Masami Teraoka (born 1936 in Onomichi, Hiroshima-ken, Japan) is a Japanese-American artist based in Hawaii. Known for his fusion of traditional Japanese ukiyo-e aesthetics with contemporary Western themes, his work often addresses cultural clashes, sexuality, politics, and global issues. Teraoka earned a B.A. in Aesthetics from Kwansei Gakuin University in 1959, then moved to the U.S. to study at Otis College of Art and Design in Los Angeles, where he received both his B.F.A. (1964) and M.F.A. (1968). His art is featured in over 50 public collections worldwide, including MoMA in New York and Tate Modern in London. He is represented by Catharine Clark Gallery.
