Character page for the members of the Autumn Troupe of A3!.

The Autumn Troupe (秋組; akigumi) is one of the MANKAI Company's four theater units, specializing in physically-oriented aggressive action plays.

The current generation is called the Reborn Autumn Troupe (新生秋組 shinsei akigumi), led by genius delinquent Banri Settsu. Their first play performed was The Roman Episode. Their representative color is orange.

Note: Characters on this page all have their names listed in Western order— given names followed by surnames.

---

• Badass Normal: Despite the abundance of superpowers in A6, Autumn Troupe incarnations are mainly Bare-Fisted Monks who rely on physical prowess.
• The Big Guy: The Autumn Troupe members, save for Taichi, are among the tallest actors in the entire company. In Taichi's "About to Bloom" backstage story, when Juza and Omi are practicing action stunts, Izumi highlights how the troupe has the physique to pull it off while Sakyo says that such action is the troupe's bread and butter.
• Designated Parents: The two adults of the group, Omi and Sakyo, tend to act as this to the teenaged members of Autumn Troupe. Their relationship when paired up for coin-earning is even listed as "Mom & Dad".
• Image Song: "oneXone" in Part 1 and "SECOND SHOT" in Part 2.
• Manly Man: While their plays occasionally dip into lighter territory (such as "Fire Up, Mantou Fist!", which is an action comedy), almost all of them center around hardened mercenary men in larger-than-life peril. Lampshaded by Muku, who is trying to be manlier for his role, during the Sardine Search practice mini-chat. However...
• Real Men Wear Pink: In contrast to the trope above, Autumn Troupe also has the largest amount of members who enjoy traditionally feminine hobbies. Sakyo is part of the Shoujo Manga Appreciation Club with Muku, Omi is by far the best cook in the company, and Azami is a passionate amateur makeup artist.
• Significant Birth Date: They all have birthdays during the Northern Hemisphere’s autumn (September-November).
• Sir Swears-a-Lot: Banri, Juza, Sakyo, and Azami's (as well as Omi's in flashbacks) dialogue in the English localization is liberally peppered with PG-13-level swears - a bit out of left field for an otherwise clean game.

Voiced by: Chiharu Sawashiro
Portrayed by: Kenta Mizue (2019-present)

A multi-talented, third-year high school delinquent whose boredom with his effortless lifestyle leads to him picking a fight with Juza Hyodo. After being defeated for the first time, Banri joins the Mankai Company under the Autumn Troupe to enact his revenge against Juza. Unexpectedly, Banri finds himself appointed the leader of the newly-formed troupe.

"My life's on super ultra easy mode. Ain't got a care in the world."

Age: 17 (Part 1), 18 (Part 2), 19 (Part 3)

Blood Tye: B

Occupation: Hanasaki High School student (Part 1), Veludo Arts University student (Part 2 & 3)

Hobbies: Games, Rubik's cubes

Image color: Gold

Motif flower: Cosmos

---

• Animal Motif: Has a very small one with big cats, via the pattern on his clothing and his April Fools animal being a jaguar. Big cats are revered for their power and are indeed great hunters, but also have no natural enemies and due to the need to spare energy for the hunt, end up sleeping a large part of the day. Other beings that can cause them a sweat are other big cats, and humans, of course. Coincidentally, the god that belongs to the Autumn season is the White Tiger.
• Break the Haughty: Much of the Autumn Troupe's first arc is about Banri realizing that he can't skate by on his natural talent, and that Juza will ultimately surpass him not just in theater, but in character as someone who's willing to work through his shortcomings.
• Broken Ace: He's able to do many things without effort. But that sense of easy victory made him feel lost, so he decided to pick fights with people outside of school until he lost to Juza. Even as he joined the troupe, he lacks the drive to get him interested in acting in the first place.
• Brilliant, but Lazy: Has great talent and is adaptable when the situation calls for it, but lacks the motivation for anything else until his first-ever loss at the hands of Juza. This is one of the reasons why Sakyo recommends Banri be Troupe leader, in hopes he'll develop a real passion for theater.
• Commonality Connection: He and Itaru bond over games and having overbearing older sisters.
• Desperately Looking for a Purpose in Life: Part of what makes him a Broken Ace. He is able to do things so easily he feels lost at what to do and end up trying a lot of things, losing interest once he feels that he had mastered it, and then picking fights with people outside of his school to find something that could excite him. That is, until he is defeated by Juza, experiencing the taste of defeat for the first time.
• Early-Bird Cameo: In the Anime, he made an appearance as Itaru's game opponent in episode 4 with the handle name "NEO".
• The Fashionista: Keeps up-to-date with all the latest fashion trends and enjoys buying clothes and accessories.
• Flower Motifs: Cosmos. They represent peace, order and the sincerity of a maiden.
• Image Song: "Super Ultra Easy Mode" and "RE:portrait".
• Instant Expert: Can learn anything almost instantly. He picks up acting just from watching the other prospect Autumn Troupe members' rehearsals, and ends up doing so well in his own rehearsal that Izumi asks for reconfirmation that Banri's never acted before.
  • One of Banri's training quotes mentions that his preferred method of studying for exams, which he always passes with flying colors, is to just flip through the textbook.
• Jack of All Trades: Has a great versatility to get into the roles he is given with ease, but his weakness is that he lacks the ability to empathize with the characters he is playing as.
• Odd Friendship: With the Nice Guy Tsumugi for their Valentine limited SSR. They get along over the fact that they like looking around cafes.
• Vitriolic Best Buds: By the end of Act 3, his relationship with Juza has become this.

