Haruka Shokita

Haruka Shokita (諸喜田 遥 Shokita Haruka) is the 25 year old aunt and caretaker of Kokoro Oroku.

Personality
According to Kokoro Oroku, Haruka gives her kicks and punches instead of an allowance but this may be due to Kokoro's attitude. She also seems to worry about money and her appearance.

End of Summer Arc
When Kokoro Oroku comes back from her walk, she tells her a girl named Shino Shiratsuki called. During the call, she gets embarrassed because Kokoro tells Shino that her aunt can't decide on what to wear and that the cameras won't be on her anyway. After the call is over, Haruka says that it was a long call and that she should've waited for Shino to call her back.

She is later seen taking Kokoro to see Wakana Yonamine.
