He was 81. Born in 1942 to the painter Terada Masaaki, he studied at the Bungakuza theater troupe before debuting in film in 1965. For film fans, he is probably most famous for starring in Okamoto Kihachi's anti-war ATG film Human Bullet, for which he won the Mainichi Concours best actor award. He also appeared in several films by Somai Shinji as well as Miyazaki Hayao's Castle in the Sky. When I saw him last summer at Yamane Sadao's memorial party, he was still full of energy. Quite a unique actor.
