It's very likely that "Azuki" is a mistake by the translators. The furigana き and さ are similar enough that an inexperienced translator or someone who just wasn't paying attention might make that mistake, especially since Azuki is also a common female name which is sometimes written in ways involving 梓.

They're from a *Visual Novel* called **[Kizuato](http://vndb.org/v184)**. The names are (in order of their pictures):

![enter image description here](https://i.sstatic.net/0rUtn.jpg)
Kashiwagi Hatsune (柏木 初音)

![enter image description here](https://i.sstatic.net/iGaO4.jpg)
Kashiwagi Kaede (柏木 楓)

Kashiwagi Azusa (柏木 梓)

![enter image description here](https://i.sstatic.net/LT5l5.jpg)

As for "Kashiwagi Azusa"'s name (柏木 梓), I'm not sure why it was translated as "Azuki", but if you look at the original Japanese:

It says "Azusa".
