Ayumu Kasuga (JP: 春日歩 Kasuga Ayumu), called "Osaka" (JP: 大阪) by the rest of the cast, is one of the main characters of the Azumanga Daioh series, and a minor character in the Yotsuba&! series, both by Kiyohiko Azuma. While not being the deuragonist of the Azumanga Daioh series she is the character that has the most screen time out of every character in the anime besides Chiyo Mihama, making her the closest character to this role. Considered one of, if not the most popular character, she is introduced as a transfer high school student from the Osaka prefecture, and later becomes a physical education teacher after finishing her education.
Unlike the stereotypical Osakan, she seems slow and easily distracted, but she merely has a mind that works quite differently than most people. This makes her prone to daydreaming, absentmindedness, and non-sequiturs, but it also makes her unusually good at answering very specific types of riddles. Her unusual way of thinking gives her a very vivid imagination and a unique way of seeing the world.
Osaka contributed to both the initial popularity of Azumanga Daioh in the mid 2000s and later resurgence of popularity in the early 2020s as a result of internet memes prominently featuring her. She also inspired the fanmade simulator Ayumu Kasuga's Mail Order Life, and the book Osaka Banpaku. Osaka's cameo appearance in Yotsuba&!, which makes her the first character to appear in new material in over a decade, also confirms both series take place within the same universe.
History[]
Azumanga Daioh[]
Manga and anime[]
Osaka as she appears in the opening of the Azumanga Daioh anime, Soramimi Cake
Osaka is one of the main characters in the Azumanga Daioh manga and its anime adaptation Azumanga Daioh: The Animation. She is introduced as a transfer student from Osaka, Japan. Tomo Takino expects her to act like the stereotypical Osakan — loud, like a hillbilly, chose for her the nickname "Osaka", although her behavior could not be more different. Osaka considers her label "too simple" and "icky," but she lacks the energy or motivation to dispute it. She reminisces how people in Osaka consider her "slow" and "spacey", at least compared to the average Osakan, but she lacks the energy or motivation to change. Osaka was the first to ever lose a race against Chiyo Mihama, whom she gained a close friendship with throughout high school. The nickname sticks so well she is called 'Osaka' by teachers and even in the class roster, to the point that no one (including herself) even remembers her real name (Koyomi Mizuhara has a similar problem). In the manga, Osaka mentions that she lived in Kobe when she was in elementary school and was born in Wakayama.[1]
Because of her poor performance on exams, Osaka became a member of the "Knuckleheads" ("Bonklers" in Japanese, "Numbnuts" in the English manga and "Boneheads" in the Yen Press translation), together with Tomo and Kagura, which was disbanded by Tomo. During the Sports Festival, she made a big deal out of running the obstacle course because she thought the event of sticking her face in flour to get candy was funny and had a giggle fit when she got there (and lost). Afterwards, her face was still covered in flour. She has almost no flexibility in her body, unlike some of her other friends. The manga also revealed that she actually likes to run outside and play in typhoons,[2] yet is easily spooked by thunder.[3] Osaka and her friends graduate high school at the end of the series.
Azumanga Web Daioh[]
Osaka buries the video she and her friends recorded in the schoolyard and puts up a sign next to it saying "time capsule," after which she peacefully walks away from there. Then the waste management company comes and brings down the tree by which Osaka's time capsule was placed. Osaka appears stunned as she soon realizes what is happening.
Azumanga Daioh: The Very Short Movie[]
Osaka, Tomo and Kagura compare their scores with hers: Tomo got a 31, Osaka a 42, and Kagura a 30, making their combined score 103 points. Thus, they announce to Chiyo that the Knuckleheads have won. Osaka is sitting in the classroom, fascinated by Chiyo-chan's pigtails, and holds her hands out to touch them. But the next thing she knows, the pigtails fall off Chiyo's head. The whole class is watching as Osaka tries to put Chiyo's pigtails back on, but fails to do so. Osaka finds Chiyo's pigtails under the desks, but when she tries to take them, they jump away and out the window. Chiyo follows them and Osaka begins imagining a scenario where Chiyo travels across the world in search of her pigtails. Osaka wakes up to find that it was all just a dream, and her classmates are standing all around her, giving her confused looks. Yukari in particular is furious with Osaka for sleeping in class.
Yotsuba&![]
Osaka as she appears in Yotsuba&!
