He starred for the first time with a leading role in drama based on manga, Bloody Monday.

Career

Miura made his debut in NHK drama Agri, when he was seven. He was enrolled at Tsukuba Actor's Studio and whilst he was still acting, formed Brash Brats with two other students ( Majda rhaif... ) 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.

Miura then went to star in dramas such as Binbō Danshi and the third season of Gokusen as major supporting characters.

The autumn drama also co-starred fellow Amuse actor Takeru Sato.

In February 2009, he was one of the recipients of a newcomer award in the 2009 Elan d'or Awards.
