Haruka started her career first as a gravure idol, then branched off into acting small roles in television dramas, with the 2003 Fuji TV drama "The Way I Live" (Boku no Ikiru Michi).
More recently, Haruka has become just as popular on the big screen performing as the leading actress in such films as "Cyborg Girl" "Happy Flight" "Ichi" and "Oppai Volleyball."
