Bram Stoker
"Turn me down and this sword of the Holy Cross will sear its way into your brain. I won't curse you for you yourself are a curse."

- Fukuchi threatens Bram into obeying him

Yukichi Fukuzawa
"Friend? Yes… Of course I am… or was, until a certain time. But Fukuzawa never went to the battlefield. That's where our paths split… for all time."

- Fukuchi on his severed bond with Fukuzawa

Fukuchi has known Fukuzawa since they were young and are childhood friends who learned swordsmanship together in a government-run school of martial arts. It is implied Fukuzawa had always been one step ahead of him in life, which fueled their friendly rivalry and friendship over the years. They also seem to have a mutual friend named "Kin-chan" who Fukuchi said would be sad to hear that Fukuzawa had not yet married when he met with him at the military base upon his capture.

Though Fukuchi has kept a friendly front for Fukuzawa over the years and also did him a number of favors for him and the Armed Detective Agency, he has actually held a hidden resentment for him. The reason for his hatred of Fukuzawa stems from his military days when Fukuchi participated in the war and suffered horrendous trauma on the battlefield, horrendous trauma he says Fukuzawa hadn't witnessed himself as he wasn't on the frontlines. He lamented the fact Fukuzawa did not join him on the battlefield to realize such atrocities, stating their paths split forever after this event. Though the details of this situation are still unclear, Fukuchi seems to find Fukuzawa's ideals of justice and resolve to protect the nation to be naive, because he himself didn't see the atrocities of war and the battlefield and may even view him as a hypocrite for his beliefs. Fukuzawa, unaware of his best friend's hatred for him all the years, still trusted him to this day as the one man in the world he could trust the most.

Ranpo Edogawa
"This kid, you know… He's jealous of me. I've heard all about him, believe me. He first met Fukuzawa thirteen years ago. But that's still not even half the time I've spent with Fukuzawa."

- Fukuchi on Ranpo

Fukuchi has known Ranpo since the day of the Armed Detective Agency's opening 11 years ago. During this event, Ranpo witnessed Fukuchi drink himself silly, make a loud scene, and urinate all over the agency's brand new placard. The event was so disturbing that Ranpo was genuinely taken aback by Fukuchi's behaviors, something he states he rarely ever does.

On this day, Ranpo was told by Fukuzawa that Fukuchi is the one man in the world he could trust the most, thus causing Ranpo to trust him on blind faith alone, which ultimately led him to falsely believe Fukuchi could be trusted without question and didn't question him until his Super Deduction proved him otherwise. Despite Fukuchi mocking Ranpo for his childish nature and calling him a "brat", he acknowledges Ranpo's high prowess in observation and intelligence, even when he revealed himself as Kamui.

Atsushi Nakajima
"Thus, if the tiger stood in front, with the black cloth focusing on defense and blindsiding, you might have even had a chance to take this head. […] But you failed to do that entirely because you were too frightened to."

- Fukuchi criticizes Atsushi's lack of trust in being Akutagawa's vanguard in fighting him

Ryūnosuke Akutagawa
"[…] I am stronger and more experienced than any other. And just like you, I can bloody my hands for my mission. We have much in common. Wouldn't I give you more prospects than your current master?"

- Fukuchi offers to become Akutagawa's mentor
