Haruka Kudo

I've got a real soft spot for the idol-who-becomes-an-actor arc, and Haruka Kudo is exactly that story. She put in her years singing and dancing in a major group, then walked away from all that glitter to start over and actually act, which to me takes way more guts than people give it credit for. Anyone who writes her off as "just an idol grad" is missing it. I don't see her chasing flashy moments so much as steadily growing into a sturdier, more interesting performer. Honestly, she's the kind of person I just find myself rooting for.
