==Fiction==
===Legends World===
Yūya Ōnishi was among the Transformer toy designers present at the [[Transformers Celebration 2014]], where they handed out autographs. {{storylink|Legends Bonus Vol.}}

==Notes==
*Rather fittingly, Yūya Ōnishi was born in the year [[1984]], the same year the ''Transformers'' brand was first launched by [[Hasbro]].
*When designing ''Transformers'' toys, Ōnishi makes a point to check out the real life equivalent of the figure's alternate mode for accurate reference, even visiting a zoo if the figure calls for a beast-based alternate mode.
*Ōnishi was personally responsible for the drawer in [[Hot Rod (G1)/toys#War for Cybertron: Kingdom|''Kingdom'' Rodimus Prime's]] trailer, citing his commitment to accessory storage.
*According to his Hasbro counterpart [[Mark Maher]], Ōnishi originally came up in car design.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y8kPFTS6hEM&t=2957s ''Transformers'' panel] with [[Ben MacCrae]], [[Mark Maher]], [[Evan Brooks]], [[Takio Ejima]] and [[Thew Adams]] at [[Hasbro Pulse Con 2023]].</ref>
