Hirotoki Onozawa (小野澤宏時) (born March 29, 1978 in Shimada, Shizuoka, Japan) plays rugby union at wing (and sometimes full back) for Suntory Sungoliath in the Top League. He also plays on the wing for the Japan national rugby union team, and is known for his speed and elusive running, which is very hard to stop.
In the 2003 Rugby World Cup he scored Japan's try in the game against Scotland.
He scored a solo try for Japan against Wales in the 2007 Rugby World Cup which saw him beat several would-be tacklers and outrun them.
In the 2008 final of the Microsoft Cup Onozawa won the MVP award, and on the next day (February 25, 2008) he won the same award for the Top League as a whole.
At the 2011 Rugby World Cup he scored a try against the New Zealand All Blacks.
