Exactly What It Says on the Tin. This is the first person you've ever acknowledged as a friend, maybe even a best friend. They come in three variants: The first person you form a very special bond with in childhood. The first person to become your friend when you originally had a Friendless Background. The first person you open up to when you initially didn't believe in bonds. No matter the case, these are the people that helped introduced you to companionship, allowing to come out of your shell and open up to others. Whether these people are the most important person in your life or not, they are ones you get to know and form a special bond with first, so they remain an important figure in your life. May overlap with Best Friend, if the first person is really that close with you. It could also overlap with with Only Friend if said person was the only friend they had prior to making more companions. It could also lead to a Childhood Friend Romance if the two friends were to fall in love with one another. Truth in Television, as many people have a first friend. While they do exist however, they are far too common and also far too personal to talk about, so No Real Life Examples, Please! |

The World Ends with You: Neku Sakuraba was a loner who refused to socialize with people at the start of the game. This changes when he meets his first partner, Shiki, who is able to bring out the best in him during the week they have playing the Reaper's Game. Shiki being taken as his entry fee is seen as proof of how much he grew to care about her, and it gives him the determination to survive the game for her sake. It later turns out that Shiki being taken was to cover up the fact that she, the winner of that weak's Reaper's Game, couldn't be resurrected without the help of the Composer, who was absent. Neku never learns that, but considering Shiki's importance to him, he has no reason to question her being designated as his entry fee. | |

In The O.C., a large part of why the Cohens take in Ryan is because he gets along well with their son Seth who is socially awkward and historically has difficulty making friends. Seth himself often asks Ryan for help in group settings, acknowledging that he's relying on Ryan's superior social skills to gain access to parties and events Seth would never have been invited to on his own. While Ryan remains his most steadfast friendship through the series, Seth does continue on to make a few other friends, including a couple of girlfriends, although admittedly with a lot of consultations with Ryan. | |

Kotoura-san: After having been broken at the start of the series, Haruka Kotoura didn't have anyone willing to talk or be nice to her because of her inability to control her Telepathy until she met Yoshihisa Manabe, who not only voices all his thoughts out loud, but is the first person to treat her like a human being instead of a monster or someone to avoid, becoming the first friend she could count on and eventually her love interest. | |

Dogs Don't Talk: As a young child in Oakwood, Texas, Ben's best friend was a boy named Travis. They used to pretend to be Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn, even though they were too young to read the book. Their friendship ended because Ben's mom didn't approve of Travis's other friend's meanness towards Ben's autistic brother Johnny. | |

RWBY: When Team RWBY first meets Penny, Ruby's casual 'Farewell, friend' as she leaves causes Penny to immediately latch on to her because no-one has ever called her 'friend' before. Ruby and Penny end up becoming true friends, which allows Penny to confide in Ruby a secret she knows General Ironwood doesn't want people to know about and which her own team-mates, whom she describes as having been forced to spend time with her, also don't know. At the school dance, Pyrrha explains to a surprised Jaune that no-one asked her to come to the dance because everyone assumes she's out of their league. She states that Jaune is the first person who has ever treated like she was normal instead of a celebrity. He is therefore the first true friend she's ever been able to make and is the reason she's been able to make other friendships that will, in her words, 'last a lifetime'. She then admits to Jaune that, for this reason, she wishes she was going to the dance with someone like him. In a significantly darker example, Cinder was the first "friend" that her minion Emerald ever had. She recruited her from the streets and saved her from a life of poverty and hunger, which Emerald mistook for genuine love and attached to because she had nothing to compare it to. Even while it becomes increasingly clear that Cinder's level of evil is something Emerald finds deeply disturbing, her misplaced loyalty keeps her bound to Cinder. In Volume 8, Cinder abandons all pretense of caring about her, and Emerald abandons her soon after. |

In the second episode of Cadfael, Liliwin is a minstrel and Rannilt is a young maid. They are treated poorly by their employers and ignored by everyone else, owing to their bottom-of-the-barrel social positions. They share a meal in the kitchen at a feast where both are working, and afterward each independently tells Brother Cadfael that the other was the first to ever speak kindly to them. | |

