Personality[]
Well-mannered and courteous on the surface, he is a killer at heart. He is loyal to Bifrost and quick to figure how things will play out, matching his strategy to his intuited conclusions. He considers murder to be art and always ensures that his targets commit suicide. He doesn't place much faith in humanity and views the world as one big machine with people and society as its cogs. He desires to control those cogs by reaching the top echelons of society and live a perfect existence. His deepest desire is to become a member of the Sibyl System.

Relationships[]
Chiyo Obata[]
She and Azusawa have a professional relationship. While they do get along, she often displays disdain for him and gets angry enough to throw things at him.
Atsushi Shindo[]
Azusawa considers Shindo to be both a thorn in his side and his greatest teacher. Shindo is the one who previously defeated Azusawa when he was an Inspector for the Ministry of Welfare.
Haruki Enomiya[]
Enomiya and Azusawa are fellow Bifrost Inspectors. Though they share a professional relationship, Azusawa pities him when he realizes that Enomiya is being used as a puppet to expose Karina Komiya's AI, Ma-Karina, to the public.
Trivia[]
- His ID as a Bifrost Inspector is 57492-JBUT-13774-3.[2]
- According to Director Naoyoshi Shiotani, Obata must have hacked into the PSB's confidential Level 2 security database and tampered with his career data. He also mentions that she left hints - most likely referring to his address, which is the same as Suneo Honekawa's from Doraemon.
