Jun'ichi Haruta
Also Known As: Junichi Haruta, 春田 純一, 春田 三夫, Jyunichi Haruta
Biography: Junichi Haruta (春田 純一, Haruta Jun'ichi?), nascido Misao Haruta (春田 三夫, Haruta Misao?) (Kitakyushu, Fukuoka, 17 de março de 1955-) é um consagrado ator, dublê ecoreógrafo japonês, tendo participado de várias séries do gênero tokusatsu nos anos 80, 90 e 2000. Entrou para o JAC (atual JAE) com apenas 16 anos e começou sua carreira como dublê do primeiro Kamen Rider, em 1971. Posteriormente, vestiu a roupa de diversos vilões em diversas séries até conseguir um papel como ator em 1982, interpretando Kanpei Kuroda/Goggle Black em Goggle V. Reprisou o personagem de cor negra no Sentai do ano seguinte, Dynaman, e no ano seguinte novamente, atuando como o vilão MacGaren da série Jaspion (papel que lhe concedeu fama e prestígio, principalmente no Brasil). Fez participações especiais como ator em diversas outras séries do gênero. Além disso, é famoso por sempre interpretar seus personagens sob a armadura, atuando como ator e dublê quando o personagem assim exige (como no caso dos integrantes de cor preta dos Sentais e MacGaren). Atualmente, entrou no ramo dos doramas, atuando muito emnovelas e minisséries japonesas. Porém, ocasionalmente aparece alguns tokusatsus, como em Kamen Rider Blade, interpretando o vilão Yoshito Hirose. Em junho de 2001 foi entrevistado pela edição 14 da revista "Henshin", em que revelou histórias da época de Jaspion. Relatou, também, a dureza do trabalho do dublê de ação, que precisa vestir as roupas e armaduras apertadas e muitas vezes mal consegue respirar dentro delas.
