Kojin Ono (Japanese: 大野 光仁, Hepburn: Ōno Kōjin, born May 11, 1959, Tokyo) is a toy designer employed by Takara since 1980.
[1] Ōno's early designs included the Diaclone Walk-In Centre and Microman Acro Saturn.
Hasbro amalgamated the Diaclone and Microman figures and, along with a story treatment developed by Marvel, created the toy cult phenomenon known as the Transformers.
Ōno designed most Transformers manufactured by Takara, including Metroplex, Fortress Maximus and Powermaster Optimus Prime.
