'''Hisashi Yuki''' (幸 日佐志 ''Yuki Hisashi'') is a toy designer at [[TakaraTomy]] who joined the company in 1992, just before ''[[Transformers: Generation 2 (franchise)|Generation 2]]'' began. He cut his teeth on the ''Transformers''-adjacent ''[[Brave (franchise)|Brave]]'' series, including the ever-popular ''{{w|King of Braves GaoGaiGar|GaoGaiGar}}''.<ref name = "King303">Interview in ''[[Figure King]]'' No. 303 (April 2023 issue)</ref> His first ''Transformers'' work was being brought on as the design lead for the [[Transformers: Beast Wars (Japanese toyline)#1998 (Beast Wars II)|''Beast Wars II'']] and [[Transformers: Beast Wars (Japanese toyline)#1999 (Beast Wars Neo)|''Beast Wars Neo'']] sub-franchises, during which he was one of the only members of the Takara team developing ''Transformers'' for the [[Japan]]ese market. He is also generally responsible for toy "localization," ie the adapting of product originally designed for Hasbro markets for release in Japan.

[Yuki]: That is right. (*laughs) I was not assigned to be in charge of it initially, but due to the circumstance within the company I was unexpectedly handed down the project. The schedule came with it and I was stunned when I realised that I was only given 12 days, about 2 weeks...To make it worse, at the time of my receiving the task, even the product size wasn't decided.

==Fiction==
===Legends World===
The Yuki of the [[Legends World]] was among the Transformer toy designers present at the [[Transformers Celebration 2014]], where they handed out autographs. [[Rattrap (BW)|Rattrap]], who admired him for his work on [[Lio Convoy#Toys|Lio Convoy]] and [[Big Convoy]], was elated to get him to sign his toy. {{storylink|Legends Bonus Vol.}} At some point, Yuki was riding the train with [[Shogo Hasui]] and the two were taken aback by Rattrap's new robot body. {{storylink|Legends Comic: Bonus Edition Vol. 1|Bonus Edition Vol. 1}} Much later, Yuki was among the citizens eaten by [[Trypticon (G1)|Trypticon]] and used as a living battery. {{storylink|Legends Comic: Bonus Edition Vol. 43|Bonus Edition Vol. 43}} 

After the Legends World was destroyed, Yuki ended up in the [[G1 World]]'s [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] in [[2038]], where he witnessed [[Violengiguar]]'s attack. {{storylink|The Road to Legends' Revival Chapter 2}} After that threat was dealt with, Yuki watched on as the Autobots, [[Zamojin (species)|Zamojin]], and Legends refugees restored the universe. He was one of several people whose wishes were channeled through [[White Leo]]'s [[MVP Weapon]] to aid in the recreation. {{storylink|Transformers Legends Final Chapter "Epiloge"|Epiloge}}

==Trivia==
*Of all the toys Yuki has designed, [[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2001 toyline)|2001 ''Robots in Disguise'']] [[Optimus Prime (RID)|Optimus Prime]] holds a special place in his heart. He was responsible for coming up with the "shake hands" combination sequence between this Optimus Prime and [[Ultra Magnus (RID)|Ultra Magnus]], and even went to a series staff meeting to ask the director personally to ensure the scene would be featured in the [[Omega Prime]] combination sequence. 
*He designed [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#mp4|MP-4's]] trailer in one night<ref name="mp4trailer"/> and [[Megatron (G1)/toys#MasterpieceMegs|MP-5 Megatron]] in twelve days.<ref name="mpmegsdev"/> He ''really'' wants to do MP [[Ginrai (human)|Ginrai]].
*When he designed the ''[[Transformers: Universe (2008 toyline)|Universe]]'' [[Sunstreaker (G1)/toys|Sunstreaker]] and [[Sideswipe (G1)/toys|Sideswipe]] toys, he disagreed with Hasbro's concepts and instructions that both robots would be exactly the same, only differing in their heads. He came up with the simple (yet very effective) idea of turning the torso around to give the two Autobot brothers their distinctively different torso designs.
*Yuki was responsible for naming the [[Unicron Trilogy]] the "Micron Trilogy" in Japan.
