1997–2006: Early acting career

Miura made his acting debut in the television drama Agri when he was 7 years old.[3] He was enrolled at the Tsukuba branch of Actors Studio and was concurrently a member of the dance team Brash Brats with two other students. Following the closure of Actors Studio, the three signed to Amuse, Inc. As Brash Brats went on indefinite hiatus in 2005, Miura continued his acting career. Early notable television projects that he appeared in include Ima, Ai ni Ikimasu, Unfair, Children, and 14-sai no Haha.[4][5] His first starring role was Taiyō Sasaki in the 2006 film Catch a Wave.[4][5]

2007–2009: Rise to popularity

In 2007, Miura starred in the film Koizora as Hiro,[6] and he also appeared in the film Negative Happy Chainsaw Edge.[7] Following the release of Koizora, Miura won Newcomer of the Year for his role in the film at the 31st Japan Academy Film Prize.[8] In 2008, he was cast as Ryo Shiraishi in Binbō Danshi,[9] Ren Kazama in the third season of Gokusen,[10] and Fujimaru Takagi in the live-action television drama adaptation of Bloody Monday,[11] as well as a guest appearance in a special episode of Galileo as a younger version of the main character, Manabu Yukawa.[12] In addition, he appeared in the music video for "Umaku Ienai" by Yuzu.[13] Miura later starred in the film Naoko and won the Sponichi Grand Prix Newcomer Award at the 63rd Mainichi Film Awards for his performance.[14][15] In October 2008, he released his second photobook, Letters.[16] By the end of 2008, Miura's rise in popularity led him ranking #3 on Oricon's annual list of "18-year-olds expected to be successful" in 2008.[17] He also ranked #1 in a list of "actors of interest" in a survey published by the magazine Ori-Star.[18]

In February 2009, Miura was one of 7 recipients who won Newcomer of the Year at the 2009 Elan d'or Awards.[19] In April 2009, Miura appeared in the film Crows Zero 2 as Tatsuya Bitō.[20][21] In March 2009, he reprised his role in Gokusen: The Movie, which was later released in July 2009.[22][23] From June 20, 2009 to July 26, 2009, Miura starred in his first stage production, Hoshi no Daichi ni Furu Namida.[24][25] On September 2, 2009, it was announced that Miura would play the lead role in the NTV drama Samurai High School.[26]

2010–2015: Continuous jobs

Miura did a documentary in New York City with fellow Amuse artiste Takeru Satoh, which was released 2010 as a DVD. In 2011, they released a DVD[27] of their eco-holiday in Sabah, Malaysia.

The actor was in the 2010 live-action adaptation of shōjo manga Kimi Ni Todoke, as well as in Shinji Aoyama's 2011 film Tokyo Park.[28]

Since 2011, Miura has also been cast in various leading roles for several television drama series such as Last Cinderella and Boku no Ita Jikan.[29][30]

For his role in the 2013 WWII film The Eternal Zero, Miura was nominated for an award by the Japanese Academy.[4] He was also cast as the lead in the 2-part live-action adaptation films of manga series Attack On Titan; both films were released in 2015.[30]

2016–2020: Kinky Boots, music debut, and final projects

Apart from his screen acting work, Miura was also involved in the Japanese adaptation of Broadway musical Kinky Boots in 2016,[3] for which he won the Haruko Sugimura Award in 2017 for his role as a drag queen.[31]

On Miura's 30th birthday on April 5, 2020, he revealed on an Instagram live-stream that he was releasing "Night Diver" as his second single in early Q3 2020, which contained three songs from different genres including a dance song and a love song.[32] He also stated that he composed and wrote the lyrics for "You & I", one of the B-side tracks.[32] Miura was set to debut "Night Diver" on Music Station on July 24, 2020.[33]

Personal life

Miura graduated from Horikoshi High School in Nakano, Tokyo on February 19, 2009. From 2016 until November 2017, Miura dated choreographer Koharu Sugawara.[34][35]

Death

On July 18, 2020, at 1:00 PM (JST), Miura was found unresponsive after hanging himself in his closet at his home in Minato, Tokyo.[2][14][36] His body was discovered by his manager, who had checked up on him after he did not arrive to work as scheduled.[2] He was rushed to the hospital and was pronounced dead. Police believe Miura committed suicide and an apparent suicide note was found in his room.[37][38][39]
