Koyū Azuma is one of Rozan Shinoyama’s loyal bodyguards, coming from a dangerous assassin family known as the "Black Thunder." He lost all four limbs when he was just nine years old due to a mission gone wrong, but was saved from a terrible fate by Rozan and given mechanical replacements. He now lives in Rozan’s house and feels deeply loyal, almost seeing Rozan as his real father. Even though Koyū first saw Polka Shinoyama as a rival, he eventually became a valuable ally after working with him and talking about other worlds. Koyū is not only strong and fast—with a powerful dragon arm giving him lightning powers—but also rooted in caring relationships and a strict, yet kind-hearted personality.
Koyū Azuma has mechanical arms and legs made with special technology from the Shinoyama family. After an accident, his right arm was replaced again with a dragon’s arm, which looks very powerful and unique.
Koyū is very loyal and sincere, taking his job seriously and completing all tasks, even simple ones like buying shark-themed gifts for Saya Shinoyama.
He cares about details and is a very skilled cook, showing both discipline and passion.
However, when it comes to fighting or dealing with enemies, he can be cold and ruthless.
He also has a sense of jealousy, especially toward Polka Shinoyama because he shares blood with Rozan.
Koyū was born into the "Black Thunder" assassin family.
When he was nine, his first mission went wrong after meeting Majiri Agakura.
She asked him to join her family and took away his arms and legs, leaving him unable to work as an assassin.
His own father planned to use him as a living "garden pot" for growing poison, but Rozan Shinoyama rescued him before that happened.
Since then, Koyū feels a deep loyalty and love for Rozan, much more than for his real father.
He is now cut off from his family, except for his elder sister, Enmei Rai, who loves him very much and often sends him extremely long messages.
Koyū uses weapons like kunai and takes full advantage of his mechanical arms and legs.
He can stretch his fingers for wide attacks, give electric shocks, and jump very far and high.
His hearing is so good that he can hear other people’s heartbeats.
Later, after his right mechanical arm was destroyed by Majiri Agakura, he received Urdwigia’s dragon arm from Corpse God, allowing him to use lightning magic and move at the speed of lightning.

- Enmei Rai: She is Koyū’s elder sister and loves him extremely much, often sending him very long, passionate messages.
