'''Hidetsugu Yoshioka''' (吉岡 英嗣 ''Yoshioka Hidetsugu'') is a Japanese illustrator. He has produced various pieces of ''Transformers'' artwork for [[TakaraTomy|Takara]] since the late '80s and has worked steadily for the line in all its incarnations ever since, continuing to produce mini-comics and other promotional artwork to this day. Outside of ''Transformers'', Yoshioka has also illustrated [[story page]]s and comics for Takara's incarnation of the ''Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles'' lines: ''Super Mutant Turtles'' and ''Metal Mutant Turtles''.

Yoshioka's style is heavily influenced by American comic book art. Beginning with ''[[Transformers: Generation 2 (franchise)|Generation 2]]'', Yoshioka adapted his style to mimic that of [[Derek Yaniger]], a style he continues to use that has since become his visual trademark. Further strengthening his bond with American comics, the majority of his pack-in comics, despite being released exclusively in Japan, read from left to right like a Western comic.
