Haruka Kiritani

—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]

In third grade, Haruka decided she wanted to become an idol.[3] She then became part of the nationally-acclaimed idol group ASRUN, where she ended up having 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.[4]

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.

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.