Osaka, now an adult, makes a cameo appearance in the sixteenth volume of Yotsuba&!, where she reveals that she is now working as a physical education teacher after having finished college, one of her students being Yotsuba's most frequent playmate Ena Ayase. Osaka's appearance in Yotsuba&! pays off on a joke from Azumanga Daioh where Chiyo tells Osaka she can become a teacher, and an offhand comment in a previous Yotsuba&! chapter that Ena's teacher is from the kansai region.
It is explained that due to her Osaka dialect, her students call her Osaka, the same name Tomo nicknamed her when she was a student herself. This was Yotsuba's first time seeing a teacher, initially wondering she is an enemy or friend and later compares Osaka to her grandmother. After being introduced to Yotsuba through Ena, Osaka teaches Yotsuba how to do a back hip circle after Yotsuba and Ena spot her attempting to do one earlier, teaching her two moves: Escape the Earth and Laundry, both of which Yotsuba does successfully.
Yotsuba then asks Osaka what the name of a big tree near them is, which Osaka doesn't know, but doesn't want to crush Yotsuba's hopes. Osaka looks at the tree and wonders what it is called, knowing that someone told her it was "some kind of somethin'". Osaka then notices Yotsuba flipping before she asks about the tree again. Needing a hint, Osaka spot a nameplate, but doesn't approach it to avoid Yotsuba finding out and losing faith in Osaka as a teacher, but Osaka expresses relief that at least she has good eyesight. However, she is unable to read it due to being confused at the kanji, which according to her has "tree" written on the left and "nothin'" on the right. Osaka is confused by this, believing it not to be a tree and wondering what it could be instead. Osaka is then relieved to notice a pronunciation underneath just as Yotsuba runs up to her, asking if she figured out. However, before Osaka can reveal the name of the tree, Ena reveals it to be a Japanese beech tree ("buna"). Osaka tells Yotsuba her friend's answer is correct, also stating "Which ah' already knew a'course".
Yotsuba asks Osaka if she knows everything because she studies so much, which Osaka says is correct. Yotsuba tells Osaka that she will study a whole bunch too when she goes to school, aiming to be a professor someday, then stating that she will turn her father Yousuke Koiwai into a rhinoceros beetle once she's a professor, explaining that her father likes them more than jumbo dragonflies. Osaka tells Yotsuba to study real hard to make this happen, with Yotsuba promising her she will. Osaka and Yotsuba then observe Ena trying to do a flip too.
Other appearances[]
Azumanga Daioh video games[]
Osaka appears in all the Azumanga Daioh video games, including Azu-Race Taisen Battle He-Cho, Azubeach, Azucola, Azumanga Daioh Advance, Azumanga Daioh Puzzle Bobble, Azumanga Donjyara Daioh, Azumanga Fighter and Azutama.
Ayumu Kasuga's Mail Order Life[]
The virtual Osaka playing in her room
Osaka spends time in her room and occasionally walks out, possibly to a part-time job. Afterwards, she comes back with money used by the player to buy various items that appear on TV along with Chiyo-chichi. If the item is clicked, then Osaka will buy it, otherwise it disappears. The player thereafter gets to watch what she does with the items, and nothing can be done to control her during this period of time. New clothes, accessories and furniture for her room may also be purchased. Some of the items appear in the anime and others are random. Well-known scenes from the game include Osaka swinging a lightsaber (from Star Wars), sleepwalking, sleeping under a kotatsu, and walking around with the kitchen knife from chapter 34. This game can conceivably take place at any point in Azumanga Daioh, perhaps even shortly before or after it.
Development[]
Osaka's original appearance in the manga
Osaka's appearance is completely different from the first manga volumes to the content of her that came after, however this could be simply Kiyohiko Azuma playing around with different styles. Due to manga and anime differences, her height varies. In the manga, she's one of the tallest in her group. However, in the anime, she's on the more shorter end of the spectrum. Unlike every other character in the series, her eye shine is on the bottom left, instead of the top left. In the anime, "Get it together" is treated as something of a catchphrase for Osaka, but in the manga she only says it once and without repeating it.
Within earlier versions of the manga English translations, she is shown carrying a Brooklyn accent. This is due to the fact that Osakan accents are seen more similar to NYC/Southern accents. Later on, after Yen Press started translating the manga, the accent was swapped for a southern accent to be more similar to the anime. In the anime, she was opted in for the southern accent, most likely due to ADV Films, the company who was translating the anime to English, being located in Houston, Texas. However in the Animax dub, a NYC/Southern accent was instead dropped altogether in favor of simply a softer voice.

