She is also affectionate, effusive and "clingy", according Matcha's words, often showing exaggerated displays of affection. She is shown to be scared of kites and would cower behind Matcha whenever one appears. Azuki also seems to be fond of food as she often suggests that they go to cafes, and even suggested they sing about hotcakes. Both she and Matcha seem to be oblivious to Yuzu's "fantasies" of the two.
