[Azuki Akimoto Profile]
Served as the "First Gymnastics Big Sister" on NHK E Tele's "Okaasan to Issho" for seven years from April 2019, the first in the program's history.
Even during the period when children were not present in the studio due to the COVID-19 pandemic, she continued to deliver unwavering smiles to children through the camera, gaining overwhelming support as a "spiritual pillar" for child-rearing households. When her graduation was announced in February 2026, the social phenomenon of "Azuki Loss" spread, and a "solo graduation message from the studio" was broadcast on her final day on the program.
