== Character Bio ==
"Haruka was a member of the nationally famous idol group ASRUN. Her incredible charisma made her the most popular member of that group, but unfortunately, it was disbanded. She goes to Miyamasuzaka Girls Academy, same as Minori."
== Background ==
Haruka used to be part of the nationally-acclaimed idol group ASRUN. She had the highest popularity ranking among all the members of the group. After the group broke up, Haruka left the entertainment industry and returned to high school. She quit because when she kept trying to encourage one of her groupmates, Mai, because she wasn’t doing as well in performances anymore, Mai pushed herself too hard and resulted in permanently injuring her voice. Mai blamed Haruka for making her believe she could do it. Also blaming herself, the incident deeply affected Haruka, making her believe she no longer had the right to be an idol. It came to the point where she could not even stand on stage or even next to a stage anymore since her legs would shake tremendously and wouldn't move. However, when she had just retired, she met Minori on the school rooftop, who was a big fan of hers and was aiming to become an idol just like Haruka. After a series of events, Minori, Airi, and Shizuku decided to put on a show for Haruka that restored her hope and will to be an idol, and Haruka decided to form MORE MORE JUMP! together with the other three.
