'''Kunihiko Yuyama''' ('''湯山邦彦''') (b. 1952) is an anime director who has been involved with many of the products of the [[Pokémon anime]]. He is also an illustrator for the {{Trading Card Game}}.
 
Yuyama is one of the founding members of [[OLM, Inc.|OLM]], the animation studio that produces the Pokémon anime. He began his career in the 1970s as an in-between artist on the original ''Space Battleship Yamato'' (aka ''Star Blazers'' in North America) and subsequently became an episode and series director on series for Tatsunoko Productions, Ashi Productions (now Production Reed), and Kaname Productions. Other than Pokémon, his most noteworthy work is likely the original ''Magical Princess Minky Momo'' series, on which he worked with the original Pokémon anime head writer [[Takeshi Shudō]].
