MORIMURA Yasumasa 森村 泰昌 (1951-) Osaka. Best known for self-portraits of himself dressed as various famous actresses in famous movie scenes. As Jodie Foster in Taxi, Vivien Leigh, Liza Minelli in Cabaret, Marilyn Monroe in the Seven-Year Itch (with fake, strapped-on breasts), etc.

He also has self portraits of himself in famous paintings such as the Mona Lisa. Beautiful yet funny. He has made female impersonation a fine art, like a kabuki onnagata actor playing female roles.

Graduated from Kyoto City University of Art. Gained recognition from the late 1980s. Based in Osaka.
