Overview

HARUSARUHI is a virtual singer from KAMITSUBAKI STUDIO and a member of V.W.P. She is usually recognized through the force of her delivery first: high-impact vocals, emotional drive, and a style that can feel both aggressive and unexpectedly youthful.

Inside the wider Kamitsubaki lineup, she often reads as one of the most immediately energetic members. She can sing with the destructive power of a typhoon or the innocence of a young girl, drawing listeners in with her powerful and versatile vocal ability.

Role and Creative Position

Rather than being defined by one fixed genre, HARUSARUHI is often defined by what her voice does to a song. Her performances can feel storm-like and confrontational, but they can also shift into a more open, almost childlike directness. That contrast is central to her identity.

Within V.W.P, she frequently occupies the sharper and more explosive edge of the unit’s internal balance, making her interactions in derived songs and live performances a highlight.

Personality and Anecdotes

  • Rap origins: she only started seriously taking on rap after joining KAMITSUBAKI and had not previously worked as a rapper.
  • Name origin: the reason behind the name HARUSARUHI is “a secret”.
  • Favourite animals: cats because she cannot read what they are thinking and hamsters because she can.
  • How she likes to be addressed: she dislikes being called “big sister” or “boss” and is mostly called “Haru-chan”.
  • Current obsession: choux cream.
  • Favourite artists: supercell, EGOIST, and the rapper Tsubaki.
  • Where she wants to go after coming of age: the aquarium. She later went with ISEKAIJOUCHO.
  • Sport she is good at: swimming — though she has not swum in so long that she has forgotten when the last time was.
  • On her colleagues: she says she is a fan of every KAMITSUBAKI member. She wants to pat KAF on the head, sing a lullaby with RIM, and ask ISEKAIJOUCHO for singing tips.
  • On her voice: because the range of her timbre and technique is so wide, she has been teased about having multiple personalities.

Basic Profile and Character Setting

HARUSARUHI was introduced as a Virtual Rapper. Her visual identity, designed by Hotake Fujimaru, combines black hair with red and blue streaks, golden eyes, headphones, and functional streetwear. “Virtual Rapper” is an important starting position, not a restriction to one genre.

Forms, Setting, and Anecdotes

HARUSARUHI first appeared in 3D at KAF’s Fukakai (Re) in 2020, and later forms were developed for one-man lives and large Kamitsubaki events. “Multiple personalities” in fan culture is a character motif or performance language, not a real-world diagnosis. HARU is an independent synthetic voicebank and character built from her vocal data.

Visual Design Archive

HARUSARUHI’s character design is by the illustrator Hotake Fujimaru, oriented around a “streetwise youth × high-temperature combustion” aesthetic.

UpperWhite sleeveless top, red fingerless gloves, blue off-shoulder jacket
LowerBlack shorts and high-cut boots
SocksTorn long sock on the left leg, strapped mesh tights on the right — the asymmetric detail is her signature

The asymmetrical socks and the “fracture–binding” motif echo the themes of defiance, wounds and self-liberation that recur throughout her music, making her the most aggressive visual composition in V.W.P.

Commercial Tie-ups and Theme Songs

Beyond anime themes, HARUSARUHI has supplied theme songs and inserts for projects including the TV anime KAMITSUBAKI CITY UNDER CONSTRUCTION, making her one of the members most closely bound to filmed works.

Discography, Live Performance, and Collaborations

The early singles establish a high-impact rap route, while Shingan gathers that energy into an album-length statement. “Jiyu-ritsu” records everyday thoughts and immediate language and should be distinguished from formally released singles. “Ibasho”, “Kakusei feat. Sanari”, “Aishū sae mo Nakama”, and “Oarana” show the catalogue opening toward melodic and media-tie-in work. The Shamanism lives, Cream Puff Live covers, Singularity Live, and V.W.P performances document her role as a rhythmic and emotional accelerant.

Takayan contributed to early rap lyrics and “Jiyu-ritsu” materials; Hotake Fujimaru is responsible for the core character design. Descriptions such as “typhoon-like” are performance metaphors, not a complete genre definition.

Live Performance Archive

HARUSARUHI STREAMING COVER LIVE “Choux Cream Live”

  • A cover-driven online streaming series that served as her primary outlet when physical shows were difficult.
  • The set lists ranged across anime songs, Vocaloid tracks and J-rock, foregrounding her forceful rap delivery and explosive energy.
  • A sequel, “Choux Cream Live 2”, followed, establishing the series as a fixture.

HARUSARUHI 1st ONE-MAN LIVE “Shamanism”

  • Date: 27 August 2021.
  • Structure: opened with “Juju” as a “prelude”, then ran through core songs including “Gyakuten”, “Moushin”, “Life Up” and “Oogoto”.
  • Naming logic: “shamanism” resonates with the witch’s function of summoning and dispelling through voice.
  • Series continuation: followed by “Shamanism II” and “Shamanism III”, making it one of the most continuous solo concert series in KAMITSUBAKI.

The “HARUSARUHI Jiyuuritsu” Series

“HARUSARUHI Jiyuuritsu” is a short-form rap series she posted on Twitter from 2020 onward. Different producers supplied the tracks while HARUSARUHI and Takayan co-wrote lyrics, recording everyday moods and the temper of the times in something close to an improvised diary.

Significance: a rare serialised creative project within KAMITSUBAKI, and the main path by which HARUSARUHI established her identity as a rapper — she only began seriously taking on rap after joining the studio. The 2026 album Jiyuuritsu takes its title from this series.

HARUSARUHI is connected to V.W.P, to Kamitsubaki’s larger live series, and to the musical isotope HARU. In the broader internal map of Kamitsubaki voices, she represents one of the clearest poles of speed, pressure, and impact.
