Kiritani Haruka is female
 
Member of MORE MORE JUMP!

"Being an idol isn't all it's cracked up to be..."
―Kiritani Haruka (Original)
"You'll definitely become an idol who's able to deliver hope and dreams to everyone!"
―Kiritani Haruka (Brand New World)

Kiritani Haruka ((きり)(たに)(はるか)) is a second-year student at Miyamasuzaka Girls Academy. She is a member of the idol group MORE MORE JUMP!

Background

Former member of ASRUN, an idol group known nationwide. The MORE MORE JUMP! solo show has left Haruka more ready than ever to pursue her idol career. Along with Minori, she has decided to switch over to the credit-based course and focus all her energy into being an idol once more.
—Profile


As a child, Haruka had a difficult time smiling even when she was happy. She was inspired to become an idol when, while at a mall, an idol invited Haruka to dance with her onstage, causing Haruka to smile. Haruka realized she wanted to become an idol upon hearing that the girl who invited her to dance was filled with hope by watching Haruka having fun.[1] As a child and while in middle school, Haruka was an athlete, specifically a basketball player.[2]

Haruka was part of the nationally-acclaimed idol group ASRUN, and had the highest popularity ranking among all the members of the group. After a falling-out with one of the other members, she retired from being an idol and became a normal student at Miyamasuzaka Girls' Academy. Shortly after her retirement, she meets Minori on the rooftop while looking for a place to read. Soon, Minori, Airi, and Shizuku invite her to create MORE MORE JUMP! with them. She initially refuses, until she is given hope by former ASRUN member Mai.

Her mother is a nail stylist.[3]

As a first year, Haruka was classmates with Ichika and Saki in class 1-C and a member of the Sports Festival Executive Commitee. As a second year, she is part of the Miyamasuzaka credit course alongside Minori.

Appearance

Haruka has calm, light blue eyes and short blue hair, worn loose and swept bangs that cover her forehead. Her voice is warm and mellow.

Casual Outfit

In her casual outfit, Haruka wears a pale blue dress-shirt with a v-neck and hemming stitch below her hips. Below the stitch is a little bow. She has a black lacey undershirt, black pants, and a white cardigan. When she's practicing, she has an oversized hot pink silk hoodie with a large hood and black drawstrings. On her hoodie are little white text boxes with writing in them. The box on the top left reads "clover" and the box on the bottom right reads "Go back to the drawing bord". She wears black yoga pants with black-and-pink stripes on the sides.

In her second year, her casual outfit consists of an orange shirt under a white button-up left mostly open with long sleeves and partially tucked into loose gray pants with a bow tied in the front, and a loose silver choker.

Unit Outfit

Haruka shares a similar outfit to that of the rest of her group members: a white sleeveless blouse with a black ribbon underneath a vest, a black and white ruffled skirt with multiple layers, a loose black belt adorned with the group's three-leaf clover motif, and white heeled shoes. The design of Haruka's vest is the same as Minori's. Haruka's outfit differs with the color blue accenting her outfit, her blouse being tucked out of her skirt, and a thin yellow bracelet on her left wrist. Her head accessory is a small bow of multiple colors---Black, white, and blue---and a unique design.

Her group's new uniform consists of a white double-breasted coat with flouncy sleeves, a dark gray belt adorned with the group's three-leaf clover motif, a skirt over a longer white skirt, and white heeled shoes. The coat neckline, overskirt, and shoe cuffs have a blue plaid appearance. Accessories include dark gray ribbons pinned with gold three-leaf clovers, white wrist cuffs, and a three-leaf clover winged hair clip. Her outfit's accent color is blue.

Personality

Haruka is very charismatic, formerly being the most popular member of ASRUN. In Minori's words, she is "the kind of idol who is able to give everyone hope for a better tomorrow".[4] She is a strict and dedicated person, working in regular routines of rigorous workouts to stay at an idol's standard. However, due to her overly diligent nature, she has difficulty relaxing and giving herself a break. This dedication applies to her studies, as the VIRTUAL SINGERS mention her excellent grades.[5] She restricts herself on sweets and pastries, which, in response, causes cravings. She is attentive to the schedules and specials of pastry shops.