In the original English translation of the manga, her Kansai dialect was rendered as a Brooklyn accent, which has sometimes been done for other anime characters with Osaka accents, such as Naru Osaka from Sailor Moon. The English dub of the anime, which was done later, gives her the Southern accent from around ADV Films headquarters in Houston, Texas. She also has a Southern accent in the Yen Press translation of the manga; ADV Films said on this choice "In the English dub, [her Kansai dialect] has been equated to a Southern accent from around the Houston area, which shares the business-oriented attitude with Osaka as well as the country image that color both the Southern and Osakan accents" while Yen Press stated the following: "Out of [the dialects differing from standard Tokyo Japanese], the dialect family of the Kansai (Western Japan) area — particularly the Osaka dialect — is the most widely recognized and understood nationwide, thanks in part to the comedy industry. To speakers of standard Japanese, Osakan speech sounds faster, rougher, and livelier. /.../ In translation, we opted to have Osaka speak with something of a Southern accent, which is the largest accent group in the United States." Nonetheless, the decision was controversial, some fans likened Osaka in the English dub to a redneck. In the Animax dub (of which, only four episodes have been found), Osaka is not given an audible accent and uses terms like "slowpoke" and "space head", while Chiyo's pronunciation of her name sounds similar to "Asuka". Her dialogue in the scene where she competes against Chiyo in a race is longer in the Animax dub than the original dub and sub.
Osaka's Shoe Kick, one of many internet memes featuring Osaka
Osaka is one of, if not, the most popular Azumanga Daioh character. This is mostly due to her clumsyness and relatability amongst fans, contributing to both the initial popularity of Azumanga Daioh in the mid 2000s and later resurgence of popularity in the early 2020s as a result of internet memes prominently featuring Osaka, including Osaka Shoe Kick, "OH MY GAH", ""Sata Andagi!", America Ya (Hallo Hallo Hallo) and "Who Can It Be Now?". It is commonly believed by fans that Osaka either has attention deficit disorder or some sort of autism. She also inspired the fanmade simulator Ayumu Kasuga's Mail Order Life released in the early 2000s, which features her as the playable character. Osaka also inspired Osaka Banpaku, an Azumanga Daioh-focused book commemorating the series's 10th anniversary which includes images of noteworthy merchandise released for the series. The book is 16 chapters and 304 pages long. Half of these are merchandise- and fandom-related, while the other half is devoted to the guest comics. The other manga artists drew yonkoma similar to the original ones and with the same characters as in Azumanga Daioh, but in their own personal styles. The book is entirely in Japanese and has only seen an official release within Japan. Azuma featured Osaka in a cameo role in the sixteenth volume of Yotsuba&! released on February 26, 2025, making her the first Azumanga Daioh character to appear in one of Azuma's other works, the first character from the series to appear in new material since 2009 (when Azumanga Daioh: Supplementary Lessons was released), and the first character to re-appear as an adult. Osaka's cameo appearance in Yotsuba&! also confirmed both series take place within the same universe, which had often been a topic of speculation by fans.
Personality[]
Osaka chasing the floaters in her eyes
Unlike the stereotypical Osakan, she seems slow and easily distracted, but she merely has a mind that works quite differently than most people. This makes her prone to daydreaming, absentmindedness, and non-sequiturs, but it also makes her unusually good at answering very specific types of riddles. Her unusual way of thinking gives her a very vivid imagination and a unique way of seeing the world.
Osaka often acts stuck in her own world. Although she seems slow and easily distracted, she merely has a mind that works quite differently from that of most people. Though she is often prone to daydreaming, absentmindedness and non-sequiturs, it also makes her unusually good at answering certain types of riddles. While some people assume that she lacks focus, the truth is that in quite a few cases, Osaka is really a little too focused. When she daydreams in class, she tends to dream about Chiyo and her pigtails either controlling her, giving her the ability to fly, keeping her alive, or being replaced with new ones. When she gets a thought in her head, she tends to focus on it so intently that the rest of the world simply disappears, causing her to often miss what's going on around her (an example is in episode 2, when a cockroach invades the class and Tomo is enthusiastically and noisily trying to exterminate the bug, literally sending desks, and presumably students, flying — while Osaka is completely indifferent and only tries to "chase" eye floaters). In episode 6. Osaka kicks her shoe off to predict the weather for the athletic competition the next day, only for it to land on a truck; Osaka and Chiyo's faces tell all.
