Takashi Kunihiro (國弘高史) is a veteran designer in TakaraTomy's Transformers product team. He joined Takara in 1984 and joined the Transformers staff during the period when they were designing the toys introduced in the 1986 animated movie and Season 3 of the television series.

- Fellow TakaraTomy designers Shogo Hasui and Hisashi Yuki jokingly commented on Kunihiro's difficulties in designing the Revenge of the Fallen Leader class Optimus Prime and Jetfire toys. Yuki revealed that Kunihiro had problems reserving space for the electronics whilst maintaining on-screen accuracy, while Hasui joked that Kunihiro was "looking paralyzed" when he saw he had to make the two toys combine as well.[1]
