Haru Kuroki is a Japanese actress who has gained recognition for her work in both live-action cinema and animated film voice-overs. Born on March 14, 1990, she began her career in the early 2010s and has since become a prominent figure in Japanese film and television. While she is highly celebrated for her live-action performances, Kuroki has also built a notable body of work as a voice actress in several critically acclaimed anime films.

Kuroki's entry into voice acting came relatively early in her career. In 2012, she voiced the role of Yuki, the young daughter in Mamoru Hosoda's award-winning film Wolf Children. Her portrayal of Yuki captures the character's journey from a boisterous child to a young woman coming to terms with her dual identity as a half-wolf, half-human. This role marked the beginning of a recurring collaboration with the director Mamoru Hosoda and his studio, Studio Chizu.

In 2015, she took on another voice role in a prequel film, providing the voice for Satomi Hagino-sensei in Shunji Iwai's The Case of Hana & Alice. This animated film serves as a prequel to Iwai's 2004 live-action film Hana & Alice, and Kuroki's character is the homeroom teacher for the two titular girls.

Kuroki continued her collaboration with director Mamoru Hosoda with a role in his 2015 film The Boy and the Beast, where she voiced a younger version of the character Ichirōhiko. She then took on a lead voice role in Hosoda's 2018 film Mirai, playing the titular character, Mirai-chan. In this fantasy adventure, she voices the teenage version of the main character's baby sister, who travels through time to help her brother navigate his jealousy.

Kuroki's work in animation is characterized by her collaborations with two of Japan's most celebrated directors, Mamoru Hosoda and Shunji Iwai. Her filmography includes voice roles exclusively in feature-length animated films rather than serialized television anime. While her career is predominantly defined by her extensive and award-winning live-action work, her contributions to anime cinema are a significant part of her diverse portfolio. Her voice acting roles are primarily in films that have received both critical and commercial success, further establishing her versatility as an actress.
