Sô Haruyasu was the 15th head of the [[So clan|Sô clan]].
Originally born into a branch family with authority over Toyosaki district, he took the tonsure and lived as a monk for a time before returning to secular life and becoming head of the Toyosaki branch family.
He succeeded his nephew [[So Masamori|Sô Masamori]] to become head of the main line of the Sô clan in [[1539]], at age 65. In [[1546]], he forbade families and lineages other than the main house lineage from using the surname "Sô," strengthening the clan's authority.
He was succeeded by his son [[So Yoshishige (1532-1588)|Sô Yoshishige]].
