Mazaki Anzu

Character Information

Name: Mazaki Anzu/Téa Gardner
Marital Status: Single
Birthday: August 18th
Zodiac: Leo
Leo Personality: To those that know astrology even very generally, Anzu is an obvious Leo: a born performer, who doesn’t shy away from the spotlight.

Leos are creative, generous, warm-hearted, enthusiastic, broad-minded, faithful, and loving. We see all of these traits expressed in Anzu in her various incarnations in the Yu-Gi-Oh! anime and manga: in the anime (both Toei and the Duel Monsters series), she is devoted to becoming a dancer, and willingly performs. She cares a great deal about her friends, even when they seem to run headlong into trouble. She is willing to consider unusual circumstances and explanations from characters like Ryou Bakura, Mokuba Kaiba, and even Pegasus himself! Her attitude as a faithful and loving friend is no doubt one reason why Yuugi developed a crush on her in the early part of the Yu-Gi-Oh! manga series.

On the flip side, Leos can also be a bit patronizing, bossy, or, as Kaiba might put it, “overdramatic.” We see this when Anzu opts to take charge when everyone gets lost in Noa’s virtual world in the Duel Monsters filler arc during Battle City. Despite her neighborly, caring attitude, once Anzu has decided something, she’s pretty intolerant of other perspectives and attitudes, and is perfectly willing to give those people (be they Mai, Kaiba, or anyone else) an earful.

As a Leo approaching the tail end of the sign of the Lion, Anzu’s decan (the 25th degree, or the third decan of the sign) is that of Aries, ruled by the constellation Corvus (the raven). This means that in addition to the fiery, social personality she gets from being a Leo, she gets an extra oomph from the classical fire sign ruled by Mars. This combination means that Anzu is especially ambitious, and is willing to step up and lead if need be. While normally they type of person who thrives on connections with others, if she believes they will hold her back from seeking the position she desires, Anzu might very well sacrifice her relationship with them (or the benefits she gets out of such a relationship) to move forward. People with Aries decans in Leo are frank (others might say “blunt”) and honest, but act with a true heart of gold and the best of intentions. Optimism can carry Anzu through even the toughest of times, which might be a contributing factor to the perception of her in fandom as a “friendship cheerleader,” when she actually gave fewer “friendship speeches” than Yuugi!

Personality: Anzu possesses a very kind-hearted, strong-willed, and supportive personality. In the Duel Monsters anime, she and Honda are basically cheerleaders for Yugi and Jonouchi whenever they duel, but she has proven herself adept at dueling as well, and usually keeps up with the going-on of a duel.

Like, Bakura, Anzu is often the voice of reason and councils her friends to approach a situation with great care so as not to put themselves in unnecessary danger. Anzu has had a crush on Yami Yugi but it appears to have some-what shifted to Yugi Muto instead. Despite her usual trepidation, Anzu will throw caution to the wind if one of her friends is in trouble, at which point she is all too glad to endorse a decisive course of action.
Appearance: In the manga, Anzu originally had a conventional, short hairstyle. Her first color image, seen in Duel 1, featured dark brown hair and amber eyes. As Takahashi continued drawing the manga, Anzu gained more feminine and cute facial features. Her hair style became longer and less conventional. Color images from Volume 3 and onward portray her hair as a lighter brown color. Sometimes her eyes are blue and sometimes they are reddish brown. By the final volume of the manga, Anzu's hair touches her shoulders. Anzu's usual outfit is the standard female Domino High School uniform, consising of a pink coat, a white oxford shirt, a blue tie, and a blue pleated skirt, though she does not stick to any usual casual outfit and wears several throughout the series.


In the first series anime, her hair and eyes are of a reddish brown color. Her school uniform color differs; her coat is orange and her tie and skirt are green. In the amusement park episode, she wore a light-green bikini.

In the second series anime, she has brown hair and blue eyes. On occasions she wore the school uniform colored in the same manner as in the manga. Her brown shoulder-length hair is sectioned into two layers, consisting of a darker shade of brown inner layer, with the outer layer of a lighter shade.

During the first season of the anime, her usual outfit is comprised of a yellow shirt, which flows like a skirt at her thighs, with a pink waistcoat over it, and a blue miniskirt. A pair of brown knee-high boots completed her ensemble.

In the second and third season, her clothes consists of a light green sleeveless buttoned shirt with yellow collar, pink and blue bracelets, navy shorts with a light blue belt, white thigh-high socks, and blue platform sandals. She also wears a yellow tank-top with the word "SPIRIT" on it (which was removed from the dub) and a red skirt on occasion in the second season.

She also wears another outfit: a yellow tube-top, red choker, light pink shorts, black thigh-high socks, red platform sandals, and a pink jacket. In the fourth and fifth season she wears a black sleeveless shirt that reveals her belly button, a red skirt and a pair of white high-heeled boots. During the trip to Industrial Illusions, she wears a white jacket over a red tank top, a pleated yellow skirt, and tan boots and she also wears the same outfit at the KC Grand Championship.

In the 4th season, she wears a yellow jacket, blue shirt and short shorts. In the 4th episode of said season, she wears a black tank top which slightly covers her belly button, navy short shorts with a gray belt, and yellow wristbands.

In Yu-Gi-Oh! Capsule Monsters, her clothes consists of a dark pink jacket, light green shirt, with a beige and neck tie, an emerald-green skirt and brown boots.
