Haruka Saigusa (三枝 葉留佳, Saigusa Haruka) is the eighth member of the Little Busters.




Appearance


Haruka is a girl with magenta hair like Kanata, and dark blue eyes. She has her hair tied in two pigtails and has two clips in the hair at her forehead. Her school uniform is the same as the other girls with the exception that she uses striped stockings.


Biography


Haruka is a schoolmate of Riki from a different class, but despite this, always seems to find time to hang around in Riki's classroom. She is a problem child and will start an uproar for her own personal enjoyment, which causes her twin sister, the public morals chairman Kanata Futaki, to often chase after her. She use marbles as a weapon to distract the public morals committee from chasing her, and when Riki is with her, she will drag Riki away, explaining that being captured by the public morals committee means big trouble for her.
The truth is, she was abused by her family (not her parents, who were kept away from her and Kanata), while Kanata was seemingly treated very well, though truthfully she was not. She thus starts trouble to bother her sister and shame her family name. She works part-time in the school's cafeteria to get permission to use the oven to bake muffins and cakes.


Trivia


  • Despite having the same voice actor, Haruka's voice sounds different in the visual novel and the anime adaptation.
  • She likes to refer to herself as "Haruchin".
  • Haruka seems to have a talent in Math, as she is seen in a Math show in Kud Wafter.
  • Her striped colors on her stockings are bigger in the anime adaptation than in the visual novel.

  • Haruka means "far away". The names of the siblings together, Haruka Kanata, means "(really) far away"; "Haruka Kanata" is also the name of one of the vocal songs in the visual novel.
  • Haruka is the only character with clearly shown religious affiliation, or its absence, to be exact. She is a convinced atheist.

  • "I was wrong. I just wanted to know if there are evil people in the world. It's no one's fault. I don't need to hate anybody. I know that now. So I don't need to know whose kid I am. I can love myself. That's all I really wanted to know. I wanted to believe it more than anything. That no one was evil in the world."
  • "You know, if it weren't for you, I'm sure I'd still be convinced that this world was full of evil. My hatred probably would've crushed me. But you tried your hardest, facing my problems head-on...I've seen you turn everybody's expressions into smiles. And now, I can have faith that...if people care for one another, this world is overflowing with light. Thank you, Riki-kun. Haruchin will always, always be rooting for you." (Episode 26)
