Jun'ichi Haruta

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.

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).
