Harao serves as the quarterback for the Taiyou Sphinx. He tends to boss everyone around and shift blame onto others until Banba corrects his behavior. For some reason, he remains popular with women and maintains his own harem. He carries himself like a pharaoh; however, his quarterbacking skills are substantially inferior to Hiruma's. His heavy reliance on the Pyramid Line has rendered him slower and less capable of avoiding sacks. If he cannot locate a receiver, he simply stands still instead of attempting to run with the ball himself. He also has a habit of holding the ball too high when passing, which can result in fumbles upon being tackled.
Although he appears to be an arrogant snob, Harao is actually quite sensitive regarding his abilities as a quarterback. He is aware that others view him as a second-rate player; even his own teammates share this opinion. Much like Sakaruba, Harao is regarded as the team's ace by his fans, despite his skills failing to match that image. He admits to Banba that he has been trying to improve himself since the game against Deimon, yet he still harbors doubts. This is especially true because every Kantou Tournament the Sphinx participate in ends without a victory, as the opposing teams seem like monsters. Like Banba, this will be his third and final Kantou Tournament. Banba assured him that the new Tutankhamen's Mask formation would provide protection, meaning all he needed to do was throw the ball.
