(September 18, 1952, in Kobe – March 6, 2004, in Honolulu) was a J-pop singer, actress and dancer of Japanese and German descent. Later in her career, she became particularly known for her two Nikkatsu Roman Porno films released in 1976.

Music career Takamura had been a member of Golden Half until the band's split in 1974. Like the rest of the members, she was hāfu, being of mixed Japanese and German descent. However, she preferred to be labeled as an ainoko, stating, "Hāfu feels halfway, half done. I don’t like that.”

She released a solo album titled Tenshi no Asa (天使の朝) from Nippon Crown in 1975.

Film career In 1976, Takamura played the title role in Masaru Konuma's nunsploitation film Cloistered Nun: Runa's Confession. She followed this film with Kōyū Ohara's Runa's Confession: "Men Crawling All Over Me" a semi-autobiographical, erotic retelling of her pop music career.
