Koharu was born to Hiroko Seto, sometime after Saki Arima died.

Shigatsu wa Kimi no Uso[]

After Kousei Arima's first piano competition after two years, Koharu and Hiroko Seto go to Towa Hall, for a “nostalgic” reunion with Kousei. When her mother is concerned about Kousei (who hadn’t answered her recent phone calls), Koharu and Hiroko pay him a visit to check up on him, only to find that he had been asleep in his clothes from the day before. As he wakes up, Koharu exclaims, “Zombie? Zombie?!”. Hiroko forces Kousei to take a shower, attempting to take his clothes off for him, as Koharu covers her eyes in the process. Kousei offers her milk, but seeing as she hadn’t seen him for two years, she hid behind her mother’s legs in shyness.[4]
