Haruka Kaki, born on August 8, 2001, in Osaka Prefecture, Japan, and hailing from Tachigi
Prefecture, is a talented idol who shines brightly as a member of the popular girl group Nogizaka 46.
Standing at a height of 166cm and with Taipei blood, Haruka Kaki has charmed fans with her
unique aura and dedication since her debut in the entertainment industry.
Her journey began in 2018, when she felt a strong desire for a change in her everyday life.
This led her to audition for the Sakumichi Joint Audition on August 19 of the same year,
a decision that marked the start of an exciting chapter as she successfully joined Nogizaka 46
in November and got unveiled as a fourth-generation member in December during a showcase at Nippon
Budokan. Haruka Kaki's career took a significant leap forward in 2019 when she got selected for
12:00
the first time to be in the forefront row of the 24th single Yoakumetsu Yogurnakutami.
Then, in 2020, she captivated the audience by taking the center position in the fourth-generation
song I See. from Nogizaka 46's 25th single Shiawase no Hagasyoku. Following that, in April 2021,
she became a Thursday regular on the Artist Locks segment within the radio program School of Lock.
This same year, she honored the group by being the center for the title track of their 28th single
Kimi ni Shikareta, making her the 13th member to achieve this role within Nogizaka 46.
2022 saw the release of Haruka Kaki's first solo photobook Masara on June 7,
marking a memorable milestone as the first photobook from a fourth-generation member.
When it was released, it achieved a remarkable initial print run of 160,000 copies,
setting a new record for the publisher. Later that year, she returned as the center for the
single Tsuki de Iwa Rock Days, proving her consistent growth and popularity among fans.
Aside from her idol activities, Haruka Kaki has also showcased her acting skills in television
dramas like Yenma Dusara's Mystery Tales and first as Rock Paper Scissors, participated in variety
shows, and even performed the first pitch at a baseball game between the Tokyo Yakult Swallows
and the Hiroshima Toyo Carp in 2023. Furthermore, her talents extend to drawing, a hobby she
passionately pursues, occasionally sharing her illustrations on her blog and various media
platforms. She once revealed that if she hadn't made it as an idol, she would have pursued a
career in art. Widely admired by fans for her diverse talents, kindness, and dedication,
Haruka Kaki continues to inspire with her performances in Nogizaka 46. Whether it's
through her singing, acting, or art, there's no limit to what this exceptional idol can achieve.
