Himari Azuma

Himari Azuma (東日万凛,  Azuma Himari) is the Vice Chief of the Anti-Demon Corps’ 7th Unit and a prominent supporting character in the anime and manga series  Mato Seihei no Slave. The youngest daughter of the Azuma family, Himari was long considered inferior to her highly skilled elder sisters. Her perceived lack of talent led to low expectations within her family. However, after meeting Kyouka Uzen and fighting alongside Yuuki Wakura through the use of the Slave ability, she gradually proved her capabilities. These achievements earned her recognition from her siblings and family members who had once looked down on her.

Appearance in Anime

Himari is initially depicted as aloof and openly distrustful of Yuuki Wakura during their first meeting, viewing him as inferior simply because he is a man. She treats him as a subordinate to the 7th Unit referring to him as a “slave” and believes he should be grateful for the opportunity to serve them. Himari carries considerable pride in her own abilities, the strength of the 7th Unit, and especially in Kyouka Uzen, whom she deeply admires. This pride, combined with her competitive spirit, often makes her quick to anger.

Although she maintains a hostile attitude toward Yuuki, she acknowledges his skill both in and out of combat. Nevertheless, she is often the first to lash out physically when he becomes involved in awkward or suggestive situations, even if accidental such as walking in on members of the unit while they are bathing or changing.

Himari’s disciplined and hardworking nature stems from her difficult childhood. She frequently trains with Kyouka, honing her Peach Blessing and refining her combat skills, and is strict about fulfilling her duties and following orders. She is quick to criticize others who slack off, though her own temperament can be hot-blooded both in and out of battle, leading some to label her as one of the more unruly members of the 7th Unit. Her sensitivity about her perceived shortcomings especially when compared to her elder sister Yachiho Azuma makes her defensive when her abilities are questioned. Himari’s greatest ambition is to become a hero like Yuuki while striving to emulate Kyouka and make up for what she believes she has failed to achieve in comparison to her sisters.

She is also prone to embarrassment, particularly when matters turn intimate. Prior to her battle against Yachiho, she chose to use Yuuki as her Slave, only to grow flustered when she realized the nature of the “rewards” she would need to give him. Over time, this training fostered a gradual shift in her perception of Yuuki, leading her to see him more as a trusted comrade and friend. Subtle hints also suggest that she may have developed romantic feelings for him, as evidenced by their first kiss, an act she initiated outside of the context of his rewards.

Appearance

Himari is a striking young woman with a curvaceous figure and is one year older than Yuuki Wakura. She has long, dark sea-green hair that reaches her back, typically tied in a bow at the back of her head, with long bangs brushed to the right side of her face. Her eyes are a warm amber color. Over time, her physique has become more mature and womanly, a change noted by Yuuki.

She is most often seen wearing the Anti-Demon Corps uniform. Her version of the outfit closely resembles Kyouka Uzen’s but features a short-sleeved tunic rather than the standard long-sleeved design.

Background

Himari is the youngest daughter of the Azuma family and the child of Fubuki Azuma. From an early age, she was constantly compared to her highly accomplished older sisters, all of whom excelled in various fields. By contrast, Himari was regarded as a failure, a perception that drove her to push herself in study and training sometimes to the point of illness. Among her siblings, she was most frequently teased by Yachiho Azuma, who seemed to take particular delight in making her the target of her jibes.

Her fortunes began to shift after she obtained her own abilities by consuming a Peach from Mato. However, she soon realized that her newfound power carried several limitations. Eventually, Himari joined the Anti-Demon Corps’ 7th Unit, a team known for its unconventional members where she rose to the position of Vice Chief. Under the leadership of Kyouka Uzen, whom she deeply admired, Himari found inspiration and a renewed sense of purpose.

Powers and Abilities

Like all other women who have consumed a Peach from Mato, Himari gained a unique supernatural ability. While her initial capabilities were considered less impressive compared to those of her older sisters, her rigorous training with the Anti-Demon Corps’ 7th Unit allowed her to surpass many Demon Hunters in combat effectiveness, despite the inherent limitations of her Peach Blessing. Her dedication and growth ultimately earned her the position of Vice Chief. After awakening her latent potential, Himari demonstrated enough strength to fight evenly with her mother, Fubuki Azuma, when the latter was using 10% of her power.

Etymology

The given name Himari (日万凛) combines the kanji hi (日), meaning “sun” or “day,” man (万), meaning “ten thousand” or “countless,” and rin (凛), meaning “dignified,” “gallant,” or “severe cold.” Her surname Azuma (東) means “east” and is also a historical term referring to eastern Japan.
