Profile[]
Background[]
Azumi was born in Fuuma village. A ninja village hidden in a forest maze to keep out ordinary people and intruders. The village is isolated from the world and is secretly protected by its ninjas. Her parents died at some point when she was young from some sort of incurable disease or sickness. The Oshitari family descended from the Fuuma clan, and as part of it, Azumi was taught in the arts of ninjutsu at a very young age. This includes the use of many weaponry, trap making, survival, espionage, assassination, precision, martial arts, subterfuge, leadership, and other countless ninja arts. Azumi also took care many animals during her youth as part of her training. Observing, analyzing, and learning from their behavior.
The Fuuma Ninja clan trained their young with the clan's secret methods to become deadly specialists who they then sell to the highest bidder. But it is more of a final trial rather than slavery. And after a few years of servitude, the Fuuma ninjas were free to do as they please. Azumi was sold to a mercenary group. She underwent many missions and participated many battles during her time as a mercenary. One of her missions took her in the Middle East, met her future co-worker, Stacy, on the battlefield, and even fought side with Germany's finest, Lieutenant Margit Eberbach.
At some point, Azumi went on an undercover operation and deliberately got herself thrown in prison, only to wound up ruling the roost and became head prisoner in a short amount of time. Gaining her nickname, the "Queen Bee".
The Fuuma ninjas are tough and deadly. Azumi even once went on an undercover operation and deliberately got herself thrown in prison, only to wound up ruling the roost and became head prisoner in a short amount of time. Nicknamed the "Queen Bee".
After serving her years of servitude, Azumi was released and she returned back to her village. While there, she was in-charge of taking care of everyone and became a part-time teacher. She also raised medicinal herbs there as a hobby. But after some time, she stumbled upon a terrorist attack. But before she was able to do something about situation, she was saved by Hideo Kuki. Witnessing the bravado of her savior, Azumi fell in love for the first time. Since then, she harbored deep feelings for him.
Appearance[]
Azumi has brown eyes and short brown hair. She is always seen wearing her maid uniform. On her days off, she occasionally wears glasses.
In her own route, after the time-skip, her appearance changed a bit. Her hair has grown longer and she also has a bang over her forehead.
Personality[]
As the personal maid of Hideo, she's never set her eyes away from him, but she also fulfills the request of other members of the Kuki family (Ageha is the one who usually asks for her aid).
Azumi always shows a sweet personality towards Hideo. But when he is not looking, she shows a bossy, sadistic and intimidating personality to almost anyone who intends to annoy or insult Hideo, including 2-S classmates.
However, in the Kuki related routes as well as her own route, despite taking her work seriously, she is surprisingly easygoing and friendly with her fellow maids and butlers, especially with Stacy Connor and Jinchu Lee, making her very popular with them. Furthermore, when Yamato joins the Kuki Corporation, she is supportive and respectful of him to the point that she can talk to him in confidence while in on-and-off duty, even to the point of drinking together with him. She is also very sensitive when it comes to her age and looks, mostly due to being teased when she was young.

Majikoi! A-1[]
Azumi's Route[]
Following the future where Yamato continues to work for the Kuki Corporation as Monshiro Kuki's personal butler, Yamato steadily improves himself while building connections within the organization. Being Azumi's underling he takes a role of being a counselor to her of sorts. Wishing to make her stagnant love life move forward he advises her on how to make her unrequited love with her master, Kuki Hideo, blossom. Seeing that her feelings do not reach him and taking notice of the different sides of her during the attempt, Yamato realizes he has feelings for her. Yamato then undertakes the time consuming labor of making Azumi his lover.
Powers and Abilities[]
Being the number 1 ranked maid and also Kuki Hideo's personal servant, she is skilled in both combat and household manners. Along with having great cooking skills and comfortable massages, she also does the majority of the administration work to other Kuki members all around the world. She is very intelligent being part of the elite 2 S-Class in Kawakami Academy.
Her most noticeable skill and abilities are as a high level kunoichi of the Fūma clan. Before she was part of the Kuki Corporation, she lived in a ninja village deep in the forest where she grew up as a full fledged ninja, earning the respect of the elder and her peers. As a member of the Fūma Clan, Azumi is trained in the arts of shinobi, using dual kodachi, kunai and senbon in battle. She knows how to hide her presence, ambush enemies, and sense enemies, even those that are camouflaged. She is known to possess a high level of speed, which was shown when she won the Stamp Rally on foot in the original Majikoi! Visual Novel. She takes advantage of her maid uniform to hide all her weapons. Azumi is a veteran when it comes to battle and war. And according to Stacy, "Azumi never failed to get back alive, not even on the battlefield". That proves of how talented and skilled the Fuuma ninjas trained their people.
Next to that, she was also part in many wars and battles, making her possess high combat experience and tactics. Momoyo Kawakami has mentioned that even while relaxed, she doesn't have any openings. Some examples of her skills include:
Enhanced Strength: As shown in all medias, her strength is quite remarkable. She can easily pull a rickshaw with great speed while carrying a person on it.
Immense Speed: Next to her strength, she has also a considerable amount of speed, as shown when she won the Stamp Rally on foot in Yukie's Route, even with others riding bikes, boards and skates at great speed. The best example of her speed is during the Kawakami War where she was the only one of the maid squad to be able to keep up with Yukie's speed for a time.
Yukie vs Azumi
Master Ninja: Her main weapons are her twin nodachis, being trained as a ninja since birth she can do many ninja like techniques like substitution, smokescreen and even cloning herself. She is also shown to be an expert at trap making and poisons, though she rarely uses them. Her substitution technique is just her using her uniform as a substitute and she always ends up in her maid-like swimsuit.
High Combat Skills: Thanks to her ninja training, she is skilled in both hand to hand combat as well as using weapons, although she prefers to use the latter in combination with throwing weapons like kunai and shuriken. Combined with her experience on the battlefield, it makes her a formidable opponent to go against.
