Noteworthy Positive Characteristics:
  • Cool and composed

  • To most people, Haruka would look in control of himself at all times. And he is indeed very capable of handling himself (unless he's really shaken emotionally), such as when he just started driving with his friend being a nervous backseat driver. His stoic demeanor gives him a sense of mental strength and makes him look reliable to others, often drawing them to him.

  • Dedicated friend

  • Haruka would do anything for his friends. It's conveyed in small actions like going to a festival just because Nagisa and Rei want him to come along, or something major like diving into a storming ocean to rescue Makoto. He'll even drop all sense of composure and scream running after Rin if he can help him. As he bonds more with any team he's on, he'll speak up to encourage them, helping to rally them for the next competition. Despite how he often represses his emotions, he tries to show his friends that he appreciates them, even directly telling them such.

  • Hard worker

  • When Haruka puts his mind to something, he doesn't do it halfway. Even in elementary school, he paved a cement path from the road to his house's doorway so his shoes wouldn't get muddy. Starting high school, he was already fully self-sufficient, cooking and cleaning on his own. Though he seemed uncaring about the Iwatobi High School Swim Club being established at first, he carved a large box full of promotional mascot keychains to help advertise it and spent lunch breaks helping to clean the outdoor pool. He trains hard for swimming races, and is now a college athlete.

  • Perceptive

  • Even if he looks aloof, he's shown to pay attention to the feelings of people around him, especially if they look troubled. He knew when Makoto was uneasy about training by the ocean while trying to hide it, or when Rei was looking irritated by being kept out of the loop about Rin. Though he also sizes people up if they look like they'll cause him trouble, like Rin (who really ended up changing his life).


Noteworthy Negative Characteristics:
  • Bottles up emotions

  • When there's a subject that could trouble others, Haruka avoids it. He hesitates telling even his best friend about what troubles him, avoiding the subject of life after high school in Eternal Summer. He uses the water to escape his emotions, the stimulation providing distraction. But if it all comes to a head, he ends up breaking down, becoming listless and even getting snappy with his friends who try to help him.

  • Stubborn

  • He acts on his impulses and initial judgments. When apartment hunting, he refused any place that had an induction cook top instead of a gas stove. He also throws off his clothes in public, uncaring that he might make a scene, if he sees a clean body of water to jump into. He also can't be dissuaded out of a superstition, insistent that someone's talking about him when he sneezes.

  • Socially awkward

  • Haruka might be admired, but his lack of social skills becomes obvious at times and he can come off very weird. When he was recruiting for the swim team, he walked to the closest people he could find and into their personal space, offering them a promotional mascot keychain with a imposing expression. If he's annoyed enough with a subject, he finds no problem in walking away while the other person is talking. It often takes strange bonding experiences for him to make new friends.

  • Takes guilt on easily

  • Even if it's not directly his fault, Haruka fears hurting others and closes himself off partially out of fear of hurting someone he cares about. He believed he was the reason Rin quit his dream of being an Olympic swimmer and so he quit his own swim team, not being able to enjoy it anymore. But quitting that team also meant leaving his teammate Ikuya behind, who'd become very invested in the team. Though the situation with Rin was resolved in high school, Haru's guilt about Ikuya becoming isolated again lasts with him even into college.


Character Fears: Losing those closest to him, deeply hurting others, and life-sized human dolls
Powers/Abilities: He's a human from a non-magical world, but he's a powerful swimmer and generally athletic with sharp reflexes, skilled with any detailed work with his dexterous hands.
Personal Item: His smartphone, with pictures of Iwatobi and his friends saved on it.
