About
Tomu Ranju (born Mayu Sakamoto) was a Japanese singer and musical theatre actress who defined the Takarazuka Revue's Flower Troupe as its top otokoyaku—a performer of male roles—from 2011 to 2014. After leaving the revue, she pursued musicals and television roles until stepping back from public life in 2016. A Leo born in 1975, Ranju embodied the triple-threat performer archetype the storied all-female revue cultivates.

Biography
Tomu Ranju (stage name of Mayu Sakamoto) was a Japanese singer and musical theatre actress most recognised for her tenure as Takarazuka Revue Flower Troupe's otokoyaku—the revue's tradition of female performers specialising in male roles—from 2011 to 2014. She was regarded as one of the company's triple-threat performers of that era and recorded multiple songs for Takarazuka albums during and after her time with the troupe.
Following her graduation from the revue, Ranju transitioned to broader theatrical work, concentrating on musical theatre productions while maintaining a television presence in supporting roles and as a host. Actors like Ranju typically balance live performance, recording, and screen work across Japan's interconnected theatre and broadcast industries.
In 2016, Ranju married and withdrew from the entertainment industry. Born 12 August 1975 in Japan, she is a Leo—a sign historically aligned with performance and spotlight. Her career trajectory from revue institution to freelance musical theatre performer reflects a common path for Takarazuka alumni navigating post-graduation opportunities.
★ ORIGIN
Before Fame
Before joining the Takarazuka Revue, little public record exists about Ranju's early life or training. Her birth name was Mayu Sakamoto; she adopted the stage name Tomu Ranju upon entering the revue system, which recruits performers through audition and intensive training. The Takarazuka Revue itself served as her primary launch platform, a tradition-bound all-female theatre company where performers are groomed from entry into specialized roles.

Trivia
- Ranju's professional name, Tomu Ranju (蘭寿 とむ), reversed her birth name's order—a common practice in Japanese stage naming conventions.

- She recorded songs for Takarazuka's own album catalogue while still active with the troupe, marking her status as a signature voice of the Flower Troupe's era.
