Non-notable voice actor. Only found one news article announcing her role in World Trigger and it was for some supporting characters. She is also supposedly a singer but none of her works have been listed on her Oricon profile. Too soon to have a Wikipedia article. AngusWOOF ( bark  •  sniff ) 16:17, 18 August 2015 (UTC)

 * Comment ja.wp lists her as one of voice actors (multiple VAs because customizable differences, it appears) for the main playable character in God Eater 1, Burst and 2, and Samurai Warriors: Chronicles, and they also regard her roles in Deception IV: Blood Ties and Tokimeki Memorial 4 as major characters. That should pass WP:ENT if backed up by sources, but I am not !voting because I do not have access to sources.  野狼院ひさし  u/t/c 01:06, 19 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Thanks for your input. I've confirmed Deception IV and Tokimeki Memorial 4 from their websites. The God Eater ones I'm not sure since they have like 10 different voices for the main character. And Samurai Warriors is a massive ensemble cast which makes it difficult to figure out. Based on the Deception IV and Tokimeki Memorial 4, is that good enough to pass WP:ENT?

 * I've confirmed Samurai Warriors ensemble roles. Takenaka Hanbei looks like a major character for Samurai Warriors 3 at least by newly introduced characters (still 40 of them total, but she voices 2 of the newer ones). AngusWOOF ( bark  •  sniff ) 14:15, 19 August 2015 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Comment: Japan is better than the US about covering voice actors, but it's still possible for someone to voice some major characters without actually gaining a ton of coverage. The big thing we should be looking at are the roles: were they major characters in a notable game/film/show? If it's a show, how many episodes were they in? If these are major characters or characters with a lot of screen time, then that'd be something to show notability. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡)  05:58, 20 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Comment: Game Plaza Haruka's Voice actor database shows her in a bunch of media. Is that enough to show she is notable? AngusWOOF  ( bark  •  sniff ) 17:16, 21 August 2015 (UTC)

 * Borderline Keep Im seeing sources brought forward that indicate that the person just by a hair passes WP:ENT. More sources need to be added to the article though regarding her roles per WP:BLP, anything un-sourced should be removed (The ANN encyclopedia is NOT a WP:RS). - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 13:24, 3 September 2015 (UTC)
 * I went ahead and moved the un-sourced entries to the article's talk-page. - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 15:12, 3 September 2015 (UTC)
