Background
Haruka Yuki is the son of a powerful yakuza family that secretly excels in discovering and experimenting on the unknown. The group, at first, mistaken him as a female due to his semi-girly features and thus giving him the name 'Haruka' for it, but were shocked after discovering him as a male. In a young age, Haruka was trained like an assassin under his father, choosing one handed swords as his potential weapon. He never experienced the normal happiness that children his age get and was practically confined in his family house for years. His fate changed when his father sacrificed himself for the name of the family and his mother became the head of group. He began going to school, but due to his training, he accidentally initiated an act of bullying and turned into detention. It was there that he met Shiki Kirihara and the two became good friends. Though their friendship was steady, it began to fall apart when they started middle school where Shiki told him that Haruka is boring and that he knows about his family being a yakuza. Shiki broke their friendship and left him crushed, which caused him to go abroad five years prior to the events of PπF2. He returned as a transfer student and skipped a year due to his intelligence, making him a grade older than the protagonist and a batch mate of Shiki.

Personality
Haruka shows a great sense of responsibility since he is part of the Student Council, the captain of the Kendo club and also the heir of the Yuki yakuza group. He speaks in great seriousness at first due to the lack of friendliness towards the protagonist, but as the story progresses, he begins to show a caring and understanding demeanor. He shows great hostility towards Shiki due to what happened in the past and avoids him as much as possible. However, after Shiki apologizes for what he did, the two reconcile and start over again. If the protagonist reaches a certain point in his Social Link, he will confess that he has strange feelings towards Shiki and fears that this feelings are beyond the level of friendship.

In further sequels, Haruka begins to sound mature yet still keeps some of his childish personality.

Weapons
Haruka's signature weapon is a katana. He can't change into any weapons besides an one handed swords. His physical attack is Slash attack.

Enkidu
In Third Alter, Haruka's playstyle ranges solely from physical attacks. The spells present at his disposal are Brave Blade (inflicts Severe Slash damage), Tetrakarn (enables Haruka to block any physical attack once per activate), Cool Breeze (lets Haruka restore some HP and SP) and Provoke (inflicts Enraged ailment). His weapon, Glimmering Moon, enables him to fully execute his skills in samurai swordsplay, and together with his knowledge during his stay in the Kendo club, he can break his opponent's guard in just three slashes, making Haruka one of the strongest characters in Third Alter. Though strong, he can't guard against other characters who excel mostly in either speed, range or chain combos (such as Chantal Vel). His Instant Kill skill is Blade Spiral, which enables Haruka to slash his opponents multiple times to the point of going over 100+ hits.
