Early Life

At the age of 5, Haruka met Ginoza Nobuchika while visiting her father at the rehab centre due to his increased psycho pass. Hiroki was released from the rehab Centre and continued his career as an Inspector in Division 2. Though, Hiroki's psycho pass impacted Haruka, she remains calm with a clear hue and a steady psycho pass.
During high school, Haruka meets and befriends Shinya Kogami while Kogami saves Ginoza from being bullied by classmates. A close friendship quickly develops between the two due to Haruka appreciating Kogami helping her best friend, Ginoza. Throughout high school and into her work career, Haruka, Kogami and Ginoza remain close friends. Due to her high intelligence, Haruka graduated with Kogami and Ginoza, despite being 4 years younger than both men and was also able to join the MWPSB at the age of 18.

Relationships
Ginoza Nobuchika
Ginoza is Haruka's partner in Division 1 and her best friend since she was 5 years old. Within the office, both adults are known to keep a professional relationship-referring to each other's surnames- and are also known to socialise outside the workplace. Haruka is seen given Ginoza nicknames such as, 'Nobubu-chan' and 'Noka-kun' despite Ginoza's embarrassment towards his childhood nicknames.
Haruka respects Ginoza and often risks her own life to ensure his safety and happiness. Haruka helped Ginoza through his father's rehabilitation due to a cloudy psycho pass. Following Kogami's demotion to Enforcer, Ginoza and Haruka's relationship crumbles slightly due to Ginoza's hatred towards enforcers. However, despite this setback in their friendship, both individuals remain close. As years went by, Haruka develops feelings for Ginoza yet does not reveal this to him.
Shinya Kogami
Shinya is Haruka's close friend. It is also implied that both individuals had feelings for each other as teenagers but haven't let this come before their friendship. Haruka admires Kogami's determination as Inspector and is greatly upset when he is demoted to an Enforcer.
Akane Tsunemori
Haruka first meets Akane when Akane is assigned to Division 1 in 2112. Haruka's first initial impression of Tsunemori is that she 'values the Sybil System yet she has set her own moral compass and makes a great inspector due to her compassion for others'. Both woman has similarities such as their steady psycho pass (always remaining steady even under pressure) and intelligence (both individuals achieving an A ranking for 13 different ministries and agencies).
Maki views Tsunemori as a younger version of herself and wishes to protect her from the latent criminals they encounter. Both women often socialise and spend time outwith work and get to know each other better.
Tomomi Masaoka
Despite Ginoza's damaged relationship with his father, Haruka has a strong relationship with Masaoka- often refers to Haruka as 'daughter' or 'daughter-in-law' as he encourages his son to be with Haruka.
Maki often requests to partner up with Masaoka due to their ability to work efficiently together and her liking towards the old man.
Shusei Kagari
Though Kagari and Haruka are not often seen together, it is implied that both have a good relationship with each other as Kagari often refers to her as 'sis', 'cutie' and 'Ruka'. Haruka is also the inspector that helped recruit Kagari into Division 1.
Shion Karanomori
Shion and Haruka have a playful friendship with Shion occasionally suggesting they 'get it on' and Haruka kindly refusing. However, both woman appreciate each other and are often see together having 'girl time' Shion's lab.
Joji Saiga
Maki is Saiga's former student and not much is known about their friendship except that Haruka despises Saiga's ability to read her and often teases her on his profiling of her.
Mitsuru Sasayama
Though Haruka rarely mentions Sasayama (as she avoids the topic of Sasayama around Kogami) she was on good terms with the deceased enforcer, recalling some memories with him, such as a conversation between the two about Haruka and Ginoza's future children and Sasayama requesting she names on of their children after him. Haruka appreciated Sasayama's humour but disliked his womaniser attitude.
Joshu Kasei
Maki first meets Kasei when her father brings her along to the MWPSB to care for her when she was 11 years old. Upon meeting Maki, Kasei sees potential and wishes to learn more about her.
Haruka works loyally under Chief Kasei despite Maki's dislike towards the Sybil System and knowing the true nature of the Sybil System. Kasei revealed to Maki at the age of 15 when Haruka attempted to look through classified files in the MWPSB. Despite disliking the System, Haruka keeps the secret of the Sybil System and Chief Kasei's identity.
Throughout Maki's years of being an inspector, Kasei and Maki hold a strong but secretive friendship.
Trivia
On average, Maki sleeps 4 hours a day, occasionally sleeping in the car while working on a case or in the office waiting for a case.
She is a casual smoker. She smokes two cigarettes a day and has a high self-control against smoking. She started smoking due to Kogami's persuasion that she needs to 'live a little'