Haruka is composed yet bold, unafraid to talk back and tease her friends. She is rather sporty, liking basketball, and as a child she was quite competitive. She also loves penguins, owns a ton of penguin merch, and sometimes gets emotional when receiving penguin merch as a gift.

Etymology

Kiritani (桐谷) means "paulownia", also known as "empress tree". In the language of flowers, paulownia means "noble".[6]

Haruka (遥) means "far off, distant".

Relationships

Subpage: Relationships

Hanasato Minori: Fellow group member and friend. Haruka values Minori as a friend, but initially feels as though their relationship is complicated due to Minori's fascination of Haruka's idol self. She is deeply grateful towards Minori for helping her rediscover the desire to be an idol once more. Haruka is also shown to be very appreciative of Minori's later efforts on getting to know more about Haruka's non-idol self.[7]

Momoi Airi: Fellow group member and friend. Haruka thinks Airi is undervalued in the idol world. Before the main story, Haruka had seen Airi perform on a short segment for a show, and she immediately left an impression on her due to her work ethic and dedication. In the Happy Lovely Everyday! event, Haruka got concerned for Airi, and decided to give her a section to herself in the show in order to prove to her that she’s liked for more than just Happy Everyday.

Hinomori Shizuku: Fellow group member. As ASRUN and Cheerful*Days members, they had performed together prior to forming MORE MORE JUMP!, and during their first meeting, Haruka comforted Shizuku and complimented her for working harder than anyone else in the group.[8] Haruka appreciates her hard work and encourages her to be her imperfect, more authentic self to their fans.

Hoshino Ichika: Friends following the Miyamasuzaka Sports Festival event. Haruka appreciates Ichika for treating her like a normal person. The two were also classmates in Class 1-C during their first year.

Tenma Saki: Friends following the Miyamasuzaka Sports Festival event. Just like Ichika, Saki treats Haruka like a normal person, which makes her happy. The two were also classmates in Class 1-C during their first year.

Hinomori Shiho: Friends following the Miyamasuzaka Sports Festival event. They later interact more in the A Gentleman Thief's Thrilling White Day?! event where they decide to go together to the chocolate factory. They also have a shared love for mascot characters.

Azusawa Kohane: Friends following the Time to hang out♪ event. Haruka enjoys teasing her.

Shiraishi An: Childhood friends since elementary school. Haruka was competitive and often competed with An in silly contests, like who could run faster or who could eat their entire lunch first.[9] However, they were separated when Haruka went to Miyamasuzaka and An to Kamiyama High School. They still hang out together outside of school.

Otori Emu: Friends whom first officially meet through the Sports Festival Executive Committee during one of the planning sessions for the Festival, though Haruka had heard about Emu prior to this. When Emu expresses her desire to make the Sports Festival an event that leaves people motivated even when it's over, Haruka is reminded of Minori and her determination to bring hope to people. This similarity is what prompts Haruka to offer her support and help to Emu, to which the latter is grateful. From there they become good friends, both promising to continue doing their best together at the end of the Sports Festival.

Akiyama Mizuki: Acquaintances through An.

Hatsune Miku: VIRTUAL SINGER and friend.

Kagamine Rin: VIRTUAL SINGER and friend.

Kagamine Len: VIRTUAL SINGER and friend.

Megurine Luka: VIRTUAL SINGER and friend.

MEIKO: VIRTUAL SINGER and friend.

KAITO: VIRTUAL SINGER and friend.

Mai: Haruka's former groupmate from ASRUN. While their relationship had become somewhat turbulent as a result of Mai's breakdown and Haruka stepping down from ASRUN, which led to it disbanding, the two eventually reconciled.

Trivia

  • Haruka is a fan of Phenny, the Phoenix Wonderland mascot, mainly because Phenny resembles a penguin.[10]
