls Hachiman by his first name. Hachiman sometimes responds in kind, even though it makes him uncomfortable, but Saika enjoys it
Hachiman was completely unaware of Saika's existence, despite being in the same class for two years. Hachiman attributes this to the fact he usually ignores girls in his class or everyone else in the class. In their second year of high school, Saika is introduced to Hachiman who finally learns that he is actually a boy.
Hachiman often has 'romantic thoughts' about Saika, and quickly stops himself from 'falling for the Totsuka route' after reminding himself that Saika is a male. Saika is one of the few people who truly wants to be closer friends with Hachiman, despite Hachiman's tendency to push others away. Furthermore, at the summer camp Saika is shown to sometimes dream about Hachiman, mumbling Hachiman's name in his sleep.
Saika is one of the few to know the real reason of the roof incident during the Cultural Festival, though he believes Hachiman has his reasons for acting the way he does and ultimately wants a good outcome. After the athletic festival, when their entire class shows their dislike for Hachiman, he still socializes with him. He admires Hachiman for his true, kind personality.
In Episode 7 of season 2 and Volume 9, Saika says that he thinks Hachiman is a cool person, indicating that Saika thinks highly of Hachiman.

Hayato Hayama[]
Hayato and Saika seem to be on friendly terms. Saika and Hayato participated as the lead roles in Hina's play, an adaptation of the story "The Little Prince", though Hachiman was originally supposed to be in Saika's place.
Once Hayato tried to assist the Service Club with Taishi's request, but this ended poorly for Hayama. Hachiman along with Yoshiteru burst out laughing, Saika tried to stop them from laughing at Hayama but struggled to hold his own laughter. Hayato notices but has no hard feelings for Saika.
Hayato, Hachiman and Saika attended the workplace visit as a group. They seem to get along without any hardships.
Yoshiteru Zaimokuza[]

Saika also extended his hand in friendship stating that "a friend of Hachiman's is his friend as well". Zaimokuza initially thought Saika was a girl at first until learning otherwise. Saika is not put off by Zaimokuza's tendencies and gets along fine with becoming the latter's first friend.
