Luna Takamura or Runa Takamura (高村ルナ Takamura Runa) (September 18, 1952, in Kobe – March 6, 2004, in Honolulu) was a J-pop singer 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.
Takamura had been a member of Golden Half until the band's split in 1974. She released a solo album titled Tenshi no Asa (天使の朝) from Nippon Crown in 1975.
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.
