Yūta Mochizuki (望月 祐多 Mochizuki Yūta) is a Japanese actor who played Yamato Tribe Prince Geki (TyrannoRanger) in Kyōryū Sentai Zyuranger. He previously played J1 of the Neo-Jetman in Choujin Sentai Jetman. He returned to voice TyrannoRanger in the short crossover movie, Super Sentai World, where he also voiced Black Condor of Jetman in the place of his original actor. He reprised his role as Geki once again in Zyuden Sentai Kyoryuger vs. Go-Busters: Dinosaur Great Battle! Farewell, Eternal Friends.
He also played Koji Segawa/Kamen Rider J of Kamen Rider J. This makes him, as of 2012, the second actor to have played a Sentai Ranger and protagonist Lead Kamen Rider, after Hiroshi Miyauchi, and the only actor to have played both a Sentai Red and a protagonist lead Kamen Rider. Another other Red actor who came close is Keiichi Wada who played a minor character who became the titular rider of Kamen Rider Ryuki. However, for him to have shared Yūta Mochizuki's distinction, he would have had to have played the main protagonist of the series (who was portrayed by Takamasa Suga). Hidenori Tokuyama also played a rider, but he was not the leading rider of his series.
Mochizuki is also a familiar face for any fan of Sailor Moon due to his portrayal of the second Tuxedo Mask of the Sailor Moon Musical.
Mochizuki is the also the first Super Sentai actor to attend Power Morphicon in America. He will also be appearing in bonus material for the American sub titled release of Zyuranger on DVD.