Juza Hyodo

Voiced by: Shunsuke Takeuchi
Portrayed by: Taro Nakamura (2019-present)

Click ^here  to see him in the stage play and movies

A third-year high school student whose fierce looks, and quiet demeanor leads him to being mistaken as a delinquent. He is a long-time fan of theater, and was inspired by his cousin, Muku's performance in the Summer Troupe. Juza joins the Autumn Troupe with the earnest desire to improve his acting, putting him at odds with Banri.

"I'm gonna change myself through acting. I swear I will."

Age: 17 (Part 1), 18 (Part 2), 19 (Part 3)

Height: 185cm

Birthday: September 27

Blood Type: A

Occupation: Ouka High School student (Part 1), Yosei University student (Part 2 & 3)

Hobbies: Shopping for candy (it's a secret)

Image color: Grey

Motif flower: Red spider lily (Manjushage/Higanbana)

• Affectionate Nickname: Muku calls him "Ju-chan". But he will be embarrassed if anyone that is not Muku calls him that.
• Becoming the Mask: Literally. While he doesn't have the flexibility that Banri has, Juza is capable of understanding and empathizing with the characters that he played as, to the point of becoming said character and embody them as well. The rest of the troupe, including Banri, mentions that this is Juza's greatest strength in his acting.
• Be Yourself: In the past, Juza stated that he wanted to be an actor to be someone else. Effectively, he was running away from himself and it affected his self-esteem as an actor. Similar to Tsumugi, Juza had a bad habit of centering on what he lacked as an actor and used Banri as an example of what he should be. Makino, Izumi, and the Autumn Troupe reinforced that he had his own talents as an actor and should pursue his unique strengths.
• Big Brother Instinct: Fearing that Kumon may force himself to his limits again at the feeling of being pressured from the 4th play, he asked Tsuzuru to give him a copy of Summer Troupe's script so he can lighten Kumon's burden. Despite the fact that he isn't that good with comedy himself, he wants to help Kumon however he could.
  • This extends to his cousin Muku as well. He initially tries to distance himself from Muku so that Muku will not be affected by the stigma around him. Also, Juza is visibly pissed when Citron accidentally messes up Muku's Paw Pals cat in Sardine Search backstage.
• Determinator: A reason why Izumi gladly accepts him to the troupe. Juza starts off as the worst in the Autumn Troupe, but his passion for acting is so profound that he keeps studying, learning, and practicing just to get better. He even manages to impress Yuzo. He later majors in Theater to further improve upon his acting on a professional level.
• Face of a Thug: He's actually a Gentle Giant in personality but everyone around him is always scared of his rough appearance.
• Flower Motifs: Red spider lily. They represent death, abandonment, lost memory, and eternal separation (making him about the only member whose flower has predominantly negative meanings attached to it). They are also common symbols of autumn arriving.
• Gentle Giant: Lest you bring Banri into the mix.
• Image Song: "LONER" and "MIRAILIGHT".
• I Just Want to Be Special: He wants to be more than just a delinquent. He wants to change himself and the stigma of the Face of a Thug image that follows him. So when he saw his cousin, Shrinking Violet Muku, acting, he decided to take part in the audition for the Autumn Troupe.
• Sweet Tooth: He denies liking sweets, but he's not fooling anyone. He's the only person who can stand the "Kame Buns" Matsukawa tries to feed the newly-formed Autumn Troupe in the main scenario - everyone else who tries one finds them overpoweringly sweet, but Juza just keeps chowing down.
• Vitriolic Best Buds: With Banri after Act 3.
• You Are Better Than You Think You Are: Fallen Blood centered around Juza and his low self-esteem as an actor. It was palatable enough that everyone in the troupe and his workshop mentor, Makino, understood his lack of confidence as his main weakness as an actor. However, Omi took it upon himself to film everyone in the troupe and have them state what his strengths and weaknesses were to Juza to get an objective view of himself as an actor.
• Younger Than They Look: As a child, he was often mistaken for being older than he actually is due to his Face of a Thug appearance.
• You Remind Me of X: Juza reminds Sakyo of his younger self, and he reminds Omi of Nachi. Both Sakyo and Omi find points of similarity within Juza's awkward demeanor that contrasts with his appearance and his passion for acting.

