Description
Anzu Iyojima is a main character from the prequel light novel and anime series *Nogi Wakaba is a Hero*, part of the *Yuki Yuna is a Hero* franchise. She is a member of the first Hero team formed in 2018 to fight the Vertex invasion.
Hailing from Ehime Prefecture, Anzu is the youngest member of her team, though all members start at age 14. An illness caused her to miss an entire academic year, resulting in her being held back in school. Despite being the same age as her teammates, she regards them with deep respect, especially Doi Tamako, whom she calls her "senpai" and lists as her "favorite thing." Her favorite hobby is reading, particularly romance novels, and she enjoys ballads and love songs.
Anzu has long blonde hair reaching her waist, with several chin-length and chest-length bangs, a small ahoge, and teal eyes. Her school uniform includes a navy blue blouse and skirt with a light blue undertone, a brown undershirt, and a violet ribbon. Her Hero outfit is a white suit with lavender undertones, coattails, a white collar, and fingerless gloves. When transformed, a flower appears in her hair, her hair lengthens to her thighs, and the ends fade to a lighter color.
Polite, well-spoken, and intelligent, Anzu is the physically weakest fighter on her team but compensates with high intelligence, strategic skill, and sharp observational abilities. She serves as the team's strategist, analyzing battlefield conditions and directing other Heroes for extended periods. She sometimes shows fear in combat but remains fiercely protective of her friends. Her relationship with Tamako is intensely sibling-like.
Her primary weapon is a repeating crossbow named Kinkyusen. Her trump card, Yukijorou, grants her ice and weather manipulation, enabling her to create large blizzards that freeze enemies instantly, fire ice bolts, and generate energy projectiles in a danmaku pattern. This power does not affect fellow Heroes but carries severe physical and psychological side effects, including organ damage and mental corruption over time.
In the story, Anzu fights alongside Nogi Wakaba, Takashima Yuuna, Doi Tamako, and Koori Chikage in the first Hero team. The team faces intense pressure from Vertex attacks and public criticism. During a critical battle, Anzu and Tamako are fatally wounded and clasp hands as they succumb to their injuries together. Their deaths profoundly impact the team, contributing to Chikage's mental breakdown and the original team's dissolution.
Anzu also appears in the spin-off *Yuki Yuna is a Hero: Churutto!*, a comedic, lighthearted series featuring Heroes from across the franchise engaged in mundane activities like developing udon recipes.
Her favorite food is udon, and her blood type is A. Her weapon's name is also noted as "Kinki Yuusen" in some sources.
