Hideo Kodama (born 1944) is a Japanese automobile designer. 

Kodama made history – as a designer at Opel, he was also responsible for the second and third generations of the Corsa, which had sales in the millions.

He designed the smart two-seat Tigra and helped tailor the look of the legendary Opel Manta. Although now retired, he hasn’t slowed down at all. At home in Mainz, he’s still drawing and sketching in his studio, spurred on by his interest in design and shapes. He likes the city and when he retired, he didn’t hesitate to stayin Germany instead of returning to his homeland.
