Haruma Miura- The Original First Crush
Born on April 5, 1990, Haruma Miura was raised in Tsuchiura, Ibaraki, Japan. The dashing actor made his debut as a child actor when he was just seven years old.
Likewise, his fame shot through the roof after his appearance in Koizora, also known as ‘The Sky of Love’ in 2007. Though many might disagree, Miura was the original first crush for many girls, especially international fans.
It would not be a lie to say that Haruma is immensely popular outside of Japan as he is in the domestic market. His tall yet handsome demeanor snatched the hearts of young female fans. And surely we can never forget his coy smile, gentle and warm.
After the massive success of ‘Koizora,’ Haruma appeared in numerous other movies and television series. Some of his notable performances can be seen in productions like Gokusen, Bloody Monday, Crows Zero II, Eternal Zero, Kimino Todoke, and many others.
Furthermore, Miura also starred as ‘Eren Jaeger,‘ lead character in the action-thriller movie, Attack on Titan(2015). The film was based on the world-wide popular shonen manga of the same name. For the movie, he tagged with model and actress, Kiko Mizuhara.
Moreover, Miura appeared in the Japanese adaptation of the Broadway musical “Kinky Boots,” where we saw him in a completely different light. Although we knew his acting credibility and potential, the new avatar of a ‘drag queen’ that he opted for the show inevitably snatched our wigs.

For his work in the musical, the late actor won the Haruko Sugimura Award in 2017.
Also, Haruma was on the process of releasing his second single “Night Driver” late this month. The original heartthrob announced the news on his Instagram during his 30th birthday on April 5, 2020. He also said how he composed and wrote lyrics for one of the B-side tracks.
Fans Unconditional Love for the Actor
As we said before, Haurma Miura is the first crush for many female fans, mostly from the movie Koizora. It was the movie where he played the role of protagonist Hiro, who has a bitter end. Most probably, it was this movie that introduced him to a broader audience, including international fans.
Upon hearing the news, some fans couldn’t help but compare his character from the movie itself.
