Masumi Asai

Masumi Asai (浅井 真澄 Asai Masumi) is a member of the Kazekoshi mahjong team, but she is not a regular member. She shares all of her appearances with Akino Oosako, suggesting they may be best friends.

Appearance
Masumi has short black hair and brown eyes.

She wears the standard Kazekoshi Girls' uniform.

Prefectural Tournament Arc
Masumi first appears after Mihoko Fukuji's match who was one of the people responsible for collecting data on Tsuruga Academy and Kiyosumi High School—because she just wanted to be useful. She is then seen during Kana Ikeda's match getting excited in anticipation of Kana's big hand.

Individual Tournament Arc *anime only*
At lunch break on the first day, Mihoko Fukuji charts her teammate's success where she says Masumi might just barely be okay, but needs to do better. She did not advance to the second day. She makes her last appearance cleaning the club room when Kana Ikeda wonders where Mihoko is.
