This guy has forgotten more about toy robots than we will ever know.

Kōji Igarashi (五十嵐 浩司 Igarashi Kōji) is perhaps the most preeminent toy robot historian in Japan, or at least historian of TakaraTomy robots in particular. He was responsible for the seminal pre-Transformer text that is 1999's Takara SF Land Complete Works before just two years later penning 2001's Transformers Generations, still one of the most comprehensive Transformers reference texts to date that forms the bedrock of this wiki's Japanese Generation 1 toyline coverage. While he's drifted away from Transformers proper over the intervening decades, Igarashi is now the lead writer on reference texts for the revived 2016 incarnation of the pre-Transformer franchise Diaclone.

He is one of the writer/editors employed by TARKUS, the company responsible for the Generations book series spawned by his work.
