Haruko Momoi (Japanese: 桃井はるこ Momoi Haruko, born December 14, 1977 in Tokyo, Japan) is a Japanese voice actress (seiyū) and singer/songwriter. She is affectionately referred to as 'Halko' by her fans, a nickname which she gave herself and which is inspired by HAL 9000, the onboard computer of the Discovery in 2001: A Space Odyssey.

Halko's blood type is O. She is 160cm tall and her hobbies include t-shirt collecting and the Internet.

Halko's debut single was 'Mail Me', a song for the movie Suicide Circle. In 2002, she combined with Masaya Koike to form the duo UNDER17 and together have performed songs for various video games and anime.

After their last album, Best Album 3 ~Soshite Densetsu he...~ UNDER17 has since separated and the two musicians went their separate ways.
