These include the television series Aria the Animation, Aria the Natural, and Aria the Origination, as well as OVAs like Aria the OVA ~Arietta~, Aria the Avvenire, and the theatrical films Aria the Crepuscolo and Aria the Benedizione. This long-running role established her as a beloved figure in the anime community.

Beyond the Aria franchise, Hazuki has built a substantial career with a variety of notable roles. She played Riho Shihomi in the Tamayura series, including Tamayura - More Aggressive and the Tamayura ~Graduation Photo~ films.
