Haruko Kanawa

Haruko Kanawa was born in Sendai, Japan. Her family wasn't particularly well of and struggled most of their lives, even Haruko had to work to support her family. In 2015 she joined Arasaka and became Okano's chief enforcer, a skilled and ruthless solo in the corporate ninja style. She is privy to Okano's plans of an Arasaka coup, and she is counting on being made chief of his security and corporate army when the plan succeeds. Haruko also attempts to negotiate with possible threats rather than fight. She has been confirmed to be under strict orders to not fight or do anything else that could endanger operations.

Kanawa is known for being a gorgeous woman, and wears a black leather body suit with a gunbelt. She's in excellent shape and uses her looks to her advantage. She also is known for having a F size breasts, which often distracts the weak minded. She is a cross between a leather fantasy and an SS nightmare.

Years after Haruko and Okano disbanded as partners and Haruko left later joining a covert operations team and became the leader. While originally not being so thrilled to become a leader, preferring to go solo, she warmed up and took the role of the leader of the team.

Firestorm
Haruko Kanawa became the leader of a special ops team consisting of seven other Japanese Solos and a Techie. After managing to avoid disgrace after the Clone debacle, Haruko being an excellent agent and loyal samurai, she has been reassigned as a covertops team leader.

She has been loyal and thorough in her duties, preferring to handle matters from a distance when possible, but is more than capable to lead her troops. Some members of her covert operations team are Utamuro Ono, Mitsuko Taida, and Ichigo Maruyama to name a few.

In 2022, she is stationed in the Arasaka Tower in Night City. During the Militech assault on the building, Kei Arasaka orders her to cut off Strike Team Beta in the sub-basement. She is subsequently killed in the ensuring firefight.
