== Charactah Account ==
Dreaming of being an idol since she was young, Haruka is a very cheerful and hard-working girl who loves to sing. When she was little, she once sang with a young lady who was a talented singer at a park. This moment led Haruka aiming to become an idol to keep on singing for her supporting fans.
Due to her nature, Haruka can quite easily get along with almost anybody, hence the reason why President Takagi calls her "a normal girl". Haruka is also very clumsy, frequently tripping and falling, but despite her clumsiness, she loves to dance and participate in sports events. It is said that she trips and falls once a day, but one of her rumors in Theater Days states that she does it three times a day.
One of Haruka's main hobbies is baking sweets. She especially loves to make cakes and cookies and bring them to the office with her and share them with the staff. On her days off Haruka loves to research new recipes or go to the local bakery to buy cakes to study and later try to mimic herself.

== Trivia ==
* Haruka's trademark accessories are her twin ribbons. In certain outfits they are replaced with barrettes, but she always has a hair decoration of some kind. An exception to this is the Vivid Bikini costume, where she wears a single flower in her hair. She also has a single hair decoration with some costumes such as Bikini of Siren.
* According to the arcade version, Haruka's email address is spring-fragrance4.3@idolmaster.jp. The kanji in her name means "spring fragrance" while 4.3 is her birthday, April 3rd.
* Haruka prefers to practice her singing in the park due to a childhood memory.
* According to the anime, Haruka hates living alone.
* In the anime, Haruka is stated to live very far from the office. Her home train station is based on Ninomiya Station in Kanagawa, which is over an hour via train from Tokyo.
** Several of Haruka's commus in various games refer to a grandmother who lives in the country that Haruka is very close to.
* Haruka is sometimes portrayed as a dark and violent person in fan art. This alter-ego is called Dark Haruka (Harukakka) (a combination of Haruka's name and kakka, meaning "your Excellency"). It started as a joke about her seiyuu's personality, but was turned into a phenomenon once it gained popularity with the fandom's growing base on Nico Nico Douga (later known as Nico Nico Video). It is even referenced in Puchimasu!, as Harukasan likes to say "Kakka".
* Another alternate Haruka similar to Harukakka is Home Haruka. As part of promotion for THE iDOLM@STER SP, Sony released special items for PlayStation Home. However, when these special items were released, they were revealed to be a plastic mask of Haruka's grinning face and a Haruka skin with odd proportions and a lifeless stance. Fans were confused and frightened by this bizarre release, and it soon became a point of comedy, with fans making MMD videos that depict Home Haruka doing bizarre and creepy things. Fan culture also depicts Home Haruka as some sort of horror movie creature.
* Haruka is teased by fans because of the characteristic face she usually makes while thinking. It is called "nonowa", because her eyes and mouth look very similar to the Japanese text のヮの. More information can be found here: Nonowa and the creatures.
