R.I.P. He was a very charismatic actor.

RIP. I loved his guest role in Geed episode 12.

He was also just recently in Ultraman Blazar.

RIP Terada-san.

Man, I'm rewatching W right now, and I love that dude's energy. His character is sort of impossible to travel with as a viewer -- inscrutable but effervescent, largely detached from the day-to-day of villainy in favor of semi-retired menace. But the actor just gives it such presence and joy, which makes the entire villain side of W come together in ways that the story sort of leaves hanging. And that LAUGH. Seriously, you know a USB drug metaphor crime-lord is worth paying attention to when he's got a memorable laugh.

Anyway, RIP, the man had a career with some legendary work in it.

His yelling "EXTREEEEEMEEE" lives in my head.

Oh, god, yeah. Completely iconic. I never got the DX Xtreme Memory, but I sure hope it had that voice clip in as a sound.

RIP to a legend. Anyone here familiar with his work outside of W?

At a minimum, he is also the father of two riders from Gaim.
