Suit actor
Tokusatsu actors in costumes / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A suit actor (スーツアクター, sūtsu akutā) is a member of, usually, a Japanese tokusatsu production who works similar to a stunt performer. However, the suit actor does all of his or her stunts while in a full costume that normally obscures their identity (typically the transformed character) from the viewer, and the actor's voice is dubbed during after-recording process (アフレコ, afureko).[1] The word is typically used when discussing Japanese stunt performers and is rarely used in any other context.
