The manager of the Southern Tokyo branch of Pantasia. He's muscular due to the training he went through earlier in life to get solar gauntlets. His two main distinct features are his afro and sunglasses. Through the series he explains many of the bread making techniques bread making artisans use.

He is the best French-bread artisan in Japan.

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?
