Yoichi Manoda (真野田 陽一 Manoda Yōichi) is a retired Japanese cinematographer, special effects director, and television producer.
Manoda studied under Eiji Tsuburaya at the Tsuburaya Research Institute before transferring to Toho in 1953, where he served as Tsuburaya's third cameraman on a number of tokusatsu films through to the 1960s.[1] Upon former lead cameraman Sadamasa Arikawa's promotion to special effects director in 1966, Motoyoshi Tomioka took his place, and Manoda moved up to second camera.[1] During this period, Manoda was also assigned to direct the minor special effects sequences in 1969's Konto 55: The Great Outer Space Adventure.[1]
In 1971, Manoda was appointed as lead cameraman on Godzilla vs. Hedorah, which uniquely included both drama and effects duties. However, Manoda departed from camera work immediately thereafter and, like Arikawa, made a full transition to special effects director. All of his subsequent assignments consisted of television work for Tsuburaya Productions and Toho, notably including nine episodes of the former's Return of Ultraman and the entirety of the latter's Flying Saucer War Bankid. His last known work was the 1980 TV movie Maneating Shark of Terror: The Shark Woman.