A second-year high school student who auditions for the Autumn Troupe with the intent to be popular.

With his sociable nature, Taichi is a confident and comfortable actor on stage.

Height: 172cm

Birthday: October 11

Blood Type: O

Occupation: Ouka High School student (Part 1 & 2), Yosei University student (Part 3)

Hobbies: Reading the relationship corner in magazines

Image color: Hot pink

Motif flower: Pansy

---

• Animal Motif: Frequently likened to a puppy due to his energetic nature, his desire for affection, and his tendency to follow members that he admires.
• Because You Were Nice to Me: He ended up leaving the God Troupe because he felt that he truly belonged and be part of the stage while he's in Mankai Company and is treated as an equal by the rest of the actors and staff.
• Becoming the Mask: Initially joining as a spy, he ended up failing because he was treated far better in Mankai Company than his previous one.
• Casanova Wannabe: Downplayed. Taichi wants to be popular with girls, but is never disrespectful. His [Nothing Wrong With Being a Ghost!] card shows that Taichi could be popular, he is considered good-looking, but he tries too hard that it can be unattractive.
• Casual-Competitive Conflict: In-Universe. His outside work skit with Itaru. It's even titled "Free Gamer Vs. High Paying Gamer".
• Crosscast Role: Plays the female Zero in Stranger. At first, Taichi bases his performance on his perception of an ideal girl, but later bases his performance on his childhood first love to fit the apocalyptic, serious mood of the play.
• Demonic Possession: [Nothing Wrong With Being a Ghost!] has him being possessed by a jiang shi. Nothing bad happens, except that troupe members are taken aback by the significant change in personality. He returns to normal after Muku purifies him with a talisman.
• Dye Hard: His original hair color is black before he decided to dye his hair to get people to notice.
• First Love: Yuki apparently reminds him of his first love, Taichi's childhood neighbor who was good at needlework and "talked like one of the guys" despite being a girl. Everyone else seems to realize that that neighbor was most definitely Yuki, but it takes Taichi until Fire Up! Mantou Fist to figure it out.
• Flower Motifs: Pansy. They represent thoughts, and in specific, those about love and wanting a lover.
• Height Angst: Played seriously in Fire Up, Mantou Fist!, Taichi goes through a rough patch dealing with his lack of self-esteem as an actor, and the discrepancy in height and build from the other members adds to his insecurities. Usually, played for laughs. He expresses a desire to become taller, and Yuki likens Taichi to be the runt of the pack.
• I Just Want to Be Special: His motivation for becoming an actor is because he wants to be popular and noticed by others. Reni exploits this by promising to add him to the main cast of God Troupe's next play if he successfully sabotages Mankai Company's next play.
• Image Song: "Living the Dream" and "Make My Dream".
• Keet: Easily excitable, to the point that Yuki nicknamed him "Dog", and refers to him and Kazunari as the "Puppy Pair".
• The Mole: He is actually an actor from the God Troupe sent to sabotage Mankai Company's performance. He ends up crossing the God Troupe, however.
• My Greatest Failure: Considers his sabotaging of the stage acts in Act 3 as this, even as he finally attains his dream of becoming a main lead actor in the Fire Up! Mantou Fist event.
• They Killed Kenny Again: Taichi dies a lot in the plays, and it does not escape his notice. One of his practice lines is expressing shock at dying once more in a play.
• Verbal Tic: Adds "-ssu" to the end of his sentences and verbs. Said tic is copied by his troupe members in one year's April Fool's Day.
• Walking Spoiler: Yes, he's just a young boy who wants to be popular. There is absolutely nothing in his portrait and later half of the third act that reveal something about him and provide intriguing information, don't be ridiculous.
• You Are Better Than You Think You Are: Taichi lands his first leading role in Fire Up, Mantou Fist!, and is plagued by his insecurity. He has always been an "extra" both in life and in plays, and believed that he could never be a fitting leading man. The Autumn Troupe and Izumi convince him that he has many positive attributes that only he possesses and only he can utilize these strengths as an actor.

