Haru Yoshioka

Yoshioka Yoshioka Haru Yoshioka is the main character of "The Cat Returns". She is a high-school student who saved a cat (who turned out to be the Cat King's only son Prince Lune) from getting hit by a truck, and got shocked when he talked (she had forgotten she talked to a kitten when she was a little girl, though the kitten only meowed, but Haru had understood her). She didn't want any repayment (in fact, it has been that way since early childhood, as revealed when she told the stray kitten she didn't need to do anything for her), but the King Cat Kingintended for her to marry Prince Lune as repayment (though it was later revealed after he chose Yuki, the same cat whom Haru had fed fish crackers to when they were little, as his bride, the king wanted to marry Haru himself), but she didn't want to marry a cat at all. In the English dub, she is voiced by Anne Hathaway (with Katia Coe doing her voice as a little girl). Haru's animal friends are Baron, Yuki, Prince Lune, Toto and Muta.
