Personal life

Miura was born on June 8, 2005 in Tokyo, Japan. As of 2018, he is a junior high School student in Yokohama. His hobbies are watching anime and baseball matches.[1]

Career

Early years

Miura began skating in 2009. As the 2017 Japanese national novice champion, he was invited to skate in the gala at the 2017 NHK Trophy.

2019–2020 season

Miura made his Junior Grand Prix debut at Latvia and finished in seventh place. At the age of 14, he became the youngest Japanese skater to land a quadruple toe loop in international competition with the successful attempt in the free skate of the event.[2]

2020–2021 season

Miura won the silver medal in 2020–21 Japan Junior Championships. Four days after the junior national championships, he made his Grand Prix debut at 2020 NHK Trophy and placed sixth. He was seventh at the senior national championships.[2]

2021–2022 season

Miura was assigned to the Grand Prix at the 2021 NHK Trophy, where he finished eighth. He called the competition "a lot of fun" and without pressure.[3]

At the 2021–22 Japan Championships in December, Miura finished in fourth place in the senior event after winning gold in the junior event the previous month. He was named as an alternate for the Japanese Olympic team and sent to make his ISU championship debut at the 2022 Four Continents Championships and the 2022 World Junior Championships.[4] Miura won the bronze medal at Four Continents, his first ISU championship medal, saying "I think I was able to show the world what kind of a skater I am. Of course there were some mistakes I made, but even with the mistakes, I was able to put on a good performance and round it off as I did today, so I'm very happy."[5]

On March 1, Miura was assigned to replace Yuzuru Hanyu at the 2022 World Championships.[6] He was subsequently himself forced to withdraw due to a left quadriceps injury, and was replaced by Kazuki Tomono.[7] At the time of his withdrawal, Miura indicated that he hoped to recover in time to compete at the World Junior Championships scheduled for a few weeks later in mid-April. Multiple jump errors in the short program lead to his placing twentieth in that segment with a score of 60.03.[8] He rose to thirteenth overall after the free skate.[2]
