Actor Haruma Miura (Eren) Passes Away

Haruma Miura, who portrayed Eren in the 2015 Japanese SnK live action film, has passed away on July 18th, 2020 at the age of 30.

Haruma was a respected young actor with a prolific body of work, including lead roles such as Sakurai Hiroki in Koizora, Kazama Ren in Gokusen, and Kazehaya Shota in Kimi ni Todoke. He also portrayed the iconic Lola in the Japanese stage version of Kinky Boots.

During the promotional period for the SnK live action, Haruma was paired up with Kaji Yuuki, Eren’s seiyuu, for numerous interviews.

Update: Kaji Yuuki has shared two tweets on the unfortunate situation (Translation by @suniuz​):

It wasn’t a lot of time, but we did work together not long ago. He was a really straightforward person who was always considerate of people around him, someone who had a warm and kind heart. He was an outstanding actor. We promised each other to go to a restaurant together and have a nice chat. Haruma-kun You were such a wonderful person. Why has this happened? I’m so regretful.

I wanted to meet you earlier in my life. I wanted to talk more with you.

I always respected you.  

Tokyo Police have announced that the suspected cause of death was suicide.

Our condolences go out to Haruma’s loved ones in this difficult time.
