[[File:Index.png|thumb|Bike-chan from the Nightmare of Fabrication]]'''Bike''' (びけ ''Bike''), '''Bike-chan''' is a toy dog owned by [[Lain Iwakura]] that is unsuccessfully automated by her an unknown number of times. It appears in the [[The Nightmare of Fabrication|manga]] and the [[Serial Experiments Lain (game)|game]]. Lain has reportedly owned it since birth, although there is no way of knowing how many incarnations it has had.
==Trivia==

*A stuffed toy dog closely resembling Bike-chan appears in the [[Serial Experiments Lain (anime)|anime]]; it is dropped at Lain's feet by a young girl in [[Shibuya]].

*In the official translation of the manga, its name is written as "Bikeh" as an aid to proper pronunciation.

*In ''Alice in Cyberland'', a PlayStation game of which [[Chiaki J. Konaka]] wrote the scenarios, there is a holographic cat of the same name.

Takeshi

Altgal: Removed Construction panel, added new sentence

[[File:Takeshi and touko.jpg|thumb|Takeshi with Touko.]]

'''Takeshi''' is [[Touko Yonera|Touko's]] lover in the [[Serial Experiments Lain (game)|game]]. He studied abroad in America with her but returned to Japan 1 year earlier. After that, he started to work in the [[Tachibana General Laboratories]], albeit in a different building from Touko's. There, Takeshi stopped consistently communicating with Touko, occasionally calling her and saying that he is busy. Eventually, Touko finds out that Takeshi is getting married.

== Personality ==
Touko stated that Takeshi was positively different from her previous boyfriends, noting that he isn't a careless person and that she feels protected with him. Takeshi is smart and kind but not very talkative.

== Impact on Touko ==
Takeshi was always very important to Touko. Before meeting him, she had a series of bad romances. Takeshi was the one person who supported Touko at the right time. She constantly thinks about him in her diaries and tries to avoid menial tasks at work, longing for a relationship with him. When she learns that her old friend [[Harumi]] is getting married, she becomes jealous and wants to hear a proposal from him.

However, upon hearing that Takeshi is getting married, Touko becomes extremely unstable and contemplates resigning from her job. She sinks into depression and blames herself for not recognizing that Takeshi had stopped loving her. Once, Touko encountered Takeshi in the laboratory, where the only thing he said was, "You look very good". In response, she burst into hysterical laughter, hoping that he would tell her about his marriage.

Yoshida

Altgal: The page has been completely redesigned

'''Yoshida''' is [[Touko Yonera|Touko's]] lover in the [[Serial Experiments Lain (game)|game]] and a worker of the [[Tachibana General Laboratories]], testing new medical equipment. He gave her [[RML]], after seeing that Touko looks tired.

== Personality and appearance ==
Yoshida looked young and cute, however, Touko stated that he was grown up for his age, thus making him popular among women. He was kind and concerned about Touko.

== Impact on Touko ==
While Touko was been ignored by her [[Takeshi]], she unconsciously wanted Yoshida to become her new boyfriend. Touko enjoys all moments with Yoshida, and looks forward to meeting with him again. When Yoshida brings her RML to help with her exhaustion, she felt the urge to return the favor by assisting him with testing it and using it before going to bed.

After Touko finds out about Takeshi's marriage, she seeks support in Yoshida, and desperately tries to become close with him, dreaming about marrying him. Yoshida becomes the only trusted person to her. But one time, when Touko tearfully confides in Yoshido about all the things that trouble her, instead of helping her, he told everyone about her confession and laughed at her. It crushed her self-confidence, leading Touko to become psychologically unstable. She starts contemplating death and becomes paranoid.

[[File:Misato with Lain.jpg|thumb|Misato and Lain in school.]]
'''Misato''' is [[Lain Iwakura|Lain's]] best friend in the [[Serial Experiments Lain (game)|game]]. She is very talanted and good looking. After being accused of plagiarism at an art festival, she decides to move away due to rumors spread by her classmates. Just before the end, Lain got email to her hidden site from Misato, however, it later turns out that the dates and times were fabricated.

== Personality ==
Misato is very talented at drawing. She teached Lain how to draw on a computer. Her drawing of a Pegasus, which she submitted at the cultural festival, impressed prestigious friends of Kazami Sensei, they wanted to showcase it at the prefectural exhibition.
Misato has been playing the violin since she was very young and has also participated in the competitions. Once, she gifted Lain a CD where she plays on it.

Lain constantly compares herself to Misato. They both share an interest in the computers, rarely talk about themselves, and are passionate about painting. However, unlike her, Misato excels in physical education and, according to Lain, is more beautiful. Misato was very popular in school due to her talents and appearance.

== Family ==
Misato lived in a rich neighbourhood in a very fancy house. Lain said that Misato`s mother is very beautiful and looks like an actress.

== Cultural Festival ==
During the cultural festival, Misato's painting featuring a Pegasus was accused of being a plagiarism of a japanese artist's work that had been showcased in an American magazine. As a result, her drawing was not allowed to be exhibited at the prefecture's exhibition. After that, Misato stopped attending school and secluded herself from everyone. Lain couldn't believe that she could steal someone else's artwork, so she emailed the magazine using the net. After some time, she received a response stating that the sketch drawn by Misato had been created two months earlier. Afterwards, Misato moved away without saying anything to Lain.

== Misato and Touko ==
[[Touko Yonera]], Lain's counselor, interviews Lains classmates at school, one of whom being Lain's childhood friend [[Kyoko]], about Misato, but turns out, they don't know anyone with that name. And thus, Touko concluded that she could be Lain's imaginary friend. However, it is not confirmed, as we do see an image of what appears to be Misato in the game, and Lain defends her existence, getting angry at Touko over this accusation.
