Haruchika

Haruchika is a Japanese given name used for people and fictional characters. In popular culture, the name is most prominently associated with the 2016 anime series Haruchika: Haruta to Chika wa Seishun Suru, commonly shortened to Haruchika. The series was produced by the animation studio P.A. Works and aired in 2016. It blends mystery and slice-of-life elements.

The story follows two high school students who belong to the school's Classics Club—Haruta and Chika—who investigate and solve various mysteries tied to their campus. Through careful observation, deduction, and collaboration, the pair uncover secrets and navigate friendships and the challenges of adolescence.

As a given name, Haruchika continues to be used in Japan for real and fictional individuals. The anime Haruchika remains the most widely known non-name usage, presented as a stand-alone original project rather than an adaptation.
