Haruna (榛名, named after Mount Haruna) is the third of the four Kongou-class battleships in [i][[Kantai Collection]][/i].
Though Haruna and [[Kirishima (kancolle)|Kirishima]] were completed on the same day, Haruna is generally considered to have been the third ship of the class due to having been laid down one day earlier.
Character design by [[Konishi (koconatu)]], voiced by [[Touyama Nao]].
