After she graduated from Yoyogi, she joined Stardust Promotion.

She had minor roles in Jingai-san no Yome, Rifle Is Beautiful, Argonavis from BanG Dream!, Interspecies Reviewers, and Yatogame-chan Kansatsu Nikki.{{Cite web |title=成海 瑠奈 |url=https://stardust-va.com/actor/runa-narumi/ |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211027183335/https://stardust-va.com/actor/runa-narumi/ |archive-date=2021-10-27 |access-date=2023-12-31 |website=Stardust}}
