 * In Episode 18 of the anime Saruyama needed a girlfriend to avoid being a souvenir for an alien (at the time he was opposed to the idea) and after being rejected (and beaten up) by all of the females of Sainan High he asks if Haruna would be his girlfriend but Rito interferes before she could answer him proposing to use a dog as the alternative.

Cute girls
Saruyama is a known pervert and likes all cute girls (that have big chests); this habit gets him and Rito into embarrassing situations that ends with them getting beaten up.

Her real name is unknown; she appears in episode 18 of the anime “Saruyama, the gift”. She was sent to kill Lala but could not do it due to being pregnant and collapsing from going into labor; after Saruyama helps to deliver the baby she falls for him. When Lala asks her what souvenir she would want to celebrate her baby’s birth she chooses Saruyama, he would also be the child’s father and represent the Earth. She later goes back home with her baby believing Saruyama was seeing another girl and wanted him to be happy but in reality Saruyama was not seeing another girl, filled with regret Saruyama cries after there departure.


 * Surprisingly the baby was not named in the episode.
