Ookawara Kunio (大河原 邦男, December 26, 1947—) is a veteran mechanical designer in the anime industry. A mechanical designer is similar to a character designer, but the design is for robots, ships, and other mechanical items found in a particular show.
Ookawara was the first in the industry to be specifically credited as a mechanical designer. He designed mecha for the Gundam and Brave Series franchises, as well as those of numerous Super Robot and Real_Robot shows.
He was born and currently lives in Inagi, Tokyo, where he works out of a studio in his home.
