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 Nogizaka46.
Standing at a height of 166 cm 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 Nogizaka46
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
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 Nogizaka46's 25th single Shiawase no Hagasyoku. Following that, in April 2021,
she became a Thursday regular on the artist Lock's 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 Nogizaka46.
2022 saw the release of Haruka Kaki's first solo photobook Misara 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 Suki
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
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.
And now, A Announcement
On December 11, the 37th single Pedestrian Bridge will be released.
Sakura Endo takes the center position in this song, which features a beautiful melody typical
