Career
Born in Tokyo, Azuma attended the Tokyo University of the Arts, while studying Japanese dance under Bandō Mitsugorō VIII.[1][2] He joined the Toei studio in 1954 and became a star after his debut film, Yukinojo henge, was a hit.[1] His films with Yorozuya Kinnosuke, such as the "Fuefuki Dōji" and "Beni Kujaku" series, were some of the more popular works during the golden age of jidaigeki in the 1950s.[1][2] After leaving Toei in 1965, Azuma concentrated on teaching dance while occasionally appearing in film and on stage and television.[1][2]
