Career

In 2004, at the age of 13, Haru entered the entertainment industry after being scouted by Hori Agency.[1][7] She made her screen acting debut in the 2006 WOWOW television drama Taigan no Kanojo.[7] In 2007, she debuted as an exclusive model for the fashion magazine Seventeen.[8]

She released her first single, titled "I Miss You/Message: Asu no Boku e," on April 16, 2008.[9] This song was used as the ending theme in the TBS variety show Kami Summers.[10] In 2010 she appeared in a lead role for the first time in the live-action film Maria-sama ga Miteru.[5]

A 2012 NTT DoCoMo TV commercial raised her public profile,[7] and from 2012 to 2015 she was an exclusive model for the fashion magazine non-no.[11] In March 2015 she was cast as lead character in the 93rd NHK Asadora Asa ga Kita.[12]

On January 1, 2018, she opened her Instagram account.[13] She later uploaded a video wishing her fans a "Happy New Year."[14]
