== Involvement ==
=== Yakuza 5: 2012 ===
Akari bumps into Haruka just as the latter is leaving her apartment the morning of the day the Princess League finals begin. She teases Haruka for forgetting who she is, despite them being in adjacent homerooms, although Haruka does remember that they share their Home Economics class. Akari sympathizes with Haruka's struggle to fit in at school, as she had also moved to Osaka from Tokyo last year due to her father's work, while also assuring her that their schoolmates are simply shy about getting to know Haruka due to her being an idol. She convinces Haruka into becoming friends, and goes on to mention that she partakes in street dancing, aiming to become a choreographer in her future.
