Tribute to Miura Haruma and His Most Iconic and High Profile Movie and Dorama Roles from Koizora to Bloody Monday to Gintama

In writing a blog there’s a desire to preserve a thought or the memory of a moment, so it’s only fitting that I write a post to remember J-actor Miura Haruma‘s most well known works from his very early breakouts all the way to his most recent projects. He was a child actor who started acting at 7 years old and got his first break as the male lead in the J-movie adaptation of popular cellphone novel Koizora opposite Aragaki Yui. The two were actual teens when they filmed it, the same age as the characters in high school, and reportedly dated for a few years in real life afterwards. He went on to popular franchises of Gokusen and Crows Zero, being tin more manga adaptations such as Kimi ni Todoke, Attack on Titan, and Gintama. He also did serious and darker fare like Taisetsu na Koto wa Subete Kimi ga Oshiete Kureta (You Taught Me All the Precious Things) and Never Let Me Go, and fun stuff like Last Cinderella and Confidence Man. I’m going to miss him so so much onscreen and hope that he’s like where his character Hiro in Koizora believes where he will be after passing on, in the sky looking down at the people he loves. May this beautiful young man be at peace.

  • Also Boku no ita jikan, one of my favorite J dramas.

    What an shocking loss. He seemed to have a very successful, stable career. RIP.

  • Still so heartbroken, its like a piece of memorable Japanese films/dramas died with him today. Such an uneasy day today.

  • In shock. He was one of the reasons I started watching J dramas. RIP sweet boy. What sad times we are living in right now.

  • I’m in complete shock. He was a talent and force I have followed since the beginning. My heart goes out to his family and friends. The world has lost an incredible light. May he Rest In Peace. He will be sorely missed.

  • It's okay to not be okay. Find someone you can talk. Someone you trust. If there's no one around, go find a professional. There's always the hotlines for the one who needs help. Miss Koala, would you mind to add hotlines everytime you write an article like this?

    He might has his own opinion why he has chosen this way. I pray for him. He'll be remembered.

  • His character in Bloody Monday remains the most memorable to me. ❤️ Thank you for all your great works Haruma! Hoping I won’t read any more news in the future about an actor/actress losing life to suicide. My heart can no longer take it. ?

  • When I was 13 years old, I first saw Koizora and completely fell for him. I've never seen an actor who as beautiful as him and his smile makes warm to my heart.
    I am feeling now that My teen cursh and all beautiful memories of years fangirling him are all gone. I'm gonna cherish every his works. This is the guy he took my heart before Korean actors did. He was the only Japenese name I knew extremely well.
    I wish he rest in peace and quiet. I'm sure he must have suffered a lot and he lived his life under a lot of pressure. Now, he finally escaped under this madness.
