Kendall has a crush on Jo from the very beginning she came to L.A. and by insisting on Jo to give him a chance they soon after become a couple. They keep the longest relationship on the series until Jo accepts a three-year movie deal to New Zealand and moves there (thus breaking up with Kendall). Kendall goes into heartbreak after Jo leaves. However, with his friends' help, he is able to get back on his feet. Kendall is the only one who never caught "Hollywood Fever", which turned out to be a subconscious manifestation of homesickness, because he never lost touch with the life and hobbies he had in Minnesota. Although he takes his work seriously, Kendall loves to joke around and is usually hyper. He tends to stand up for himself and likes to talk back and be sarcastic. He is kind, helpful and always there for his friends and also he is shown to be good at maintaining relationships, as he shares great friendships with the boys, his sister and his mother. In the season 2 finale "Big Time Move" while he was singing Lucy winked at him and he seemed to be slightly shocked. In season 3 "Big Time Returns", Kendall had to run around the Palm Woods in his underwear because he talked to Lucy when James called dibs on her. In "Bel Air Rush", Kendall and all the guys move to Bel Air but want to escape. So Kendall and Logan find a way to escape back to L.A. In Big Time Double Date Kendall helps Lucy lie to her parents about Lucy being on a violin scholarship. But in the end Lucy's mom and dad find out the truth so Kendall decides that he, James, Carlos, Logan and Lucy should play the song Cover Girl. While dining with all the guys Lucy holds Kendall's hand which Kendall doesn't mind. It seems Kendall might have feelings for Lucy. In Big Time Merchandise Kendall, and the others, wanted to sell their own better merchandise for Selmart. In Big Time Surprise he and Lucy share their first kiss but are interrupted by Jo who has come back to the Palm Woods, forcing him to decide between the two. In the end, he chose Jo. Lucy eventually decides to leave, but returns in Season 4 after releasing a hit album and things onward are very awkward but they managed to stay on good terms throughout the rest of the series after Lucy decided not to exposed Kendall as a jerk on television.

James Diamond (James Maslow) is the pretty boy of Big Time Rush. He is the one who originally wanted to be a star when the boys were just four hockey players in Minnesota. James is shallow, driven, sometimes an airhead, and, like Logan, sometimes panics under pressure, but is a good friend, and he always looks out for his bandmates. He is the second-to-youngest member of the group before Kendall. James loves wearing bandanas and has an alter-ego known as Bandana-Man, which is just him wrapped in purple bandanas. James always has personal head shots of himself which he carries along, wherever he goes. Of his bandmates, he is closest to Carlos, whom he loves to play video games and goof around with. He is described as solid-voiced and driven beyond belief. Though he is conceited, James can also be caring and think of others. He is shown as a ladies' man, usually dating one girl or the other. He is very muscular. According to Carlos, he always gets the girls and declares himself the "pretty one". He accidentally shared a kiss with Camille while practicing a romantic play, but still remained good friends. He supports the band as best as he can and loves having fun. He is also shown to be overprotective of Katie, revealing that he sees her as a little sister. His mother, Brooke (played by soap opera veteran Lisa Rinna), is considered the "Estee Lauder of the Midwest" for her successful cosmetics line. She wanted to take James to be the CEO of her cosmetic line but the boys and their moms found a way for James to be kept in L.A. It is revealed though that he has trouble saying no to her and is a Mama's boy. His parents are divorced and apparently his dad is remarried to some woman that is fifteen years younger than he is, so his parents don't talk. However, James' dad was revealed in Big Time Concert, and had a small speaking role. Though his name wasn't revealed, one could tell it was James' dad by the way he dressed and acted. In "Big Time Interview", it is revealed that James started singing and dancing at age two and starting using hair care products at age three. It is also revealed in Big Time Movie that James is afraid of heights. In season 3 Big Time Returns James called dibs on Lucy Stone and kept pestering her. When he asked her out Lucy said she just wanted to be friends which meant no. In Bel Air Rush James wanted to escape from Bel Air back to L.A. like everyone else. In Big Time Double Date James wanted Carlos' date with a Jennifer to go perfect so he dressed as a waiter at the fancy restaurant Carlos and Jennifer were dining in. In Big Time Merchandise James and Logan made Big Time Rush perfume for Sam Selmart. He went from having long hair (Season 1) to having medium-length hair (Season 2), short hair (Season 3) and really short hair without a fringe (Season 4). In Big Time Dreams he finally gets to kiss Lucy, which leads them to start dating at the end.

Such as seen in Big Time Break-Up when Jo leaves for three years she tries to cheer him up. Throughout the series it is shown that she can be quite devious and often does things for money. She loves her brother and he is very protective of her. She has helped out Kendall multiple times as well as James, Carlos, and Logan. She is also shown to have a friendship with Gustavo and Kelly helping them out numerous times. EX: Helping Gustavo figure out what a song means, helping him with his writer's block, and helping him find out her mom's secret family Snickerdoodle recipe (because it helped him write a better song and he could not stop thinking about them, but mainly because Kelly promised to give her a hundred dollars).

Gustavo Kramer Rocque (Stephen Kramer Glickman) is a world-renowned but hot tempered record producer who auditions the boys in Minnesota and brings them to L.A. to make them stars. He is the founder and head of Rocque Records, a division of RCMCBT Global Net Sanyoid CorporationBefore Big Time Rush, he had twenty-nine platinum albums, including ones he made with a previous boy band, "Boy Quake". He's cliche and always has a frown on his face while the boys are performing, even when he likes the song. He has also been the butt of several fat jokes. At first he couldn't stand James, stating that he reminds him of Matthew McConaughey, whom he hates. However, this changed as the series went on. He admits to liking the boys after dealing with an absolutely perfect boy band that he hated because they were so perfect. He affectionately refers to the boys as his "dogs" because of an encounter in "big time audition". His mansion has a fridge filled with pudding. He has little patience for things. He does not eat pulled pork. So far Gustavo has landed a record deal, produced an album, recorded with Jordin Sparks and beat his all-time nemesis Hawk, finally forcing him to admit to Kelly that the boys are his good luck charms. Gustavo is an excellent piano player. Kelly reveals to the guys that Gustavo didn't have a normal childhood, having been forced by his mother to spend all of his time playing piano and never being allowed to play like normal kids. Gustavo reveals that he has been banned from all hotels in Los Angeles, along with Russell Crowe, Aerosmith, and the "original host of Blue's Clues" (Steven Burns). He often acts annoyed by the boys, however, it is implied that he considers them part of his family. In Big Time Camping the boys want to camp out but Gustavo gets worried about their safety.
