He won the 2007 Voice Actor Rookie Award for the male division. While he continues to do voice work, Morita has renewed his interest for live acting on stage in recent years and works together with [[Kentarō Itō]]'s theatrical group, K-Show. Aside from Ishikawa and Itō, Morita is also on friendly terms with Fumiko Orikasa and [[Fumihiko Tachiki]].

Masakazu Morita is a freelance Japanese actor and voice actor. Morita professes to be inexperienced with computers and high-tech gadgets, but he is gradually trying to learn them through his Twitter account. He has no formal education for his acting, but Morita has enjoyed super hero shows, video games, and shōnen comics since his childhood. He developed a serious interest to pursue an acting career after his experience with his middle school's marching band.

Morita's debut was the dual performance for Tidus, the main protagonist of Final Fantasy X, in which he did the motion capturing and Japanese voice acting for the character (while also providing motion capture in prior Final Fantasy games). He dabbled in small theater productions until Hideo Ishikawa recommended for him to pursue voice acting by joining Aoni Production, which propelled him into popularity in the anime and video game industry. He won the 2007 Voice Actor Rookie Award for the male division. While he continues to do voice work, Morita has renewed his interest for live acting on stage in recent years and works together with Kentarō Itō's theatrical group, K-Show. Aside from Ishikawa and Itō, Morita is also on friendly terms with Fumiko Orikasa and Fumihiko Tachiki.

A few of his voice roles include Ichigo Kurosaki in Bleach (via a proxy from his friendship with the mangaka, Tite Kubo), Barnaby Brooks Jr. in Tiger & Bunny, and both Tarble and Whis in the Dragon Ball series.
