Karin Nanase, née Haruko, Nanase was a gravure idol who gained a niche after starring in a late night tv drama. She died under mysterious circumstances and became the basis of the Steel Lady Nanase rumors. She has a well-endowed figure and long purple hair, tied into two ponytails at the base of her head. Nanase also has massive breasts. Haruko Nanase was just a simple high schooler girl when she was spotted and scouted by a idol manager who decided to make her an idol due to her enormous breasts. She started doing mostly gravure shoots, but eventually got her big break with a tv show using both her likeness and song. After the untimely death of her father and the release of his notes accusing her of murder, Haruko was hounded by the media and forced to spend time away from the spotlight. During this time, she would stay hidden shifting from hotel to hotel. One rainy night, she went out to an abandoned construction site to smoke, consumed with guilt. When a pile of old steel beams became unstable and hurtled towards her, she let them crush her without resistance. She was a kind, soft-spoken person. She still cares even to that about her abusive father and still delivers him food after he and her mother divorce. She smokes when she gets depressed. She was also considered extremely intelligent as she passed a prestigious university entrance exam on the first try. (Source: Kyokou Suiri Wiki)