Osaka after sticking her head in flour during an obstacle course race
At the same time, Osaka has a habit of being able to point out obvious things nobody else seems to notice (such as the fact that none of her core group of friends has boyfriends or the fact that Kaorin had a crush on Sakaki) and has surprising levels of knowledge on unexpected topics such as marine biology and obscure kanji. Osaka enjoys sata andagi, a type of deep-fried bun similar to a doughnut; In Episode 21 she excitedly and repeatedly says "sata andagi" while holding sata andagi. She also seems to have an obsession with sea slugs; In Chapter 3, she names her team "Team Sea Slug" while in Chapter 33, she plays with sea slugs she finds on the bottom of the ocean. In Episode 15, Osaka enjoys putting her face in flour in the obstacle course, only to lose her chance of winning. When participating in the bread-eating race, her concentration was trounced when the commentator listed the flavour of breads available, causing her to spend too much time deliberating which flavour to pick and, hence, coming in last. Furthermore, she was every bit as interested as the other girls to hear what Minamo Kurosawa had to say while drunk. On their first trip to Chiyo's summer home, Osaka proposed telling a scary story where all of the girls are murdered one by one, only to reveal that in the end, she was the one who killed them all. She also suggested placing cat corpses inside a cafe as an accumulation of the other girls ideas for their second-year Culture Festival, which included a haunted house, a cafe, and stuffed animals. In Episode 25 she dreams about meeting and conversing with Chiyo-chichi while studying in a classroom. In Episode 19, Osaka compares her yawns with that of Chiyo and Tomo.
Osaka hates spicy food and carbonated drinks. According to Tomo, she has a short tongue, and can't hold her breath for more than a few seconds. She is obsessed with splitting chopsticks cleanly and made up a "magic charm" where you got good luck if you managed to do it. Chiyo ended up using the same method when praying for her friends to have good results on their college entrance exams. In contrast to most of her peers, Osaka always keeps a quiet, accessible mood. It's extremely rare to catch her in a fit of anger or losing control (as seen in Episode 25 of the anime, when she sports a maniac grin after finally learning how to break a pair of chopsticks evenly, and gets mad at Tomo for not doing it properly). Osaka is allergic to pollen, like Yomi, and is known for sneezing in an unusually subtle way, going "Ay-tchoh" in the anime and "At-choy" in the manga.
Relationships[]
Chiyo Mihama[]
Osaka and Chiyo have a friendly relationship
Osaka and Chiyo are close friends, and spend the three years of High School hanging out often. They have a friendly relationship, as the former is Osaka's closest friend from her class. It begins when Osaka joins Chiyo's class and they team up for a P.E. lesson. One of the main ways in which they are similar is that they are both terrible at physical education, as seen when they ran the marathon and both ended up gasping for breath afterwards. They both have kind personalities and are calm in temper.
Chiyo is the one who is most intrigued by Osaka's strange theories and thinking and seems to understand them best. This is likely due to Chiyo's childlike naivety which Osaka shares. This aspect of their relationship is perhaps especially clear in the manga. Chiyo also respects Osaka enough to use the formal suffix "-san" when referring to her (as in "Osaka-san"), something she does with everyone except Tomo.
Osaka was very sad when she thought that she and Chiyo-chan would be separated because she couldn't find her real name, Kasuga, in the class roster at the start of her second high school year.
During the part seen entirely through Chiyo's eyes, she reflects on how often Osaka falls asleep in class and speculates that Osaka might be a night owl. She also appreciated Osaka's efforts in cleaning, albeit she was not very good at it.
Right from the beginning of their time spent together, Osaka has been fascinated with Chiyo's pigtails, almost to the point of obsession. She dreams about them several times, daily and nightly. Most of Osaka's dreams in general involve Chiyo in one way or another. In her dreams, Chiyo's pigtails allow her to fly, are detachable, and/or control her. This sometimes scares Osaka so much that she has to test it in real life so as to be sure that it was all a dream. When Chiyo changed her hairstyle, Osaka initially believed that her pigtails had moved on their own.
Towards the end of High School, Osaka comments on Chiyo always being there for her.
Tomo Takino[]
Osaka with Tomo Takino and Kagura
Osaka and Tomo are friends, and spend their three years of High School hanging out often. Tomo was responsible for giving Osaka her nickname. In the second year, Osaka and Kagura join forces with Tomo to create The Knuckleheads. In the third year, Osaka yells at Tomo for incorrectly splitting chopsticks. Osaka later talks about how she and Tomo have got their act together, since they both made it into college.
