Kasuga Haruna (春日春奈?) is a character in the D4DJ franchise and is a member of the group Lyrical Lily.
Profile[]
Haruna is an earnest girl who belongs to her high school's disciplinary committee. Her softhearted nature always gets her involved in all sorts of trouble. She pretends to not hold any interest in DJ activities, but she can't hide her love of audio equipment which she learned from her father.[2]
Appearance[]
Haruna has long, straight, maroon hair that reaches the middle of her back. Her eyes are a gold color.
Personality[]
As a serious and responsible person, Haruna is often the target of Miiko and Kurumi's pranks, as well as other awkward situations for her. While she often reacts or attempts to react to this as a straight man, it often leaves her defenseless, especially when it comes to Miyu or Aoi, people she admires passionately. Even though she has disciplinarian tendencies, Haruna is a sincere and kind girl who is always willing to help out the people around her.
Etymology[]
Kasuga (春日) can be split in two parts. Kasu (春) meaning "spring" or "springtime" and Ga(日) meaning "sun, day".
Haruna (春奈) can also be split in two parts. The first kanji, 春 (Haru), is the same one from her last name. Na (奈) translates to "but", "how", but it also could mean "bear" (to bear), "stand" or "endure".
Trivia[]
