<br />
'''Kōjin Ōno''' (大野 光仁 ''Ōno Kōjin'') is a [[TakaraTomy]] employee born on [[May 11]], [[1959]] in [[Tokyo]]. He worked for Takara for several decades prior to the merger with Tomy. Ōno was one of the main designers for the [[Microman]] and [[Diaclone]] toy lines, and designed many of the [[toy]]s that were later licensed to [[Hasbro]] and repurposed as the first ''[[The Transformers (toyline)|Transformers]]'' toys ever. His name is sometimes transliterated as "'''Koujin Ohno'''" or "'''Kohjin Ohno'''".<br />
<br />
Among Ōno's designs were the first "car to robot transforming toy", the toy that later became the [[Autobot]] [[Sunstreaker (G1)|Sunstreaker]], and the former largest ''Transformers'' toy ever, [[Fortress Maximus (G1)|Fortress Maximus]]. Later Ōno played a key role in the introduction of the ''[[Beast Wars: Transformers (toyline)|Beast Wars]]'' toy line to the Japanese market and designed toys for both the [[Movie (toyline)|2007 live-action movie line]] and its successor, ''[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (toyline)|Revenge of the Fallen]]''.<br />
