Introduction Video
Haru's introduction.

Personality
Haru has a refreshingly boyish voice and loves to sing while playing the guitar. He's a self proclaimed introvert and an otaku, having been familiar with a wide range of old to new anime and manga. He will talk nonstop about an anime-related topic if its brought up and often makes references to them. He likes making puns and weird things like building toilets in minecraft and occasionally songs with really odd chat suggested lyrics.

He has a playful and mischievous side that likes to play childish pranks but occasionally shows a motherly side especially to VΔLZ. He often gets affectionately bullied by his seniors... though he himself has stated he wanted to be bullied.

History
Haru made his YouTube debut on 4 April 2020.

2020
On 20 November, he revealed his new winter outfit along with a customized guitar. With this outfit, he also received a new set of motions that allowed him to hold his guitar while strumming and moving his right hand along the finger board. His general range of movements widened slightly although this was not his 2.0 update.
