Tomoyoshi Yamane (sometimes misspelled as Tomomi Yamane), born January 2, 1968, is a coordinator at Nintendo. He was originally a designer for Nintendo R&D1, working on the Metroid and Wario Land franchises. He designed the Varia Suit, Samus's iconic outfit in Metroid II: Return of Samus, as well as her CG design in Super Metroid, which led up to him supervising her 3D model in various Metroid games. He also redesigned most of the bosses in Super Metroid, making them significantly scarier.

In recent years, he has been involved as a coordinator on titles developed outside of Nintendo, like the Mario & Sonic franchise. Since Mario Tennis Aces, Yamane has been art director or supervisor for various Mario spin-offs.
