When using "-chan", certain names that end in "u" or "a" are shortened. For example, Michiru becomes Michi-chan and Mamoru becomes Mamo-chan. I'm not sure exactly how this rule works, I think it's mainly based on what sounds right. Also, it's used mainly for little kids. That's why you don't often seen an adult character calling another one by the -chan suffix altho you can always cheat a bit and use it anyway.
