Tropes associated with Haruka Tomatsu include:
- Ms. Fanservice: Frequently voices these sorts of characters.
- Nice Girl: It's very rare for her to be playing a character who isn't nice.
- Pigeonholed Voice Actor: Ever since rising to fame as Asuna, she tends to get type cast as Action Girls, particularly being a swordswomen.
- Star-Making Role: Lala Deviluke, Asuna Yuuki, or Anaru Naruko.
- Tomboy: She is able to manage a Tomboyish Voice very well, to the point of her getting cast as the female version of popular shonen Gintoki Sakata.
- Tsundere: Around one-third of her roles are girls who are quick in getting angered.
- Woman of a Thousand Voices: While she has a default teenage girl tsundere voice she uses most frequently, she has a very versatile range, from very higher-pitched like Lala Satalin Deviluke to deeper more mature voices like Princess Piña Co Lada, or sometimes all at once like with Hotaru Furuya.
