Teppei Teranishi (born September 13, 1980) is the lead guitarist and keyboardist of the post-hardcore band Thrice from Orange County, California. He is of Japanese-American descent. After graduating from Irvine High School, where band member Dustin Kensrue also graduated, he briefly attended Orange Coast College then left without graduating, to be a part of Thrice full time. In addition to guitar and keyboard duties, he also provides backing vocals for Thrice's live performances. He favors Gibson Les Paul guitars and Fender Telecasters among others. He is also in a side project called Black Unicorn with his friend Chris Jones. At a young age, he began to learn classical guitar and was influenced by heavy metal bands Pantera and Megadeth.[1] Eventually, he moved onto the punk scene. Teranishi is a Beatles fanatic, and a fan of classic '50s, '60s, and early '70s acts.