Dragon Ball Bulma was the first companion Goku ever made, since Goku had lived his entire life alone after his Grandpa Gohan died. She was one who set the stage for his journey to find the Dragon Balls, becoming his first traveling companion and the one who introduced him to the outside world. Piccolo, when he was still an enemy of Goku and forced into an alliance to fight their common foe in the Saiyans, originally kidnapped Goku's son Gohan both to train him to fight the upcoming threat and to also corrupt him in his image. Ironically, this allowed him to find his first friend in Gohan due to the boy's kindness and Incorruptible Pure Pureness, which set him on the path to good and becoming True Companions with the very man he was born to kill. Fat Buu's first friends ended up being both his dog Bee and none other than Mr. Satan. Before, Buu only had Bibidi and Babidi telling him to kill and destroy, something he follows even after their deaths because that's all he knows what to do. Mr. Satan originally only got close to him to try and kill him, but he hesitates when he sees Buu playing with Bee (who ends up being the first to never run from Buu, mainly because Buu healed him). Once Mr. Satan learns of Buu's reason for killing, he is able to convince him to stop by telling him it's a bad thing to do, something Buu immediately agrees to do. This friendship brings out the best in both of them, allowing them to contribute in destroying Kid Buu and become great allies to the Z-Fighters. Broly (who is now incorporated in canon with a more sympathetic portrayal) had Bah, one of the native wildlife on the planet he was stranded on. He managed to tame the beast, but Broly's father Paragus shot off Bah's ear and scared him away. Broly has worn the ear as a pelt ever since. |

When Harry, Ron, and Hermione visit her home in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, they find pictures of themselves, Ginny, and Neville painted on her walls, linked by chains of the word "friends".

Ayakashi Triangle: Suzu and Matsuri are Childhood Friends who bonded over their shared ability to see ayakashi. Before then, Suzu was quite isolated because no one believed her about them, but has since grown to be fairly socially adept. What she didn't realize is that Matsuri didn't have any friends back then either, and his social skills later degraded so much, Suzu would remain his Only Friend until high school. Once informed of this, Suzu pushes Matsuri to at least make friends with the rest of her friends. | |

When Charity breaks off their telepathic contact, he tearfully tells her that she was the first real friend that he ever had.

Before, the two of them started out as blank slates without any memories (Roxas due to being born without inheriting Sora's memories, and Xion due to having just been created). Once Axel becomes a Big Brother Mentor to them, and the two find companionship in each other, Roxas and Xion are able to grow as people and form their own identities over time as a result of forming hearts within them. | |

Persona 5 Ann, as a part foreign girl, had trouble making friends in Japan. That changed when she met Shiho, who, by criticizing her art, was the first person who didn't immediately bring up Ann's looks. Ann also met Ryuji at this time, but didn't truly become friends with him until after they became Phantom Thieves. In Futaba's Confidant it's revealed that long before she met and joined the Phantom Thieves, she was a lonely victim of bullying in her childhood, until she met a girl named Kana, who decided to say hello to her every day. One day, Futaba responded in kind, and the two became close friends until Futaba accidentally caught a glimpse of Kana's diary, which revealed Kana's awful family life. Futaba speaking to Kana about it resulted in a rift forming between the two, which only healed years later after Futaba helped change Kana's parents' hearts, and contacted Kana to apologize. |

While Maka initially fought Crona as an enemy, learning about their backstory has her express sympathy for them as she extends a hand of friendship to them. Maka's kindness towards Crona causes them to change sides, and while their moral standing differs between the manganote Medusa manipulates Crona into coming back to her side and continues her plan to turn Crona into a Kishin. and the animenote Crona runs away from DWMA out of guilt, but is given a chance to set things right., Maka's friendship with Crona remains their most potent bond, enough to actually commit a Heroic Sacrifice in the manga for her sake. | |

Hinata was a lot like Naruto in her youth, someone who was seen as a failure throughout her childhood and destined to remain that way. Seeing Naruto's determination and kindness motivated her to keep trying to improve herself, eventually changing her feelings towards Naruto from admiration to love. The Last: Naruto the Movie reveals that Hinata first met Naruto when he went out of his way to help her when she was being bullied, despite not knowing her at all. This event would lead Hinata to develop her admiration for Naruto, becoming the first person to believe in him and setting in stone the events that lead to their friendship and growing love. | |

In the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Bucky Barnes is presented as Steve Rogers' first friend. In pre-serum scenes, Bucky is kind towards and protective of Steve even when everyone else picks on him or overlooks him due to his sickly nature and stunted stature. In Captain America: The First Avenger, he gets along well with the Howling Commandos and Howard Stark and has a subtle romance with Peggy Carter. In the present day, Steve is shown to canonically be fairly close with Black Widow and Falcon and also on friendly terms with most of the other Avengers. However, in Captain America: Civil War he is very vocal about Bucky's status as his first true friend. | |

Harry Potter: Rubeus Hagrid is the one who introduced Harry to the Wizarding World, as well as the first to treat him with kindness after Harry had to spend an entire childhood under an abusive household. Hagrid would remain an important figure throughout Harry's time at Hogwarts, both as an adult and and as a friend. In terms of kids his age, Harry's first friend would be Ron Weasley, who would go on to become his Best Friend and future brother-in-law. Ron becomes an important companion throughout the series, being one of Harry's greatest supporters. Luna Lovegood was considered to be "loony" by her classmates and ostracized until she was recruited into Dumbledore's Army in Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. When Harry, Ron, and Hermione visit her home in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, they find pictures of themselves, Ginny, and Neville painted on her walls, linked by chains of the word "friends". This implies that she had never had friends before. |