• Animal Motifs: Wolves. His old gang was known as "The Wolves" and he was once known as "Crazy Wolf" during his time in the gang. He also dons a wolf mascot costume when performing for a kindergarten and rescuing Azami from a rival gang in Act 7.
• Beware the Nice Ones: Pretty much everyone in the company considers him as one of their nicest and most reliable members. So don't get any ideas about messing with them, especially their director.
• Big Brother Instinct: He looks after the younger Autumn Troupe members like family. Especially apparent with their youngest member Taichi, whom Omi even tries to cover for after the reveal that Taichi was a mole from a rival troupe.
• Big Brother Mentor: Taichi especially looks up to him as one.
• Bonding over Missing Parents: The initial interactions between Azami and Omi are stilted and awkward. They resolve the tension when Omi brought up that he also lost his mother at a young age. Azami was raised in a household full of rough men, and he does not know how to approach gentle types like Omi. In addition, Omi's motherly nature brings up bittersweet memories of Azami's mother.
• Early-Bird Cameo: He was hired as a photographer for the Summer Troupe's debut play before he becomes part of the autumn troupe.
• Flower Motifs: Carnation. They represent mother's love ^note  Due to the legend that they bloomed from Mary's tears when her son was about to be crucified and are the motif flower of Capricorn.
• Former Delinquent: He used to be involved with gangs until he decided to reform when his best friend Nachi died.
• Gentle Giant: He is the tallest in the company and also a mild-mannered guy.
• Image Song: "Finder Goshi no Kizuna".
• Mean Character, Nice Actor: Is cast as a villain (or Anti-Hero, in the case of Wolf in Strangers) in many of Autumn Troupe's plays. The only aversions to this trope are his roles as Han in Fire Up, Mantou Fist! and Huey in Fallen Blood.
• Missing Mom: Omi's mother died when he was young, and he took on the household duties. Part of his caring persona is done to cope with the fact that he lost his mother, and trying to emulate the missing part of his life since he does not know what a mother should be like.
• Mr. Fanservice: He is muscular and well-built, and many cards show it off. One of which is a Naked Apron^note Downplayed as he's wearing a swimsuit underneath outfit that gives birth to the infamous Omi's Fuck House.
• Real Men Wear Pink: Raised in a household full of boys, Omi is a Gentle Giant Former Delinquent who cooks very well and sometimes helps Yuki in sewing.
• Red Baron: Was once called "The Crazy Wolf" of west Tokyo.
• Scars Are Forever: He has a scar on the right side of his chin, a remnant of the night he and his best friend were attacked by a rival gang.
• Team Mom: To Autumn Troupe, as well as Mankai Company in general. He took care of the housework and cooking for his family, and he goes on to become Mankai Company's resident chef when he joins. Yuki's nickname for him is even "Ma."
• Tragic Dream: Not his, but Omi wishes to honor the dream of Nachi and Nachi's parents. Nachi died before he could become an actor and his parents wished they could have seen his acting before his untimely passing.
• Younger Than They Look: One of Banri's practice quotes states that he doesn't believe that Omi is in university due to his appearance.

A yakuza member who was introduced as the debt collector for the Mankai Company. Sakyo is recruited by the Director due to his ties with the Mankai Theater running deeper than it initially appears. Despite his occupation, Sakyo is a competent actor, and a reliable man. After joining the Autumn Troupe, he handles the theater's finances and is known to be a stingy individual with a penchant for lectures.

