Provided is an azo compound represented by formula (1A). L.sup.1 and L.sup.2 each represent a divalent linking group or a single bond. y represents 1 or 2. p and q each represent 0 or 1, and at least one of p and q is 1. X represents an oxygen atom or NR.sup.5, and R.sup.5 represents a hydrogen atom or an aliphatic hydrocarbon group. R.sup.12, R.sup.13, and R.sup.14 each represent an aliphatic hydrocarbon group or the like, and may each have a polymerizable group. Q represents a single bond or a group selected from the group consisting of OC(O), C(O)O, CC, CHCH, NN, NHC(O), and C(O)NH. Ar.sup.1, Ar.sup.2, and Ar.sup.3 each represent a 1,4-phenylene group or a divalent sulfur-containing aromatic heterocyclic group. When y is 2, two Ar.sup.3s may be the same or different.

A thermal transfer recording sheet includes a substrate, a yellow coloring material layer, a magenta coloring material layer, a cyan coloring material layer, and a protective layer. The yellow coloring material layer, the magenta coloring material layer, the cyan coloring material layer, and the protective layer are frame-sequentially arranged over the substrate. The protective layer contains a compound represented by formula (1):
