Azami

Azami (あざみ) is a secondary character in the Samurai Shodown series. She is Genan's wife and they first met when he was 20. Like her husband, Azami was born into a magic-using family. Concerned for his safety, she is often found tearfully begging him to stop fighting in dangerous situations and come home to his family.
