Masaya Matsukaze

Born in Fukushima Prefecture in 1976, Matsukaze works as a Japanese voice actor, on-screen actor, and radio personality. He debuted professionally in the late 1990s and moved between talent agencies Big Apple and Varoque Works before settling with his current agency, Aoni Production.

Matsukaze voices Ryo Hazuki, the protagonist of Sega's Shenmue video game series. This is one of his most recognized roles in gaming, alongside his continued work as a voice actor in Japan.

Matsukaze is best recognized outside anime for playing Shun Namiki, the hero MegaBlue, in the tokusatsu series Denji Sentai Megaranger. This on-screen role sits alongside his voice acting work in games and anime.

Matsukaze is listed among the Japanese voice cast for One Piece, the long-running anime produced by Toei Animation, though the specific character he plays has not been documented in available records.
