Masaki Terasoma (てらそま まさき or 寺杣 昌紀) is a Japanese actor and voice actor. He is affiliated with Mausu Promotion.

Biography

After graduating from Toho Gakuen College of Drama and Music, Terasoma joined Haiyuza Theatre Company. In 1984, he made his film debut in W's Tragedy. After that, he became a regular in films directed by Shinichiro Sawai, who took the megaphone for W's Tragedy, and Hiromichi Horikawa, whom he has known since high school, and is still active as a supporting actor in various dramas. Currently, Terasoma is also active as a voice actor. His debut as the voice of Shadow Moon in 1987's Kamen Rider Black drew attention, but after that he did not have many voice acting roles except in tokusatsu dramas produced by Toei. It was not until 1999, when he left Haiyuza, that he began to do voice acting in earnest. He mainly dubbed Western movies, but has also appeared in anime and narration. After working for Haiyuza Theatre Company and Office PSC, Terasoma has been affiliated with Mausu Promotion since 2003. The reason why he changed his stage name was because, "it would be better if it was easier to read" (since the character 'soma' (杣) was difficult to read). However, besides the voice-only appearances, he still uses the kanji spelling of his name.
