Kōsei Ono (小野晃征? Ono Kōsei) (born 17 April 1987 in Nagoya, Japan) is a Japanese rugby union player who plays at fly half for the Japan national rugby team.
Ono moved to New Zealand aged 3, and went to Christchurch Boys' High School, the school that famously has produced 46 All Blacks in total including the likes of Andrew Mehrtens and Dan Carter. Ono played alongside future All Blacks Owen Franks and Colin Slade as part of the 2004 squad that went unbeaten.
He moved back to Japan to play for the Fukuoka Sanix Blues and made his debut against Korea just 5 days after his 20th birthday as the joint 12th youngest player of all time to represent Japan in April 2007. He won four more caps that year including one at the 2007 Rugby World Cup against Australia. But then after the tournament Ono was not selected by coach John Kirwan who preferred James Arlidge and Shaun Webb at fly half.
