[edit] Bio
Born in June 29, 1976 in Tokyo, Japan, Haruka Igawa began her acting career in 1999. Her popular appearances in commercials and gravure magazines helped create the “therapeutic” actresses boom in Japan, a social craze for entertainers known for their soft, delicate features and soothing presence. In 2001 she won the Graph Prize at the Golden Arrow Awards sponsored by the Japan Magazine Publishers Association. Igawa made her screen debut in 2001’s FILAMENT by Jinsei Tsuji, and her temperate and characteristically fresh onscreen presence garnered wide acclaim. Igawa’s performance in her stage debut, HAKANA, brought the actress another Golden Arrow award, this time for Best Newcomer. Since then Igawa has appeared in popular films such as DOG STAR by Takahisa Zeze, TOKYO.SORA by Hiroshi Ishikawa, 69 by Lee Sang-il, DEATH WATER by Kiyoshi Yamamoto, and many others. In 2006 Igawa further established herself as a rising talent when she won the Best Supporting Actress Award at the 20th Takasaki Film Festival and Japan Movie Critics Award for her role in JYUKAI: THE SEA OF TREES BEHIND MT. FUJI directed by Tomoyuki Takimoto.
