- 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.[77]
- 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!".[78]
- 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.[66]
- She believes she is the Hello! Project member who receives the most high-pitched (female) cheers.[66]
- 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.[66]
- 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.[66]
- 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.[79]
- 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.[80][81]
- She has quite a few admirers. Most notably, Haga Akane, Sasaki Rikako, Inaba Manaka, Kasahara Momona, Fujii Rio, and Kawamura Ayano all admire her. Haga Akane is even a fan of the pairing IshiDuu between Kudo and Ishida Ayumi. Wada Ayaka also began admiring her after performing alongside her in LILIUM -Lilium Shoujo Junketsu Kageki-.
- 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.[82][83][84] This came true in 2018, when Kudo was cast as Lupin Yellow in Kaitou Sentai Lupinranger VS Keisatsu Sentai Patranger.[85]
- 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.[86]
- When she graduated from Morning Musume, Ikuta Erina gifted her a set of orange chopsticks with "☆Haruka Kudo☆" and "10th" engraved on them.[87]
- She shares the same surname with Juice=Juice member Kudo Yume.
