Haruka Nanakusa

Haruka Nanakusa (ハルカ) is a scam artist in Hokkaido and an underling of Haru Nanakusa, whose name he took inspiration from for his alias after Haru's disappearance. Over forty years afterwards, Haruka crossed ways with Kou Yamori and met Haru's identical-looking daughter Nazuna Nanakusa. In spite of their rivalry, Haruka chose to aid Kou in his goals alongside his vampire friends.

Appearance
Haruka looks like a high-school boy, wearing a gakuran blazer, a white shirt underneath, and matching pants. His hair is bright-colored, short, and has a spiky profile. He has a mole on the left side of his chin, and his eyes have a ring pattern, like Haru's and Nazuna's, which becomes a spiral pattern in certain situations.

Personality
Haruka is a very lax and casual person. He seems friendly and straightforward when approaching strangers, asking them if they want to take a photo with him.

Under that exterior lies a cunning manipulator. He first takes photos with tourists and then demands money for it out of nowhere. He is methodical and knows his limits, backing off from scamming Saki when he concludes that there is something unusual about Kou, instead relying on Saki falling for him and coming alone when they meet. He is well aware of the effect he has on girls and uses it to his advantage; this includes several women he is in a relationship with while pretending to be loyal to each one of them, using their money to keep himself afloat.

He is very gleeful while fighting, shown when he lets out frenzied laughter and continuously taunts Kou as they exchange blows.

Haruka does seem to care about formality and honor, at least if it's about him or other vampires; He didn't like Kou leaving out the "san" while saying his name, and also became furious when Kou punched him while he was distracted, calling it cheating and yelling that he would kill him. When Haruka initially believed that Kou was a vampire, he was willing to let him and Saki go, apologizing for stealing another vampire's prey.

Haruka is shown to have a kind side, as he claims never to kill the tourists whose blood he sucks, sending them away after having his fill. While he leeches off many of them, he genuinely likes the people of Hokkaido and wants to have a good relationship with them and wants them to live good lives.

In his human days, Haruka was suicidal and claimed that he always wanted to die, never once having felt alive. He was happy for a short while, which gave him the courage to end his life. After he got turned into a vampire, he felt less alive than ever before, though he still had occasional happy moments.

Haru Nanakusa
Haruka fell in love with Haru. She caused him to feel happy for the first time, which encouraged him to commit suicide without regrets. He later asked Haru why she turned him into a vampire since she herself was tired of being one. Still, Haru's presence comforted him. After Haru disappeared, it heavily impacted Haruka, causing him to move somewhere where nobody knew him. He started to think that she saw him as nothing but food and didn't have many memories left of Haru after 40 years. After he learned of Haru's fate, he started to sob and confessed that he still missed her immensely and was hoping that she would return one day.
