No source-recorded co-occurrence found
No published JMnedict written form in the current reference corpus contains both 友 and 直 under the selected name-type filter.
Evidence boundary
Co-occurrence is not popularity or etymology
The pair relation comes from exact JMnedict source rows through the compact kanji-usage index. KANJIDIC2 contributes character metadata only. A high corpus count can reflect dictionary coverage and should not be read as a national usage frequency.
