They fool around together and are close. Kisho loves Iichiko so much he'll pour the contents of Guest's glass into his own. Kisho is soft on Guest! He loves them! Sometimes he tries to act cool. Guest is also at Ken Production. Guest acts cold on the surface, but deep down— "Seiyuu to Yoasobi" is a program where they play games designed by the staff; it's a live stream on Abema rather than a pre-recorded show. He calls Guest by name, or occasionally "Junior-chan."
