Banjo's relationship with his younger sister [[Tooty]] probably hints that he cares for her deep down inside, since he did ask about her whereabouts when she was captured and the fact that of all the prizes won at the Furnace Fun in ''[[Banjo-Kazooie]]'', it was her he cared the most about taking. Banjo doesn't at all seem to mind Tooty's company, since he saw no problem when she began her flute solo in the opening of Banjo-Kazooie. | Banjo's relationship with his younger sister [[Tooty]] probably hints that he cares for her deep down inside, since he did ask about her whereabouts when she was captured and the fact that of all the prizes won at the Furnace Fun in ''[[Banjo-Kazooie]]'', it was her he cared the most about taking.

Banjo's relationship with Kazooie is tightly-knit and nearly inseparable, | Banjo's relationship with Kazooie is tightly-knit and nearly inseparable, despite at times feeling exasperated by her attitude and brash remarks towards the rest of the game cast. He can sometimes get fairly annoyed by her constant heckling and lets out small bursts of temper against her, such as when he growls angrily and attempts to pull her out of her pack during an idle animation in Banjo-Kazooie and Banjo-Tooie, though he's always quick to forgive her and apologize or shrug it off as an accident. He is constantly either apologizing to others on Kazooie's behalf or scolding her for being insensitive, (Most of these times exclaiming: "Kazooie!") such as when Kazooie remarked that Bottles wasn't a favorite character in Banjo-Kazooie after he had died by Grunty's magic hands. | ||
Banjo very clearly has a dislike for Gruntilda, as she has attempted to murder, kidnap and torture him for the sake of completing her own selfish goals.

He remains calm and level-headed, though often can be cocky in later games when seeing her. Banjo seems to have a mutual respect for Gruntilda and her powers, but is not afraid to stand up to her in most situations. | ||