Steven Universe: The titular protagonist ends up being this to a lot of characters with Friendless Backgrounds. Steven would become an important figure in these characters, and his friendship with those characters helps them to grow as people. Connie Maheswaran, Steven's Implied Love Interest, didn't have any friends until she met him. After their first adventure together, the two become inseparable best friends, which allows Connie to grow more confident and assertive throughout the series. Lapis Lazuli was trapped in a mirror for 5,000 years, treated as a tool until she met Steven who was the first to talk to her as a person. Ever since he freed her and healed her gem, Steven served as Lapis's Morality Pet and she becomes fiercely protective of him. Peridot was originally an enemy of the Crystal Gems, but when she is left stranded on Earth and forced to cooperate with the Crystal Gems to stop the Cluster from forming, Steven became the first to treat her with kindness and shows her the beauty of Earth, which causes Peridot to have second thoughts about the Earth's destruction. When she sees Yellow Diamond will not change her mind about destroying Earth, her Heel–Face Turn is solidified. These events would never have happened had Steven not reached out to her, and he becomes the first person Peridot expresses concern for besides herself. |

She's the first person Geo reaches out to, and the sheer fact they both lost a parent is what allows them to understand each other after Geo (as Mega Man) fights Sonia as Harp Note. It's even lampshaded how she's the first person to form a connection with Geo after he spend some time isolating himself from people. | |

The reason why he became obsessed with the paranormal and aliens is the rationale that since no humans had thus far shown him friendship, he might as well settle on aliens.

Naruto: Naruto's first friend would happen to be his teacher from the Ninja Academy, Iruka Umino. He was the first to treat Naruto like a person rather than a monster or outcast. His belief in Naruto is what allowed the latter to finally master the Shadow Clone Jutsu, allowing him to graduate from the academy. Iruka would remain a supporting figure in Naruto's life since. Naruto tends to be this to a lot of people throughout his journey, helping them to change for the better and grow as people. Gaara was what Naruto could have become had he remain a outcast, without any supporting figures in his life. Naruto overcoming him and explaining how he gains his strength from his friends and loved ones caused Gaara to change his outlook on life, becoming a loyal friend and a great leader to his village. Hinata was a lot like Naruto in her youth, someone who was seen as a failure throughout her childhood and destined to remain that way. Seeing Naruto's determination and kindness motivated her to keep trying to improve herself, eventually changing her feelings towards Naruto from admiration to love. The Last: Naruto the Movie reveals that Hinata first met Naruto when he went out of his way to help her when she was being bullied, despite not knowing her at all. This event would lead Hinata to develop her admiration for Naruto, becoming the first person to believe in him and setting in stone the events that lead to their friendship and growing love. It's strongly implied that Obito's first friend was his teammate, Rin Nohara, the first person to show him strong support in his goal to become the Hokage. Obito fell in love with Rin, which unfortunately would cause him to become the Big Bad when he sees Kakashi impale Rin, causing his Start of Darkness as he seeks to replace reality with an illusion. |

My Hero Academia: Izuku Midoriya spent the last ten years of his life as a Bully Magnet due to being born without the superpowers everyone else has. His first real, supportive friend is his idol, All Might, who encourages him through thick and thin and tries to guide Izuku towards becoming a hero. Once Izuku arrives at U.A., his first friend his age is Ochaco Uraraka, who turns his Embarrassing Nickname into an Appropriated Appellation and brings him out of his shell with her constant cheeriness and support for him. Katsuki Bakugo's callous and crude attitude quickly alienates him from most of his peers at U.A., who call him out for being a Jerkass. His first friend there (aside from Izuku, whom he constantly dismisses, and his two lackeys from junior high) is Eijiro Kirishima, who looks past his prickly exterior and admires his pride and strength. This actually becomes a plot point during the Hideout Raid arc, as Eijiro is the only person Katsuki trusts enough to accept help from without it hurting his pride when rescuing him from the League of Villains. |

Ender's Game: In the original novel of the series, Ender's first friend at the Battle School is Shen, since they both bond over being bullied by Bernard and stick close for protection. Unfortunately for Ender, the teachers are trying to groom him into their champion and separate them so that Ender won't grow dependent. Ender's Shadow: Bean initially doesn't make any friends at the Battle School, which causes the teachers to worry about his ability to work as a team. When he realizes he's being monitored, he decides to open up, and makes friends with Nikolai, a student he had previously dismissed as mediocre but who actually has some smart insights. And as it turns out, Bean is actually Nikolai's long lost brother. |

