Even during the Sword Art Online Beta, Koharu used her real life appearance for her avatar. She has straight, black hair and bright green eyes. Throughout Integral Factor's main campaign, Koharu wears a slightly upgraded version of her starting equipment, consisting of a dark magenta tunic with dark green features on the neck and wrists, a black mini-skirt, as well as a chest plate protecting her upper body. Her starter appearance also features a red belt accompanied by a red item pouch on her waist. Her canon choice of weapon type is a dagger.

Koharu features an upgraded armor in the first anniversary celebration pictures of Integral Factor. While the new outfit has not been incorporated into the main story yet, limited time events showcase Koharu in this new armor. Her first anniversary equipment features a similar color palette but is a lot more detailed with its patterns and design compared to the starter armor. It features a cut on the side of her mini-skirt, as well as cuts on both sides of her tunic showing Koharu's skin. In addition to the more detailed design, Koharu also wears black, thigh-high socks compared to her starter armor.

Personality
Koharu was initially afraid of fighting even when it was necessary, yet she overcame this fear after meeting the Protagonist.
