Concept[edit | edit source]
Etymology[edit | edit source]
Masaoka Azuki's name refers to a type of bean characterized by its red coloration, making reference to her overall color scheme and hair color.
For her VOCALOID4 release, her first name is rendered in hiragana (あずき).
Appearance[edit | edit source]
Azuki was illustrated by Hiro Kanzaki, thus having a moe style with rounded features that are characteristic of the illustrator's style. She has red hair tied in a bun or chignon held by an exotic floral hair tie. Due to her background within the game, she is usually depicted in casual or school-related outfits.
Official profile[edit | edit source]
Her birthday is June 11, she's a Gemini, and her blood type is O.[1] Azuki is described as being cheerful and positive unlike Matcha. She's very open towards her feelings and tends to act first and think later.
In Go! Go! 575!, she is made out to be an awfully forgetful but eccentric person and somewhat impatient. She is also affectionate, effusive, and "clingy" (according to Matcha), 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.
