History

When Haruto was a child, he and his parents were involved in a car accident. He managed to survive the accident with no major injuries but his parents weren't as lucky as they died in the hospital. Sometime after that, he got mixed up in the Solar Eclipse Ritual. During the ritual, he didn't give into despair and thus didn't die and gave birth to a Phantom but it still exists inside of him. Haruto was about to be attacked by a Phantom before the Mage in White appeared and defeats it. He recognizes that Haruto has the qualification to be a mage and gives him the Wizardriver and the Flame Style Ring. The Mage in White also leaves a girl named Koyomi who is also a survivor of the ritual to his care. Haruto and Koyomi eventually find Wajima Shigeru, an owner of an antique store and has the ability to create Magic Rings for Haruto to fight Phantoms.

Six months later, he encounters a squad of cops led by Detective Daimon Rinko who were trying to stop a group of Ghuls from attacking a bunch of factory workers. After dispatching the Ghuls but he could search for the Phantom Minotauros, he was detained by Daimon Rinko. Escaping from jail after finding out that Rinko's partner was the Phantom, he fights Minotauros and defeats him but the process of becoming a Phantom was started on Rinko. Haruto enters her Underworld and defeats the Phantom Jabberwocky which makes Rinko no longer a Gate. Until Phantom Phoenix appear, Haruto was able to defeat Phantoms with little trouble. When attempting to transform into Flame Dragon Style, Haruto was pulled into his Underworld by Dragon which he warns him that using the power would bring him closer to despair. Haruto counter that Dragon is his hope which Dragon found amusing and allowed him to achieve Flame Dragon Style to defeat Phoenix.

When Haruto was fighting Phantom Beelzebub, he was defeated by his own Flame Dragon Special finisher. The Mage in White show up and teleported Haruto away so he could create a magic device that utilizes the full power of Dragon. Haruto went through a trial where he bombarded by Dragon's attacks and resulted in the creation of the Drago Timer. With the power of the Drago Timer, Haruto was able to defeat Beelzebub using the three Dragon clones.

Personality

Haruto seems to be rather easygoing but when someone is about to become a Phantom, he becomes deadly serious. He loves donuts even far back to his childhood days. He would say "I'm your final hope." to Gates who are in or about to fall into despair. This trait comes from his dead parents who told him that he was their hope before they died.

Haruto's Underworld consists of him being at a hospital room holding his parents' hands together before they died.
