Shin Takuma is a Japanese actor whose career has primarily been in live-action film and television, rather than as a dedicated anime voice actor. He is best known for his work in Japanese dramas and movies across several decades.

Born on April 18, 1956 in Tamano, Okayama Prefecture, Japan, Takuma began his acting career in the late 1970s. His early work includes a role in the 1984 film Godzilla, where he played Hiroshi Okumura. He gained significant recognition in the early 1980s, particularly for his portrayal of Ishida Mitsunari in the 1981 NHK taiga drama Women of the Taiheiki.

While the query mentions the role of Toshio Asakura in the series Touch, this credit refers to the 2005 live-action film adaptation of the popular manga and anime series, not an animated television series. In this film, Takuma portrayed the father of the main characters.

His extensive filmography includes a wide range of roles across multiple genres. He has appeared in the popular comedy fantasy series The Brave Yoshihiko and its sequels, playing characters such as Danjo and Dungeon. He has also been a part of major franchise productions, including roles in the Ultraman series, appearing as Mitsukuni Shizuma in Ultraman Trigger: New Generation Tiga and its subsequent film episode. Other notable film appearances include the 2005 science fiction film Samurai Commando Mission 1549 and the 2017 comedy-drama Survival Family.

On television, Takuma has had a consistent presence in Japanese dramas. His credits include appearances in series such as Good Morning Call, the taiga drama What Will You Do, Ieyasu? in 2023, and the crime series Keibuho Daimajin in the same year. He has demonstrated versatility across historical pieces, contemporary dramas, and comedic roles throughout his career.
