Vincent "Vince" Masuka (Masuoka in the books) is a fictional character in the Showtime television series Dexter and the novels by Jeff Lindsay upon which the series is based. On television, he is portrayed by Korean American actor C. S. Lee.
The character Masuka is the Miami Metro Police lead forensic science investigator; he works alongside lead character Dexter Morgan in the lab and at crime scenes,[1] and is known for cracking tasteless and inappropriate jokes, invoking his Japanese heritage only when convenient, and harboring unrequited desire for Dexter's foster sister Debra. Dexter, a serial killer, is concerned that Masuka will uncover his secret.
