Toshiyuki Igarashi (五十嵐 俊幸 Igarashi Toshiyuki?, born January 17, 1984 in Yurihonjō, Akita) is a Japanese boxer and a former WBC, The Ring and Lineal Flyweight World Champion.
He competed for his native country at the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens, Greece, where he was stopped in the first round of the men's light flyweight division (– 48 kg) by Ethiopia's Endalkachew Kebede (21:26). Igarashi replaced Noman Karim (PAK) as a lucky loser, because the Pakistani fighter dropped "due to technical reasons". Igarashi amassed an amateur record of 77 wins (16 KOs) 18 losses, and graduated from the Tokyo University of Agriculture.
After turning professional in 2006, he made his professional debut with a third-round knockout on August 13 of that year. Fighting out of Teiken Boxing Gym in Tokyo under Yūichi Kasai's instruction, Igarashi gained the Japanese flyweight interim title via a split decision on August 2, 2008. Although Igarashi lost to the regular champion Tomonobu Shimizu four months later, he captured the vacated Japanese flyweight title by a third-round knockout on February 5, 2011. He defended it once, until June of the same year.
