A main character of K-On!. She is often referred to as "Azu-nyan" by her mates.
The youngest and newest member of the Light Music Club, joining in her freshman year (with her other bandmates already in their second year). Like bandmate Hirasawa Yui, Azusa is also a guitarist, but with years of experience at hand compared to the former, playing a Fender Mustang. While trying to act as the straight girl of the band who often finds herself bewildered by her bandmates' lax habits, she also has a weakness for cakes and is rather easily placated, often by being petted. In her third year, she forms a new band named Wakaba Girls with Hirasawa Ui and Suzuki Jun.
