Haruko Mihashi

A 19-year-old student in the second year of the Furong Nursing Academy, Kijuro's nursing volunteer. To make a living, she works part-time as a waitress. When she started nursing, Kijuurou Takazawa was her first patient, which is why she has a special relationship with him. She doesn't want to let old people down because that's her professional ethos. The welfare of the elderly is very important to her and she is skeptical about the newly developed Z-001. She believes that he cannot give love to patients. Kijuurou was chosen as the test patient for the Z-001. When this was connected to the device, it transmitted a message to Haruko on her computer. He called for help. When Haruko rushed to him, Kijuurou was unconscious. It could not be separated from the cables as this was too dangerous. She wanted to tell the media about this inhumane treatment, but was stopped by Takashi Terada and Yoshihiko Hasegawa. In order to reach Kijuurou, she enlisted the help of a hacker who was in her nursing home. He reprogrammed the Z-001's computer voice to make it sound like Kijuurou's late wife, Haru. Kijuurou's memories of his beloved wife led to the Z-001 taking on the personality of Haru. The Z-001 then transformed and made his way to the beach with Kijuurou - because that was his dearest wish at the time. He devoured all the machines he saw on his way. He kept getting bigger and wreaking havoc. Both Haruko and her friends, as well as Takashi and Yoshihiko, attempted to stop the Z-001's rampage. When Haruko was still in middle school, she begged for a room of her own. She got this when her grandmother was admitted to a nursing home. Haruka was overjoyed, but a little later her grandmother died alone and abandoned in the home. This event may have sparked her concern for the elderly.
