Asa Kazuma is a carpenter who debuted in SASUKE 21 as the #4SASUKE Trials qualifier. In the competition, he was able to make his way through most of the obstacles in the First Stage, but ended up timing out on the Soritatsu Kabe when he was unable to scale it. He participated in the SASUKE 22 Trials, but failed to qualify for SASUKE 22. In SASUKE 27 he got his revenge on the Soritatsu Kabe and went on to complete the First Stage. In the Second Stage, however, he went out on the Double Salmon Ladder when he failed to clear its final rung.
For SASUKE 28, Asa became one of the four New Stars, along with Urushihara Yuuji, Matachi Ryo, and Kanno Hitoshi. He became only the second of five to clear the First Stage, doing so with over 16 seconds left. In the Second Stage, he had no trouble with any of the new obstacles, and reached the Passing Wall with 50 seconds, and though he struggled there, he still cleared with 25.13 seconds left. On the Third Stage, he cleared the first two obstacles with little trouble. However, his strength was sapped by the time he had got to the third ledge of the new Crazy Cliffhanger, and he slipped and fell into the water before he could attempt a swing to the final ledge.It is arguable that Asa's impressive performance in SASUKE 28 was predictable even before the broadcast, as in the Navi he was addressed as one of the New Stars, despite previously having only reached the Second Stage whereas the other three were all former finalists. Other strong competitors such as Hashimoto Kouji were not included as New Stars in the Navi, perhaps due to his First Stage failure.
