■Japanese: 岡本あずさ (おかもとあずさ)
■Birthdate: June 21, 1992
■Birthplace: Nagoya, Aichi, Japan
■Height: 167 cm.
■Blood Type: A
She is a model (Seventeen) and has entered the acting world with some nice supporting roles. Get ready to see more of her next year, as she will take the lead role in a tv drama for the first time. And it promises to be a real break away role for her. More from generasia:
Fashion model and actress Okamoto Azusa (18) now has her first sole starring role in a movie. She will lead the cast of the suspense story “Sentimental Yasuko,” scheduled for release in spring 2012.

“Sentimental Yasuko” is originally a stage production by the theatrical group Cornflakes, led by director Horie Kei. Horie is also behind the camera for the movie.

The story revolves around a hostess named Yasuko (Okamoto), who has attempted suicide multiple times before. On her parents’ death anniversary, she winds up unconscious in an emergency ward after being strangled by someone. The police find her cell phone at the scene of the crime, and a veteran detective named Yamanaka narrows down the suspects to 7 men of different ages and occupations, each of whom she has been involved with. As the action proceeds nonstop from midnight to dawn, the shocking past is gradually revealed.

Okamoto’s previously pure image promises to change with this film, and she admitted that she is nervous about the planned bed scenes.http://www.generasia.com/2011/06/07/okamoto-azusa-stars-in-suspense-film-sentimental-yasuko/

Azusa appeared in this year's installment of the Keitai Deka series of movies, along with Aya Oomasa and Anri Okamoto (Regarding the surname "Okamoto", Azusa also appeared with Rei Okamoto in the series "Tumbling") “Keitai Deka The Movie 3: Morning Musume Kyuushutsu Daisakusen! ~ Pandora no Hako no Himitsu” (literally “Cell Phone Detective 3: Morning Musume Epic Rescue Struggle ~ Secret of Pandora’s Box”) Some more, from, NipponCinema:
Plot: After the idol group Morning Musume (played by themselves) receive a death threat, the Metropolitan Police Department enlists the help of the three most recent generations of Keitai Deka to guard them—Zenigata Kai (Aya Omasa), Zenigata Mei (Azusa Okamoto), and Zenigata Yui (Anri Okamoto). However, after a concert, the group suddenly vanishes during the bus ride back to their hotel.

As reported by Tokyograph earlier this month, the film will mark the final time the current lineup of Morning Musume act together before the graduations of members Eri Kamei, JunJun, and LinLin. http://www.nipponcinema.com/trailers/keitai-deka-the-movie-3-teaser

A Goddess on the mountain top
Was burning like a silver flame
The summit of Beauty and Love
And Azusa was her name.....

While we wait for some new roles for Azusa, nothing wrong with enjoying scenes from her earlier role....Tall cute girls protecting small cute girls is always a winning theme:

Thank you for pointing out Rola. I caught a glimpse of her on a show and was smitten, but I couldn't find anything since I didn't have any real information to go on. Low and behold I see her in an advert for Big Echo and it led me to your post and this pretty cool forum.

Zenigata Kai (Aya Omasa), Zenigata Mei (Azusa Okamoto), and Zenigata Yui (Anri Okamoto) were protecting Morning Musume in the film, as we know. Guess hanging out with Idols on the set rubbed off on Aya, Azusa, and Anri, because the A-Team came up with their own J-pop tune.....
