Takayuki Okada (May 8, 1973 - August 8, 2003), more widely known as Giant Ochiai, was a Japanese judo practitioner, professional wrestler and mixed martial artist.

As a student, Okada won the All Japan Industrial High School Judo League Champion four times.[1] Working a stiff style, Okada wrestled as Giant Ochiai for Riki Chōshū's World Japan promotion and Yoshiaki Fujiwara's Battlarts organizations. Okada also fought in legitimate MMA competitions for Pride Fighting Championships[2] and King of the Cage.[3]

After an August 2003 "training accident" while training with Kenzo Suzuki[4] at World Japan's dojo, Okada suffered an acute subdural hematoma and entered a coma from which he never recovered.[5][6] Okada died on August 8, 2003.[1] Okada's August 13 wake was attended by Masaaki Satake, Nobuhiko Takada, Kazushi Sakuraba and World Japan Management Director Katsuji Nagashima.

Okada's MMA record was 3-3-2 (Win-Loss-Draw).[7]
