Miura, who is active in the musical theater world, received the prestigious Kikuta Kazuo Theater Award this May for his outstanding achievements in popular theater. He has been playing the role of Haku in the much-talked-about stage play 'Spirited Away' since 2022. This year, he also performed in the London production.

Inspired by Tetsuya Kumakawa, Miura began classical ballet at his own will at the age of five. He revealed that he won first place at a national ballet competition during his middle school years. Originally from Mie Prefecture, he moved to Tokyo alone at the age of 14 after being scouted. Though his parents supported his move, he later learned that they often cried out of loneliness.

Miura's parents travel from Mie for each of his performances and cook dishes related to the countries featured in his plays. Surprisingly, one of Miura's hobbies is ikebana (flower arranging), and he will showcase photos of his beautifully arranged flowers.
