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]

Manoda was appointed as a lead cameraman on 1970's Space Amoeba and 1971's Godzilla vs. Hedorah, working on the effects unit of the former and both units of the latter. 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, notably including nine episodes of Tsuburaya Productions' Return of Ultraman and the entirety of Toho's Flying Saucer War Bankid. His last known work was the 1980 TV movie Maneating Shark of Terror: The Shark Woman.

Manoda was the oldest of three brothers who worked at Toho, after optical photographer Yukio Manoda and optical photographer/compositor Yoshikazu Manoda.[2]
