She thought about balancing the work with Morning Musume。 activities and was worried, but with her becoming 18 years old this year, we understood her strong resolve to devote herself with all her might and challenge herself.
This is not at all a smooth road, and she has decided that she is more than ready to graduate.
We hope to support her as much as possible after her graduation.

UP-FRONT PROMOTION
Representative Director Takeshi Nishiguchi

Statement from Kudo Haruka[17][20]
I, Haruka Kudo, after the autumn tour,
Will graduate from Morning Musume。 as well as from Hello! Project.

It has been 6 years since I became a member of Morning Musume。
It has been 8 years since I got into Hello! Project.
During this time, I've had a lot of experiences,
Thanks to a lot of people, I have grown up from being an audacious primary school student into who I am now.
Because I became a normal high school student for a while,
I began to wonder, "What do I want to do in the future now that my dream of Morning Musume。 came true?"

My answer came quite quickly,
Or I think I already had it.

I want to try the genre I found during my career, "acting".

I don't want to do things halfway,
So even by saying "I want to act" while also singing and dancing on stage as an idol,
I somehow thought it would be disrespectful to the members and the fans for wanting to do both things.

I told my feelings to the company and my parents,
I thought "I want to bet on what I want to do" a lot and decided to graduate.

During the remaining time, I want to create many memories with the members and all the fans,
I want to be able to say "See you again!" without any regrets in the end.

Please support me until the end!

TriviaEdit

  • According to an interview with Cool-up Girls magazine in April 2014, she applied for Hello Pro Egg herself.
  • She was known as the tomboy of Morning Musume, and would jokingly call herself a boy, and say that she was the "the little brother" character of Morning Musume.
  • Because all 10th generation members' birthdays are on the seventh day of a month or have a seven in the day, Kudo said that their lucky number is seven.
  • She is known for being a tsundere and having a husky voice.[57]
  • She believes she can't lose with her husky voice and sports skills.
  • Her Morning Musume audition number was 242.
  • She is the youngest member in the history of Morning Musume, being 11 years old when she joined. She broke Kago Ai's 11 year record of being the youngest to ever join Morning Musume. Adding to coincidence, 11 year record broken in 2011 by an 11 year and 11 months old girl.
  • She is the third Morning Musume member to be from Hello Pro Egg, the first being Linlin and the second being Fukumura Mizuki.
  • Her name is often pronounced "Kudou", with 'u' being an independent sound, rather than being used for a long 'o' sound.
  • When asked about what aspect of her makeup she is most particular about, she said not to apply too much.
  • She auditioned for the 9th generation, but failed.[3] This makes her the second member of Morning Musume who had to audition twice to join the group, the first one being Tanaka Reina and in total she is the 3rd one who failed to join and later became a member, the first one being Fujimoto Miki.
  • She was the second member to continue being the youngest member after another generation joined; Fukuda Asuka was the first, then Haga Akane joined and became the third.
  • When she was young, her parents gave her many old Morning Musume CDs, except "Ai no Tane", which her father treasures, who has been a fan of the group since it formed.
  • She said her biggest wish is to meet Oda Eiichiro, the creator of her favorite manga One Piece.
  • If she wasn't in Morning Musume, she said she wants to be a Disney show dancer and a Disney cast member.[58]
  • She is scared of haunted houses.[59][60]
  • She is the youngest idol to appear on the cover of the magazine Big Comic Spirits.
  • She is bad at cooking.[61]
  • She is a fan of the shounen manga One Piece,[58] and Silver Spoon.[62]
  • Until 2017, she had missed at least one performance of each Hello! Project winter concert since she joined Morning Musume.
  • She knows how to juggle.
  • She has appeared in at least one play every year since joining Hello! Project.
  • In August 2014, Tsunku commented on Kudo: "She has gotten taller and her voice more stable, she's standing out this year. She's always been photogenic and it's really showing now. In "TIKI BUN" too she shines in a different way, looking forward to see where she goes from now."[63]
  • She was sometimes teased at school for being an idol, and classmates sometimes brought her photobooks to class.
  • For her 15th birthday event goods, she cosplayed as Sonoda Umi from Love Live! School Idol Project and Ciel Phantomhive from Kuroshitsuji.[64]
  • During an interview with ZIP! in January 2015, Morning Musume '15 was asked who would take over Michishige Sayumi's position as the cutest member of the group and Kudo replied: "After Michishige-san graduated, I realized, 'Oh, it looks like I'm the cutest member now,'" and that she wants to keep that position a little longer. Sayashi Riho responded, "So you're saying out of the remaining nine, no one else is worth mentioning (for being cutest)," and Haruka said, "No, that's what I'm saying!".[65]
  • She always eats an apple after a performance.
  • She is the first 10th generation member to graduate.
  • If she could be reborn as someone else, she would become Okai Chisato. She has always admired Okai even though she is an extreme mood maker. She makes people smile, and Kudo finds it amazing how different she is on stage.[53]
  • She believes she is the Hello! Project member who receives the most high-pitched (female) cheers.[53]
  • If she did not become an idol, she would have liked to become an Olympic swimmer. If she still competed, she would have been the right age to go to the Tokyo 2020 Olympics Games.[53]
  • She says she is addicted to the Kingdom Hearts video game series. She started playing two or three years before 2017, when she bought a Nintendo DS, and has finished most of the DS and mobile app games.[53]
  • Kudo's father has been a fan of Morning Musume since 1997, and he bought a copy of "Ai no Tane" when they sold it by hand for their five-day campaign. When she told him they would be singing a remake, he wasn't amused.[66]
  • Kudo, Iikubo Haruna, and Ogata Haruna gave themselves the unit name "Triple A" (spelled トリプルエー or AAA) as an inside joke about their breast sizes.[67][68]
  • In Hello! Project DVD Magazine Vol.36 which was released in 2013, Kudo said that she loved Super Sentai heroes and wanted to appear as one. Mano Erina, who was Kamen Rider Nadeshiko in the Kamen Rider Fourze films, asked Kudo if she could do it in five years.[69][70][71] This came true in 2018, when Kudo was cast as Lupin Yellow in Kaitou Sentai Lupinranger VS Keisatsu Sentai Patranger.[72]
  • She has a photography hobby. Her favorite camera is the double-lens Canon EOS M2 that she bought in February 2016, and she has taken photos with it almost everyday since.[73]
  • When she graduated from Morning Musume, Ikuta Erina gifted her a set of orange chopsticks with "☆Haruka Kudo☆" and "10th" engraved on them.[74]
