That's right. Here's more aqours family lore I know (hit char limit):

Shuka:
She has 2 older brothers and 1 older sister. Her whole family loves basketball, she's the only one who doesn't play basketball. Shuka likes shounen manga because she would always snatch her brothers' manga. She gave her oldest brother Valentine's chocolate before but he didn't give her a return gift on White Day, so she didn't do it again after that. Her mom has mentioned that her brothers love her more than she thinks though. When Shuka's older sister had children around 2019, Shuka moved back home to help her take care of the kids for a few years. So they consider her like a parent. Shuka loves yapping to her family members, but her mother is an even bigger yapper. She's born in the 80s and only responds to "Mama". If Shuka or her siblings tries calling her anything else, they get ignored. Her family LOVES animals. They've had 5 birds, 3 dogs, a hedgehog, a snake, and a sugar glider.

Rikyako:
Her parents got divorced really early, she doesn't even remember her dad. She was raised by her mom and her grandparents, but when she was a kid she always wished she could have a warm family since they weren't really affectionate at all. She would spend most days alone and was extremely good at origami because it was how she entertained herself. Her mother is also really young, she got married at 19 and had children at 20. When Rikyako was a teen, they'd argue and get into physical fights. Her mother was strict, always threatening to snap her flip phone in half. She wanted Rikyako to work in the entertainment industry so she had her do junior idol work and formed a comedy stand up duo with her. When Rikyako became inspired to do voice acting, her mother was disappointed because she wanted Rikyako to be a more public figure. But over time she realized her job is good and now she is a big supporter, buying pretty much all the Riko merch she can find. One time at a birthday event, Rikyako was showing the audience a childhood photo and she couldn't remember what age she was in the picture, so she called out to her mother in the audience and her mother responded with the answer.

Aikyan:
Her mom is literally her best friend. Her mom is also literally everyone else's best friend. Her mom texts Shuka's mom very often and they go on outings together. The 2 moms even have the same fashion sense, they'll show up in practically the same outfit. Aikyan's mom is also friends with Asamin's mom. She had Aikyan at 19 and is half Korean and half Okinawan, making Aikyan a quarter Korean and a quarter Okinawan. Aikyan's mom leaves for work before Aikyan so one of their dogs Laila gets really lonely. Laila will scratch at Aikyan's door until Aikyan wakes up. Then Laila makes Aikyan follow her into her mom's room. Then Aikyan sleeps with Laila on her mom's bed with Laila on her shoulder. Aikyan and her mom love watching shows together, a funny story is that they watched "Ossan's Love" together, which is a romcom about gay older men and they would squee whenever the guys kissed. Aikyan's mom and her grandparents watch all of Aikyan's streams to the point that her grandpa calls Aikyan "Kyan" now even though her family has always called her "Ai-chan". Aikyan's mom likes being in the background of Aikyan's streams from home, you can hear her voice here: https://youtu.be/YhZ-wlMKAMw?si=4XrkO8nRDp61LpxZ&t=2723.. Aikyan grew up with a cousin like 4 years younger than her that she considers a younger sister. That cousin still calls Aikyan "Ai nee-chan" to this day. At first, Aikyan's mom was supporting of her wanting to be a singer but got concerned after Aikyan was unemployed for years. When Aikyan told her mom that she was going to perform in Tokyo Dome for the first time, she felt like that was the first time she was able to repay her mother. Wholesome letter from Kyan's mother here: https://youtu.be/XBuaMhtp7kA?si=e8la4-OEetClm3Ox&t=3279

Furi:
She has a younger brother and younger sister. She was pretty much the sole provider for her siblings when she grew up. They've gone through poverty, she was still sharing a bed with her sister as an adult. She didn't tell her family what her job was until Aqours' first Tokyo Dome performance.

Kinchan:
Kinchan had a rough childhood because of her adjustment disorder. It started when they had to move houses into a janky part of town. Kinchan couldn't handle the change and started skipping school. It stressed out her mother because she didn't know how to fix it, so they would argue and their relationship strained. Kinchan ended up attending an online school to finish her education. They are a lot closer now though. Kinchan's mother would listen to Kinchan's radio show and was relieved to hear that Kinchan didn't hate her and actually remembered good times they had together.

Ainya:
Her sister is a seiyuu. Her parents own a restaurant and it's filled with their merch.
