Terauchi has represented Japan in Six Olympic Games (1996 in Atlanta, 2000 in Sydney, 2004 in Athens, 2008 in Beijing, 2016 in Rio de Janeiro and 2021 in Tokyo). He reached into the finals for all of his respective events but the 2016 Olympics one, although he never captured a single Olympic medal. His best result was further achieved at the 2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney, when he placed fifth in the men's 10 m platform, with a cumulative score of 636.90 points.

Terauchi retired temporarily in 2009, and worked as an employee for sports manufacturing company Mizuno.[2] A year later, he resumed training to set sights for his fifth Olympics, and made his comeback by placing second at a domestic meet.[3] In 2012, Terauchi had received a qualifying berth at the FINA Diving World Cup, but Japan Swimming Federation decided not to send him to London for the Summer Olympics, despite that he was not able to perform well against the world's top divers.[4]

Terauchi is a graduate of clinical psychology at Koshien University in Takarazuka, Hyōgo.

Terauchi is currently the oldest diver in Olympic history, and the first diver to have appeared in six different Olympic Games.[5]
