Mew Azama (安座間 美優, Azama Myū^?), born December 26, 1986 in Hiroshima Prefecture and raised in Okinawa Prefecture, is a Japanese model and actress. Azama signs her name "Mew" using romaji characters. She explains it in her profile: "美優 is read Mew. I was named from Kyōko Koizumi's famous song 'MEW of dawn'. So, the inscription is MEW."^[1]

She is a graduate of the Okinawa Actor's School and was a member of B. B. Waves (or Baby Waves) while she was there before graduating from the group in 2000.

She became "Miss SEVENTEEN" in October 2002 and was an exclusive model for Seventeen magazine until graduating from that magazine in 2006.

Before PGSM, she played a lead role in a video for the song "Taisetsu na Omoide" from the band Echiura. She portrays a high-school girl who is unsure of herself after receiving the second button off a boy's gakuran. She also plays a little volleyball with the band members.

Her first internationally-noticed role was as the amazonian Sailor Senshi of courage and thunder, Sailor Jupiter in Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon. Her co-stars thought of her as highly girlish and demure, the opposite of her forthright and tomboyish character.

In October, 2006, she shone to the crown of the 38th "non-no model grand prix" from among 5000 applicants. From December 2006 to December 2007, she was as an exclusive model of Non-No magazine (Shueisha). After a year at Non-No, she has moved to another mainstream fashion magazine, CanCam.

On March 3, 2007, she performed at the 4th "Tokyo girls collection 2007 Spring/Summer" as one of the top 70 models in Japan.

On April 24, 2007, she became "JTA (Japan Trans Ocean Air) image girl in 2007."

Since April 2007, she has been performing on the information television program for women Omo-San.
