Haru Yoshida

Haru Yoshida is the main male protagonist from the My Little Monster series.
== Charactah Account ==
Stubborn, violent, temperamental and impulsive, Haru is the titular "monster" of My Little Monster. Being suspended at the beginning of the school year, Shizuku delivers his class handouts and though he faces expulsion, he refuses to return to school up until he makes an emotional connection with Shizuku, at which point he declares that he likes her and begins attending school just so that he can spend more time with her.
Going from one extreme to the next, often finding interest in what most people would find "weird" or "childish", he can be very troublesome and frightening to deal with, usually making threats and getting into fist fights with others. However, he has good intentions and wishes to connect with others, though he can be possessive of those he is close with, especially Shizuku, due to a lack of stability in his own personal life.

== Trivia ==
* The name Haru means "spring".
* Haru's surname Yoshida means "lucky, good" (yoshi) and "field, rice paddy" (da).
* Haru's blood type is O.
* When Haru was young, he spent the majority of his time alone by himself.
* Haru seems to dislike his wavy hair, admitting that he once permed it straight, and praying for straight hair at New Year's with Shizuku.
* Essentially, Haru doesn’t have any special interests in people but after knowing Shizuku Mizutani, aunt Kyoko Misawa and Oga-sensei, the kind of people who showed concern for him, it seems that he has become a person who likes steady quietness.
* Haru really likes games like the Rubik’s cube, origami, etc. where in he can play all by himself.
* In the original concept, Haru was meant to have straight, light brown hair.
* While it has not been confirmed, some believe that Haru has Asperger's Syndrome, due to him appearing to have the following symptoms.
** Not pick up on social cues and may lack inborn social skills, such as being able to read others' body language, start or maintain a conversation, and take turns talking.
** Dislike any changes in routines.
** Have a formal style of speaking that is advanced for his or her age. 
* Another plausible hypothesis, would be that Haru has ADD (Attention Deficit Disorder). It also is interesting pointing out that some people tend to misdiagnose ADD with Asperger's Syndrome and vice versa. Haru exhibits the typical impulsiveness and inattentiveness from the ADD spectrum (getting into fights, problems with discipline, always doing something else, like taking care of his chicken). Haru's difficulties with social interaction can also be explained by this diagnosis, as some children with this condition have difficulties communicating or interacting not because of a difficulty in exercising empathy, but only simply because they fail to pick up social clues due to their inattentiveness.
* There were times when Haru was not only jealous but was also quite possessive, causing some fans to believe that he might be a yandere.
** He was about to push Yamaken off the balcony after he asked Haru what he would do if Shizuku likes Yamaken more.
** In one chapter of the manga, Haru said: "I sometimes feel like I want to break her arms and legs so she can't run away.
* Haru shares the same name (nickname) as Hatsuharu Sohma from Fruits Basket
