An extremely talented Pantasia baker, encountered first during the Pantasia Newcomers&#039; Tournament and discovered to possess the solar hands as well. A Harvard graduate like Kuroyanagi, he looks up to him as a mentor, calling him &#039;Senpai&#039; (which means Senior). He is considered as a &quot;Harvard Junior Genius&quot;, having graduated the prestigious school at a very young age of sixteen.

~!Originally working for Tsukino&#039;s evil sister Yukino Azusagawa, Kanmuri defected to the Pantasia&#039;s Southern Tokyo store to work with Azuma after Yukino blew up his research laboratory as a result of him losing to Azuma. He remained to keep the store throughout the Monaco Cup, but rejoined the team for the Yakitate!! challenge. 

Revealed to be one out of the last two possible heirs to the Hashiguchi Company (the biggest gangster organization in Japan). Although he firmly states that he&#039;d never join the Yakuza, problem sets as the other heir, Masanobu Tsutsumi, Shigeru&#039;s half-brother, shares the same sentiments. Tsutsumi is jealous at his half-brother for getting all the attention from their father, thus fueling his own determination to defeat the younger boy in a cooking/baking competition.!~

He is probably named after a Shogakukan editor of the same name.


Kazuma Azuma wants to make bread. Not just any kind of bread, though. He wants to make a bread that represents Japan itself and can stand toe-to-toe with rice as a national food. Thanks to his legendary "Hands of the Sun," unnaturally warm hands that allow dough to ferment faster, Kazuma's bread is like a slice of Heaven. 
 
And when the Pantasia Rookie Competition arrives, everyone will get a taste of his skill! Along with his friend Kawachi (who's only in it for the dough), he’ll go up against koala karate masters, Harvard bread scientists, samurai with rolling-pin swords, and more! Can Kazuma create bread like naan other and bake his way to glory, or should he quit before he's toast?
