Masaki Suda

, better known as his stage name, is a Japanese actor who portrayed Philip/right side of Kamen Rider Double in Kamen Rider W, with his most recent reprisal of the role in Kamen Rider × Kamen Rider Fourze & OOO: Movie War Mega Max.
==Biography==
At the age of 14, Sugo applied to Amuse but was not accepted. At 15, he was a finalist of the 21th Junon Superboy Contest and signed with his current office Top Coat, adopting his current stage name. Within a year, he made the final auditions for Kamen Rider W, and was cast as Philip primarily due to his similarities to the character himself, such as innate knowledge and complete with mysteries. 
===Post Kamen Rider===
After the end of his tenure as Philip, Suda went on to star in several films and dramas, quickly expanding his popularity within the Japanese entertainment industry including winning several accolades for Best Actor. As a result, Suda would become unable to reprise the role in the character's future appearances. He had expressed a desire to reprise his role as Phillip in at least a voice capacity for Kamen Rider Heisei Generations Forever, but was incapable due to scheduling conflicts.https://headlines.yahoo.co.jp/hl?a=20181226-00000005-tospoweb-ent&fbclid=IwAR1a_64KQoTuPL1IwA5wmkuP63XPRwSOs6GQeM2MJpv-Wfw3THfMfmmWsAw