Sakaki[]
Osaka and Sakaki are friends, and spend their three years of High School hanging out often. She spoke to Sakaki about topics ranging from haemorrhoids to dolphins on the beach during their visit visit to Chyio's summer home.
Koyomi Mizuhara[]
Osaka and Yomi are friends, and spend their three years of High School hanging out often.
Kagura[]
Osaka and Kagura are friends, and spend two of their three years of High School hanging out often. In the second year, after befriending Osaka and the other girls upon joining Class 3, Osaka joins forces with Kagura and Tomo to create The Knuckleheads.
Other Relationships[]
Kaorin[]
Osaka and Kaorin sat next to each other for the first two years of high school, until she was moved to Kimura's class in the third year where Kagura sat in her place. In the manga, Osaka noticed Kaorin's attraction to Sakaki and asked Kaorin if she was a lesbian, which Kaorin brushed off out of shyness.
Yukari Tanizaki[]
Osaka was one of Yukari's students during the three years of High School. Yukari mentioned that she had a hard time getting Osaka as a transfer student. Despite her tendency to nod off during lectures, which upsets Yukari, she remains in Yukari's homeroom class throughout high school. Her intention, at Chiyo's advice, to seek a teaching career after graduation (which she later accomplishes) is viewed by Yukari as a deep personal insult, believing that Chiyo thinks teachers are lazy and laid-back. The third time they went to Chiyo's summer home, she was going to wake up Yukari with a "frying pan". She ended up getting a knife by mistake, scaring Yukari, then said: "You woke up by yourself. Then I failed ..."
Minamo Kurosawa[]
Osaka often attended Nyamo's P.E. classes during the three years of High School, later becoming a P.E. teacher herself after graduating.
Kimura[]
Osaka disliked Kimura due to his perverted actions towards female students, as did her other friends. Although Kimura remarked in a scene about wanting to see her and the other girls changing, he is hinted in a later scene to be completely disinterested in Osaka, as he went back to class after encountering her in the hallway moments after harassing Kagura.
Yotsuba Koiwai[]
Yotsuba and Osaka doing a back hip circle
Osaka was Yotsuba's first time seeing a teacher, initially wondering she is an enemy or friend and later compares Osaka to her grandmother. After being introduced to Yotsuba through Ena, Osaka teaches Yotsuba how to do a back hip circle after Yotsuba and Ena spot her attempting to do one earlier, teaching her two moves: Escape the Earth and Laundry, both of which Yotsuba does successfully.
Yotsuba then asks Osaka what the name of a big tree near them is, which Osaka doesn't know, but doesn't want to crush Yotsuba's hopes. Osaka looks at the tree and wonders what it is called, knowing that someone told her it was "some kind of somethin'". Osaka then notices Yotsuba flipping before she asks about the tree again. Needing a hint, Osaka spot a nameplate, but doesn't approach it to avoid Yotsuba finding out and losing faith in Osaka as a teacher, but Osaka expresses relief that at least she has good eyesight.

Osaka tells Yotsuba to study real hard to make this happen, with Yotsuba promising her she will. Osaka and Yotsuba then observe Ena trying to do a flip too.
Ena Ayase[]
Ena is one of Osaka's students, who calls her Osaka due to her Osakan dialect.
Trivia[]
- Osaka speaks in the Osaka-ben dialect. When Tomo asked Osaka if she had lost her accent, she replies with "O-ha", which is Osaka-ben for "Ohayou" (Good morning) suggesting that she still uses some words in the Kansai dialect.
- She likes fun facts, like "grains of truths".
- Although her birthdate is not known, it's theorized that she was born in 1983-1984.
- Osaka is shown to be bad at almost everything, ranging from schoolwork to P.E. (being able to become a P.E. teacher years later in spite of this). But she is good at riddle-solving, and (at least in the anime) is a quite decent singer.
- In episode 6. Osaka kicks her shoe off to predict the weather. Traditionally, this was done using a geta, which is a Japanese wooden clog. Since geta are square, they can also land on their sides, giving the fortune more dimensions. However, since few people wear geta these days, people do this with regular shoes and use a more simplified version of the fortune telling, where it will be clear if it lands upright and if it lands upside down, it will rain.
- She is 156 cm (5'1") tall.
