When Amu rejects the offer to join the Guardians, Nadeshiko tries several tactics to convince her to join. The two become best friends and Nadeshiko looks over and supports Amu in her love life. However, before Amu and Nadeshiko enter the sixth grade, Nadeshiko leaves Seiyo Elementary to travel to Europe to study dancing.

Nadeshiko is actually a boy named Nagihiko Fujisaki. Amu and the girls call him by his nickname "Nagi". It is tradition in the Fujisaki family for males to be raised as females as part of their training so that they may play female roles in Japanese dance. Nagihiko's secret is known to his family, Tadase, Kukai, Rima (including their Shugo Chara), and the school's principal Tsukasa Amakawa. Nagihiko has trouble telling Amu that he is actually a boy, instead, he tells Amu that he is Nadeshiko's twin brother.

Prior to Nagihiko's return to the guardians, Temari went back into her egg to slumber.

Rhythm's egg was first seen in chapter 30 and in episode 56, but as of chapter 34 and episode 91, he hatches after Nagihiko remembers how much he likes playing basketball, at his own pace and rhythm, while fighting against an X Character. During Character Change, huge headphones appear around Nagihiko's neck, and he gains an energetic persona; he also does not seem to hesitate to participate in athletic activities, and goes all out dominating several sports such as soccer, baseball, tennis, and judo. This causes most of the sports clubs to become obsessed with recruiting him for their teams, much to his dismay. When in a Character Transformation, they become Beat Jumper. In the anime television series, Rhythm is voiced by Kōki Miyata.

Kukai Soma (相馬 空海, Sōma Kūkai)

She has an enormous sweet tooth, a great soft spot for items like ribbons, as well as a tendency to be hyperactive. She is also a ballerina, though a rather clumsy one. She has a newborn baby brother named Tsubasa, who she claims gets all her parents' attention. It is because of this that her baby-like Guardian Character, Pepe, was born.

Rima Mashiro replaces Nadeshiko as the new Queen's Chair. Although Rima is the same age as Amu, she is petite and has relatively poor athletic abilities. Most of the boys in her class love her and treat her like a real queen because of her beauty and passive personality, while the girls are annoyed by her because of her selfishness.

Because of a kidnapping incident that happened before she transferred to Seiyo Elementary, her parents pick her up after school. Since it interferes with their work schedules, they often argue about who cares more for Rima over their work. This results in Rima often having no one but Kusukusu as company for her secret interest in gag comedy. Later, she opens up to Amu and becomes friends with her.

When Yaya explains to Rima about Amu and Nadeshiko's friendship, she appears to be jealous. At first, she is shown to have a great dislike for Nagihiko because Amu told Rima and Yaya that he is Nadeshiko's twin brother due to a confusion between the two. This leads Rima to be protective over Amu and cold toward Nagihiko, although it is implied she is in love with him. She tells Nagihiko that he is useless because his Guardian Character is still inside an egg, but she gains respect and trust for him later on. Rima discovers that Nadeshiko and Nagihiko are actually the same person. In the anime television series, Rima is voiced by Sayuri Yahagi. She is portrayed by Karen Yagishita in the musical.

Kairi is Yukari Sanjo's younger brother and was sent to spy on the Guardians. This was not his choice though, as Yukari immediately begged him to transfer to Seiyo upon discovering that he had a Guardian Character. Since his sister is busy at work, Kairi takes care of the household work (and his sister) in her apartment. However, when he sees the true meaning of his "missions", he tries to rebel against Yukari, but not before he reveals his secret to the Guardians when they accidentally discover him with teaser CDs. He switches sides after Amu convinces him he is a good person. Afterward, he leaves saying that he promised his parents and local classmates that he would return, but not before declaring his love for Amu, saying that he will return for her when he has become a man worthy of her. He also declared a rivalry toward Tadase. In chapter 44, he is shown in Amu's town looking for Yukari and comments about also looking for "that person".
