Biography

Haruna Takase, born on January 3, 1954, in Yokohama, Kanagawa Prefecture, is a Japanese actress. She is known for her roles in films and television dramas.

Takase began her acting career while studying at Waseda University. Notably, she participated in theater and self-produced films directed by Yoshiyuki Fukuda, such as "I Broke My Arm" (僕は腕を折った, 1975). Her debut came in 1977 with the TV drama series "Ichiban Hoshi," but she had to withdraw from her leading role due to health issues. She also faced other setbacks, including being cast for the role of Garasha in the film "Makai Tensho" (魔界転生, 1981) and dropping out due to illness.

However, Takase continued to build her career with notable roles, such as portraying a young wife indulging in a lesbian relationship in the film "Manji", depicting the tragic double suicide of Dazai Osamu and Tomie Yamazaki in the Nikkatsu Roman Porno film "Musashino Shinju" (武蔵野心中, 1983), and starring alongside Tsutomu Yamazaki in Juzo Itami's directorial debut, "The Funeral" (お葬式, 1984). She gained recognition for her captivating performances and became known as the "Queen of Erotic Scenes," showcasing her voluptuous physique and seductive acting style.

Takase was selected as the calendar girl for Scotch Whisky "Cutty Sark," a popular prize featuring actresses in nude calendars. She appeared in various films, including "Ageman" (あげまん, 1990) and "A Patient" (大病人, 1993), as well as in historical drama series, two-hour dramas, theater productions, and talk shows.

After marrying a salaryman, Takase dedicated herself to being a full-time housewife.
