Haruka Tenou was the civilian identity of Sailor Uranus. She appeared in most versions of the Sailor Moon series.
Personality[edit]
Haruka was a fast runner, a talented pianist, and an accomplished race car and motorcycle driver. She was one of the few characters to be seen operating a car, along with Mamoru Chiba.
She lived the life of the wealthy Tokyo elite and, in the S season of the anime, attended Mugen Academy, a school for genius students. At the time, however, she attended it to infiltrate its operations. She wore the men's uniform of the academy rather than the women's, and was thus often mistaken for a man.
Family[edit]
Haruka had no known relatives in either the manga or anime series, and seemed to only live with Michiru. In the manga, she moved in with Michiru and Setsuna Meiou to raise baby Hotaru after she was reborn at the end of the Infinity arc, and the four of them formed an adopted family. They also moved in together in the Stars season of the anime.
Relationships[edit]
Haruka was romantically linked with Michiru Kaiou. Although the anime was not graphic, there were several hints given, especially during the Stars season, that Haruka and Michiru had a physical relationship. In the original English dub, however, Amara (Haruka) and Michelle (Michiru) were changed to be cousins in order to avoid controversy surrounding homosexuality. Haruka and Michiru's relationship remained intact in the Viz Media dub.
Musicals[edit]
In the musicals, Haruka was played by Sanae Kimura, Nao Takagi, Asako Uchida, Akiko Nakayama, Syu Shiotsuki, and Shinjyu Terada.
Haruka's personality in the musicals was much the same as in the other versions of the series, though at least in Kessen / Transylvania no Mori (Kaiteiban) - Saikyou no Kataki Dark Cain no Nazo, she was ranked with the likes of Usagi, Makoto, and Minako in academics.
Trivia[edit]

- In the anime, despite her gender, Haruka always referred to herself with the pronoun "boku" (僕), which is usually only used by males. This, as well as her androgynous looks and penchant for wearing men's clothing, may explain why many characters thought she was a man when they met her for the first time.
- In the Infinity arc of the manga and the third season of Crystal, Haruka mainly wore the male Mugen Academy uniform, though in the short story "Beware of Tanabata," she was shown wearing the female uniform.

- According to the Materials Collection, Haruka's character was influenced by the Takarazuka Revue.
- According to the Original Picture Collection Volume III, Haruka's car was a Ferrari 512M because that was Naoko Takeuchi's favorite car.

- In the first English dub, Amara gave Serena the nickname "Moon Face." In the French dub the nickname was "Face de Lune," in the Catalan version "Cara de Lluna," and in the German version "Mondgesicht," all of which mean "Moon Face" as well.
- In the French adaptation, Haruka was named Frédérique, and it is a common misconception that she was intended to be a boy. However, Frédérique was simply mistaken to be male and later revealed to be female, although she and Mylene (Michiru) were "best friends," rather than girlfriends. Frédérique was given a male voice when in civilian form, and a female voice when shown as Sailor Uranus.
- In the Latin American Spanish dub, Haruka kept her name, but her voice actress, Belinda Martínez, changed her tone of voice according to Haruka's current form. When playing her civilian self, Martínez gave Haruka a very deep voice that could easily be mistaken for a male one, and as Sailor Uranus she used a much lighter and more feminine tone. At the end of episode 92, Haruka used her "Sailor Uranus" voice to tell Usagi and her friends that she was a girl and not a boy.
