I am a Japanese actress, voice-over artist, fight director & intimacy coordinator. My pronouns are she/her. 

Over the years, I’ve trained in a range of theatrical arts, honing my voice, my body and my understanding of the changing industry. Rather than feeling like a "Jack of all trades", I choose to think of myself as a bowl of delicious ramen noodles (bear with me, it will make sense in a sec!).

​

In an authentic bowl of ramen noodles, you will find many different flavours, colours and textures that can sometimes seem in contrast to one another. Yet, in the hands of a skilled ramen chef, those different elements all come together in perfect harmony, giving you a warm, happy and satisfied feeling! 

​

Whichever part of the industry I’m working in, whether stage, screen or behind the scenes, I will always be my authentic self and bring a ramen bowl full of artistry to my work! It’s my goal to leave all my clients and colleagues with that same happy, satisfied feeling.

​

When I am not in work mode, you’ll find me at home in Southend-on-Sea, exploring the local beach and parks with my partner JC and our feisty, curious daughter,

Iris-Mia.

"An impeccable performer"- The Stage 

"Haruka has fantastic instincts, attention to detail, and a sense of play that made our sessions both great fun and productive."

-Matt Wieteska, Head of Production at Six to Start

"Haruka's work was extraordinary, her command of Fight Direction and clear narrative of the production was evident and precise. A joy to work with.​"

-KennOldfield, Musical Theatre director

In rehearsals and on set Haruka was a joy to work with - professional but also willing to explore and improvise.

- Tom Cousins, Series Producer, BBC
