Misaki Azuma (吾妻美咲) is a character in the 2019 Japanese drama series Scams. She is portrayed by Maika Yamamoto.

Character overview
Misaki Azuma is a confident, strong-willed and honest young lady. When Shotaro and Hana, voiced that they thought she was in a relationship with Kusano, she openly denied it, saying that there was no chance by 1,000%. She seems to have a tougher nature around men such as Kusano but still cares about him as she helped to make a cake to congratulate him for getting a job and helped save him from prison. She shows a more soft-spoken, gentle and helpful side around older women like her grandmother and Kusano's mother, perhaps out of respect as their junior. One example of her kindness is when she walked Kusano's mother back to her home and even carried her belongings, when she was thanked for this, she replied that it was her pleasure.

Misaki however does have limits and has been shown to lash out at others, when their actions anger her, such as with the consequences she faced because of Kusano's fraudulent job. After she and her grandmother fought off Gouriki from stealing Kusano's laptop, by running away and tasering him, they were sent away by the police, Misaki did not fear to publicly slap Kusano in the face for this, and also coldly pushed him away when he once sought after her help, out of anger and annoyance for his actions.

Misaki appears to be quite a creative and artistic person, having been shown with artwork on her bedroom walls, as well as painting vegetables on a canvas, this may be a hobby or a job for her.
