Backstory
A historic Catholic mission school, the school has produced many outstanding literary and sports figures. It first appears in an early side-story in the Kitakou series, before the characters are later fully introduced in the later strips and the parallel Kitakou Pure comic. Ichizen only exists in the universe of this later parallel series, while Erika has only appeared in materials relating to Barjona Bombers at this point in time.
In its initial appearance, is is simply referred to as Asaka High School. It was later renamed Azumi, then St. Andreas Azumi when the Kitakou Pure game demo was produced.
