Terada has worked on about 50 games in the past 30 years. He became famous in the West in the early 2000s with the release of the movie Blood: The Last vampire for which he designed the main characters, his cover girls and his huge artbook "Rakugaking".
Paradoxically, nowadays , outside of Japan, his name is more often attached to the Zelda series, one of his earliest works -- from 1989 to 1995, he was a regular contributor to the North American magazine Nintendo Power for which he did many artworks, including illustrations for Link's Awakening and A Link to the Past. On a related note, some of his Link's Awakening artworks seem to be exclusive to the official German player's guide.

+ an untitled unreleased game for which he designed the characters
To be confirmed:
Lunatic Dawn / ルナテックドーン (illustration featured in Zenbu, probably a fanart)
Marvel Trading Card Game (DS, Windows, PSP - 2007) maybe the game reuses pre-existent illustrations
Optical Axis / オプティカル アクシス (line art dated 1992, not sure if it's a game)
I don't know if Terada has worked on the Tantei Jingūji Saburō series since the PS2 episodes, apart from the recent 3DS game for which he created the main illustration. Of course, since he designed the main characters of the series, he is probably credited in some if not all of these games.