• Amazingly Embarrassing Parent: A caretaker version; he surprisingly can be this to Azami, being able to list off funny stories from Azami's childhood at the drop of a hat, much to his great embarrassment.
• The Baby of the Bunch: Hard to believe that once upon a time, one of the oldest members of the current Mankai Company was this to the first-generation. He's still treated like a kid by the first generation, and they are the only people that can get away with messing with Sakyo.
• Blind Without 'Em: He frequently states that he needs his glasses to see. Without them, he trips into a pool that is directly in front of him in [Bringing the Beach to Mankai].
• Bookworm: He enjoys a variety of genres, and believes every printed medium has its merits. He was inspired by Yukio who advised him that widening one's literary interests would improve his acting.
• Cool Big Bro: To Sakoda, who, while not blood-related to Sakyo, greatly looks up to him. Taichi also sees Sakyo as one as well, as he calls him "Sakyo-nii," and views him as a role model. Their coin-earning chat is titled "I'll Follow You Forever!"
• Cutting Corners: In order to save money while accommodating to the needs of the dorm, Azami says that Sakyo is guilty of buying wholesale bargain products and watering down shampoo/conditioner/juice.
• Disappeared Dad: According to Yin Yang Midnight, Sakyo's father died from an illness when he was very young, therefore he has little memories of the man. But what little memories Sakyo has of the man revealed that he was a caring father. The people he considers his father figures include Yukio and the current head of the Ginsekai. His current father is his step father.
• Drill Sergeant Nasty: The start of Tales Of Chivalry: Ginji The Wanderer has him coach the other members of the Autumn Troupe like this.
• Early-Bird Cameo: Appears as early as the prologue as the yakuza that the company was indebted to.
• Feeling Their Age: He is one of the oldest members in the cast, and part of his character arc is overcoming the mentality that his age is a barrier to achieving his long-time dream of becoming an actor.
• The Finicky One: He's almost completely devoid of humor and is constantly stressed out about something. The overall stress he endures is why he enjoys popping bubble wrap as one of his outlets.
• Flower Motifs: Chrysanthemum. They represent hope in dark times and are the motif flower of Scorpio.
• Forgotten First Meeting: With Izumi. He once watched the company's practices in secret until Izumi, as a little girl, found him and brought him in to watch the practice together. Izumi was only around for one week in town then and they hadn't seen each other for about twenty years.
• Hero Antagonist: His desire to enforce the rules and keep the order of Mankai puts him in conflict with the others more often than not.
• Heroic Self-Deprecation: A lighter example. Taichi thinks Sakyo is the ultimate role model, because he's a smart and competent mature man. Sakyo thinks that Taichi should find a better role model.
• Hidden Depths: TALES OF CHIVALRY: Ginji the Wanderer revealed that Sakyo is a man that deeply respects, and cares for family. He saves money for his mother, and his younger sister to have good lives.
• Image Song: "Ame no Monologue".
• I Will Wait for You: In a Yin Yang Midnight flashback, a young Sakyo drew an omikuji slip with Izumi. The slip stated that he would one day meet Izumi again, and he kept it in the hopes that his wish would come true. His [Ornamental Milky Way] card stated that one of his wishes he wrote on a tanzaku slip when he was younger was to see Izumi again.
• Jerkass Has a Point: He can be very strict on Matsukawa, but he couldn't manage to keep Mankai afloat on his own.
• Jerk with a Heart of Gold: He genuinely loves acting and he cares deeply about the well-being of the company members. However, he prefers to keep it hidden behind a stuffy no-nonsense exterior. Even his own mother is not exempt from his occasional quips and roundabout nature!
• Last-Name Basis: With everyone except Azami (helped raised him but mostly calls him "boy"), Izumi (knew her father, and often just calls her by title), Citron, and Guy (both only have one name).
• Late-Arrival Spoiler: The game and official site spoil the fact that Sakyo becomes an actor in the company.
• Loan Shark: Introduced as one early in the story. This was because Sakyo doesn't want the theater that he is fond of to be destroyed and lose the one connection he has to the memory of Yukio and Izumi herself in extension, thus, he offered to lend the slowly failing company the Yakuza's money.
• Mean Boss: Initially so. Poor Izumi constantly had to bend her back over to his excessive bossiness without snapping.
• Meaningful Name: In Yin Yang Midnight, a flashback with Sakyo's father shows that he was named after a shrine where his father drew the greatest luck slip. His father then named him in the hopes that Sakyo would live a full and fulfilling life surrounded by people who would love him and his name.
• Momma's Boy: Due to being raised in a single mother household, he is close to his mother whom he deeply respects. His [Hiding in the Garden] card showed that he gets teary-eyed at displays of maternal love which reflects his own love for his mother.
• Papa Wolf: Messing with the Autumn Troupe (especially Azami), Mankai, and/or the director is generally ill-advised with him around.
• Parental Substitute: Sakyo was put in charge of Azami when Azami was about six and he was around his early twenties, due to Sakyo's boss being more often than not, out and about. And even with their now-strained relationship, Azami still sees him as a second father.
• Real Men Wear Pink: He likes reading Shoujo Manga, and is part of the troupe's Shoujo Manga Appreciation Club with Muku and Kazunari.
• Shared Family Quirks: According to his mother in Yin Yang Midnight, his father was a man that showed his worrying with excessive lecturing. Both father and son also kept a special slip of omikuji in the hopes that their wishes would come true.
• Stronger Than He Looks: In the past and the present, people have noted that Sakyo is a slender man, which belies his skillful fighting abilities.
• Team Dad: Begrudgingly takes on the mantle for the Autumn Troupe and the Mankai Company as a whole, often drilling them on management fundamentals and budget cuts. He manages the company with an iron fist, and the other members look to him with some mix of respect and fear.
• Well-Intentioned Extremist: Most of his strict rules revolve around not wasting resources (as it's a common plot that Mankai's budget is still very tight) and simply trying to keep a semblance of order in a building filled with some rather wacky people. He has been shown to be a Reasonable Authority Figure at times.
• Yakuza: Part of the Ginsenkai Yakuza gang. He is officially allowed to leave after the events of the third Autumn play, "Tales of Chivalry: Ginji The Wanderer".

