Appearance
Haruka Kuran has the typical features of the Kurans and the unnatural beauty of the purebloods. He possessed dark brown hair and eyes. He shared similar looks with his older brother, Rido, and his son, Kaname. He appeared to be in his late twenties, for human age.

Relationships
It is revealed in 38th Night that Juri (his wife and sister) and Haruka have been together for almost 3000 years, ever since Juri was born. Haruka fell in love with Juri and pursued her dogmatically until she returned his affections. It appeared at the beginning that Juri was irritated by Haruka. Though they were in a loving relationship, she was not above sneaking out of his protection to pursue her goals.
