Haruma Miura (三浦 春馬, Miura Haruma?, born on April 5, 1990 in Ibaraki Prefecture) is an actor and singer in Japan. He is part of the Amuse agency, and debuted as one of the members of Brash Brats, a J-pop group. However, they are currently on hiatus, while Haruma is still active as an actor. He gained popularity with Gokusen 3 and 2007 film Koizora. He starred for the first time with a leading role in drama based on manga, Bloody Monday.
Miura made his debut in NHK drama Agri, when he was only seven. He was enrolled at Tsukuba Actor's Studio and whilst he was still acting, formed Brash Brats with two other students. When Tsukuba Actor's Studio closed down, Miura and his fellow bandmates joined Amuse agency.
Miura soon gained recognition following several dramas such as Fight. During this time, Brash Brats went on hiatus, while Miura continued his acting career.
His popularity soared after starring in Koizora, released in 2007, based on a popular cell phone novel. He had to dye his hair blonde for the role of Hiro. Whilst his hair was still convincingly blonde, he was asked to participate in Negative Happy Chainsaw Edge. In 2008, he starred opposite Juri Ueno in Naoko and won the Sponichi Grand Prize New Talent Award for his role.
Miura then went to star in dramas such as Binbō Danshi and the third season of Gokusen as major supporting characters. His continuingly growing popularity during 2008 then led to him to become the leading character of Fujimaru Takagi in manga based drama Bloody Monday, where he plays a genius computer hacker trying to prevent the release of a biological virus from a terrorist organization. This autumn drama also co-starred fellow Amuse actor Takeru Sato[1], with whom Miura is good friends with.
During 2009, Miura starred in Crows Zero II, the sequel to Crows ZERO and was reunited with actor Shun Oguri whom he had previously worked with in Binbō Danshi. A movie of Gokusen is also due to be released in July, which will star Miura.
[edit] Personal life
Miura graduated from Horikoshi High School in Nakano, Tokyo on February 19, 2009.