The son of Sakyo and Sakoda's yakuza boss in the Ginsekai Family who was mentioned in the Autumn Troupe's third play. He is formally introduced in Episode 6, and initially ran away to the Mankai Company after a spat with his father. He is a cool-headed teenager that is also a competent, self-taught makeup artist. He officially joins the Autumn Troupe due to refusing to return home and out of spite to be better than Sakyo. Although he suffers from his stilted delivery and general lack of motivation, he is a well-placed fit for the action-oriented troupe.

• All of the Other Reindeer: Other kids avoid him because he is the son of a yakuza boss. Only Shifuto doesn't, hence their Childhood Friends status.
• The Baby of the Bunch: Despite his height, he is the youngest member that joined Mankai Company when Part 2 of the main story was running.
• Bonding over Missing Parents: The initial interactions between Azami and Omi are stilted and awkward. They resolve the tension when Omi brought up that he also lost his mother at a young age. Azami was raised in a household full of rough men, and he does not know how to approach gentle types like Omi. In addition, Omi's motherly nature brings up bittersweet memories of Azami's mother.
• Childhood Friends: With Shifuto.
• Flower Motifs: Thistle, which is also the meaning of his name.
• Image Song: "Gaki Atsukai".
• Missing Mom: His mother passed away of an illness when Azami was 5.
• Momma's Boy: He was very close to his mother and started doing makeup for her sake.
• Poor Communication Kills: A lot of the Izumida family's misunderstanding could have been solved had Azami talked about why he wanted to become a makeup artist to his father.
• Real Men Wear Pink: The reason he ran from home? His father found out about his dream of becoming a makeup artist. Albeit, the reason that his father didn't approve of it is that he misunderstood Azami's intentions for becoming one. Thinking that he is doing makeup as a form of rebellion for his position as the heir than wanting to be a makeup artist because he enjoys it, wants to keep the memory of his connection with his mother alive and pursue that dream seriously.
• Red Oni, Blue Oni: His friendship with Kumon zigzags around this trope. Whereas Kumon is loud and sociable, Azami prefers to keep people at a distance, and not without reason. However, Azami's also much more likely to act out in rage, while Kumon gets physically ill from stressful confrontations and has massive insecurity issues from it.
• The Runaway: He ran away after his father broke the makeup set that he bought with his own money out of a misunderstanding and refused to come back. Becomes a point of bonding between Azami and the Autumn Troupe as the rest of the members shared stories about when they ran away from home in the past.
• Shared Family Quirks: A Parental Substitute example. As much as Azami hates to admit it, he actually takes after Sakyo a lot. His view of romance that any kind of public affection should be happening after engagement or marriage has Taichi noting that it's similar to how Sakyo thinks in Part 2, and both have an interest in Shoujo Manga. When angered, they both have a habit of launching into long and impassioned lectures.
• Statuesque Stunner: He's very tall (Standing at 179cm at the age of 14) and is good-looking too.
• Sugar-and-Ice Personality: Around people he trusts, Azami is actually very friendly. It just takes a lot of time and patience to build up to that trust.
• Yakuza Prince: The son of the head of the Ginsekai Family and its heir.
• Younger Than They Look: His height makes him seem like he is 16, Word of God later confirms that Azami is 14.