In My Next Life as a Villainess: All Routes Lead to Doom!, Catarina is this to several characters, and this is why she (unwittingly) resolved the cast's problems. The list include: Mary, as Catarina was the first person to approach her with kindness as her half-siblings treated her like crap, mostly because her mother is of a lower class than theirs. Sophia, as Catarina becomes the first person besides her brother to look past her "shameful" appearance and see her as the gentle soul she really is. In Catarina's past life as the "wild monkey", she was Atsuko's first friend, and helped her leaving her Friendless Background caused by Atsuko having No Social Skills. What's probably not coincidential is that the aforementioned Sophia is Atsuko's reincarnation. Slightly Downplayed in Maria's case, since Catarina isn't her first friend in her entire life, but pretty much any friends she may have was more than ten years, when the discovery of her light magic caused her to be isolated from her peers. |

Their friendship started when Chinami and her son welcomed Saki and her daughter Hana with food. Saki and Chinami's friendship is built on the fact that they are both single mothers raising their children whose parents threw them out of the house. Chinami is also a kind and caring person who genuinely cares about Saki and wants to be her friend. Saki thanked Chinami for being her friend and confessed that Chinami was the first friend she made. Chinami admitted that she was glad to be friends with Saki since she was being lonely with no one to befriend. | |

She's also one of the first friends Ayla has had in her own age group, as besides her adoptive sister Uba she mostly hung around with older people. Her friendship with Deegie gives her someone to easily relate to and helps her to integrate with Cro-Magnon society. | |

Son of the Sannin: Naruto and Hinata are both this for each other, having become friends shortly after entering the academy. This proves to have a major effect on both of them, curbing Naruto's attention seeking habits enough to be on good terms with his other classmates, and giving Hinata a much needed confidence boost. Much like with their canon counterparts, this ends up developing into a Childhood Friend Romance. Fu's first real friends were the members of the Animal Squad (Shino, Tamaki, and Kiba), having met them shortly before the Chunin exams when they were on a mission in Takigakure. Even after befriending the rest of the Konoha 15, she stays the closest to the three of them (especially Shino, who she ends up in a Long-Distance Relationship with). |

Spike would become this to Ember and Thorax, the future Dragon Lord and Changeling King respectively. Spike's kindness and offer of friendship would end up helping them become the rulers their people needed, allowing them to establish stable bonds with the rest of Equestria. |

Pokémon: The Series: Ash Ketchum's first friend at the start of his journey was none other than Pikachu. Until they got attacked by a flock of Spearow, Pikachu was antagonistic towards Ash, but seeing try to protect him from the flock caused Pikachu to come to his aid. Ash doing everything he can to help him is what allows Pikachu to treat Ash for the better, and since then, they become the best of friends. Even before that, there was Gary Oak, who he had a falling-out with. They made up, but it took a long time. Ash also qualifies as a First Friend himself for plenty of his companions, such as Serena, Misty and Clemont, all of whom had difficulty forming any friendships before he came along. Dawn has Kenny and Leona. Iris has Shannon, who was also her only human friend for quite a while. With Goh, it's a little unclear who was his First Friend. We have Koharu, who was chronologically his first friend, but there's some debate on whether Goh saw their relationship like this. There's Tokio from Episode 32 with whom he became fast friends before Tokio disappeared from his life without explanation, and Ash, with whom he might have the closest bond, but came into Goh's life long after the other two. Notwithstanding that, one of the Idiosyncratic Ship Names for him and Ash is FirstFriendShipping. Arguably each of them fit at least one of the three variations of this trope. |

Major: At the start of the story, Goro Honda isn't particularly close to any of the other children in the kindergarten, since none of them shares his interest in baseball. His first actual friend is Toshiya Sato after he drags him into playing with him. As they grow older, their relationship turns into a Friendly Rivalry since the two are often playing for different teams, though they prove themselves to be very effective when playing as teammates, and they constantly push one another to reach new heights. | |

In Warrior Cats: Firepaw was friends with his neighbor Smudge before joining the Clans. He encounters Smudge in the forest sometime afterward, and Tigerclaw questions Firepaw's loyalty to ThunderClan for not chasing him off. In Tree's Roots, Tree's first friend was Stream, a tom the same age as him. Since the group they were born to made toms leave at the age of six moons, Tree had expected the two of them to wander together, but Stream's sudden death meant that Tree had to begin his journey utterly alone. |

Usagi Tsukino from Sailor Moon is Ami Mizuno's and Rei Hino's first friend of their own age. Ami (in the anime) had an old gardener as a friend and Rei had an older relative, but otherwise they were almost entirely isolated due to Ami's intelligence and Rei's supernatural powers. Makoto Kino had a couple of friends before the series proper but Usagi is her first friend at their shared school since everyone else is afraid of Makoto. It's actually brought up in the first season finale and the R movie that Usagi approached them and didn't shy away from them despite various misconceptions and rumors. | |
