Kokona Haruka

**Kokona Haruka, whose real name is Kokona Harukawa, is one of the female students who attends Akademi High School. She was also the second test rival, the first being Victim-chan.**

## Appearance

Kokona wears the default female school uniform unless customized by the player. She has fair skin, light purple eyes, and a bust size of 2. Her hair is a light purple color and is styled into twin-drills with right-swept bangs and rounded locks that frame her face. As a member of the Drama Club, she wears a red rose accessory in her hair, as well as a purple friendship bracelet on her right wrist. If the Drama Club is disbanded, she will remove her rose accessory for the rest of the game. If her reputation drops too low, she will remove her bracelet. She previously had purple thigh high socks, and is still shown wearing them in fan interpretations.

In her alternate outfit, she wears a lilac pullover sweater with a white collar, a gold heart shaped necklace, a two-tiered lace skirt, white socks, and lilac flats with black piping. She wears this outfit in the "Driving Your Rival video and in the town where she participates in compensated dating. In this outfit, she has looser curls in her hair and the rose and bracelet accessories are removed. She also appears to have pink lipstick

## Personality

Among the personas currently implemented in the game, she is a Social Butterfly. She will happily pose for a picture if Ayano aims her phone at her. If she sees a corpse or witnesses a murder, she will run to the nearest secluded area and call the police. She cannot participate in physical fights against murderers unless she witnesses them murder Saki Miyu.

According to her former Student Profile, Kokona may be participating in compensated dating (also known as Enjo kōsai) and may be a victim of domestic abuse, though the latter has been proven false as of the June 1st, 2016 Build. Although she does not enjoy it, Kokona only engages in such an activity to try and help her father out of debt. Her biggest regret is getting Saki involved with her issues.

According to her current Student Profile, Kokona admires Kizana Sunobu, leader of the Drama Club, and joined the club to learn how to be more like her.

If she and Ayano ever teamed up to kidnap Musume Ronshaku, Musume would be able to push Kokona to the point of murder if she was repeatedly mocked by the former for her father's financial situation and her compensated dating.

In one of Druelbozo's streams, he explains that Kokona tries hard to become popular, but she is constantly bullied. However, YandereDev has confirmed that Druelbozo's stream comments aren't entirely canonical.

## Background

When Kokona was younger, she was a normal cute baby with the potential to become anything she wanted to, just like any other.

It is assumed in a conversation between her and Saki Miyu on the rooftop that she has been abused by her drunk father after her mother's death. This is incorrect. When spoken to, Kokona will talk about how her father comes to her to cry about his debt problems. Her family is very broke due to a loan he took out to pay for Kokona's school tuition, accidentally becoming in debt with a group of loan sharks, called Ronshaku Loans.

Kokona Haruka is also involved in compensated dating with a person who she has seen at least once in Shisuta Town. Kokona does this to pay for her father's debts. If Kokona's dark secret is bought, Yandere-chan will receive video footage of Kokona selling used panties to a boy from another school that can be used as blackmail.

## Relationships

### Saki Miyu

Kokona is seemingly good friends with Saki and almost opens up to her about her father's debt problems. According to Saki's Student Profile, Kokona is willing to tell Saki about personal matters, but not too much.

However, if Saki learns about Kokona's compensated dating, she will be distraught and won't do anything to help Kokona out. In the full game, Saki might have comforting animations for Kokona but will avoid her if it gets too bad.

Saki Miyu will not be Kokona's senpai, as they are just friends.

It is revealed that Kokona had Saki involved in her plans for her father to get out of debt, though regrets having Saki help her, as Saki planned to sell her underpants to boys from other schools but was too embarrassed to carry it out. This sets up Saki's task for Ayano to find her bra somewhere at school.

As of the October 31, 2019 Build, Kokona will attack Ayano with the strength of Budo (Peak Physical Strength) if the latter kills Saki in front of her, and the same goes for Saki if Kokona is killed.

Senpai

Kokona was a test rival. The only event that showed her feelings was her Wednesday speech, where she hid behind the tree and spoke while staring at Senpai. This event could be used as an opportunity to poison Kokona's bento.
