Harupaka Studio by Haruka

I live in Quebec, simply because I happened to fall in love with someone from here.

Moving to Canada meant starting from zero. The education, career, and friendships I had built in Japan no longer worked in my favor. If I had stayed in Japan, I believe I would have continued as an employee, spending my life supporting someone else’s dream.
But in the loneliness and uncertainty of starting over in Canada, I decided to fully embrace a life I probably never would have chosen back in Japan.
That decision is where the story of Harupaka Studio began.

I decided to pursue a small dream I had as an elementary school student, creating my own characters and turning them into products. From that moment, this journey slowly started to take shape.

Today, I juggle many roles, being a mom, a Japanese teacher, creating Japanese lesson videos on my other channel, and producing original items for Harupaka Studio. I’m not fast, but I’m growing steadily, one step at a time.
