## Biography

She initially aimed to be an actress, but worried about her low stature, she developed an interest for anime and decided to become a voice actress.
She was initially signed to Pro-Fit and was a member of the new voice actor unit "tamaco" (タマコ), in the TV program "Seiryuumon [ja]".
After leaving Pro Fit, she didn't take on any new voice actor role and only continued on her established roles, working freelance for around two and a half years. But on February 1, 2018, she joined Mausu Production and completely resumed her voice acting career. She has worked as a company employee. Even after joining Mausu, she kept balancing her company work with her voice acting career.

### Background

Having grown up watching Disney Channel, one of her dreams was to work on a Disney Channel production. She fullfilled her dream by dubbing 101 Dalmatian Street, which started airing in Japan in July 2019, and is happy about it.
She is the second of three sisters. She often writes posts in her blog showing her affection for her sisters.
She describes herself as shy. She sometimes shows a more philosophical side through her words and actions.
She likes mystery games, and is a qualified bookkeeping inspector (organization unknown).
Her hobby is watching figure skating. She can distinguish between figure skating jumps. Her interest began during the 2010 Winter Olympics, when she wondered why Mao Asada and Yuna Kim had such high scores. The following year, in 2011, she watched Adelina Sotnikova, Elizaveta Tuktamysheva, and Polina Shelepen compete in junior competitions (2010–11 ISU Junior Grand Prix, 2010–11 Grand Prix of Figure Skating Final, 2011 World Junior Figure Skating Championships) and became particularly fond of Russian figure skaters. Elena Radionova, who began to perform well as a novice around the same time, is her "lifelong favorite." Since then, she has supported a wide range of skaters, from novice to senior, mainly Russian skaters. Because of this, her favorite skaters are often in their early teens, and when she introduces them to others, they are sometimes a little put off by their youth. When her favorite skaters have participated in competitions in Japan, she has even gone to watch them in person with a cheering banner. When talking about figure skating, she can get too passionate, which can sometimes put others off. She is also interested in Russian language because she likes Russian athletes, and she gets excited talking about Russia with Sumire Uesaka, who also likes Russia.
Her other hobbies and skills include reading, watching movies, and listening to music. her dialect is Sanuki dialect.
She likes chicken eggs. She eats three fried or boiled eggs every morning. She is good at cooking fried eggs. She is particular about how she cooks them.
She likes salt, pepper, and Japanese pepper.
She plays the main character, Inori Yuitsuka, in Medalist saying she's such an enthusiastic fan that she dreamed of playing the role of Inori from the beginning of the series. On the other hand, the author of the series, Tsurumaikada, was an enthusiastic fan of Haruse even before he became a manga artist, and this is the fruition of both their feelings.
