Haruka Sawamura.png

Haruka Sawamura was orphaned at a young age.

After coming out of prison, Kazuma Kiryu was no longer a yakuza, but got pulled back in after rescuing Haruka, who was the daughter of his love interest.

The yakuza who raised Kiryu was killed, and Kiryu was named the fifth chairman of the Tojo Clan.

However, after Haruka's mom was killed, Kiryu left the yakuza permanently.

Kiryu raised Haruka as his own daughter, along with other children, at the Morning Glory Orphanage.

Haruka left the orphanage to become a singer and an idol, but she left her career after she revealed she was raised by a yakuza.

She became a mother shortly after that.
