Haruka Tomatsu

Haruka Tomatsu (戸松 遥, Tomatsu Haruka, born February 4, 1990 in Ichinomiya, Aichi) is a Japanese actor, voice actor, and singer affiliated with Music Ray'n. She married a man outside the entertainment industry and announced the birth of her daughter on February 9, 2021. Fans sometimes refer to her as Toma-chan, Haru-chan, or Harukasu.

When Music Ray'n had been holding auditions for new voice actors, Tomatsu was encouraged by a friend to participate. She was rather ambivalent with voice acting at first, but became motivated to try upon remembering her junior high self's dream of someday performing for Studio Ghibli. Having been accustomed to traveling between Tokyo and her residence of Nagoya at the time via bullet train, she opted to move closer to her workplace after graduating from high school.

Although Tomatsu had to continue juggling both her occupation and university studies, her hard work eventually paid off when she started landing more major roles like Asuna Yuuki in the Sword Art Online series. During the 7th and 9th Seiyu Awards, she won the Best Supporting Actress Award and the Synergy Award respectively.

Tomatsu launched her music career in 2008, releasing multiple singles that constantly made it to the Oricon weekly charts. She also became a member of the music unit Sphere which comprised of her and fellow voice actors Aki Toyosaki, Minako Kotobuki, and Ayahi Takagaki. Within the group, she is often seen as the mood maker who pushes her friends forward while lacking in style and grace. Her interests include sudoku, sharks, movies, and making snacks.

While Tomatsu's vocal range is versatile enough to take on various roles, she is more commonly known by fans for voicing tsundere characters just like her contemporary Rie Kugimiya. She has lent her performances to Gruier Serenity in Bodacious Space Pirates: Abyss of Hyperspace, Peridot in Breath of Fire 6, and Iris Cannary in Violet Evergarden.
