Kohei Ashiya (芦谷 耕平, Ashiya Kohei) is a Japanese animator credited for his work on the TV adaptation of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure by David Production. An animation director since the first season, Ashiya is well known for his publicized traditionally drawn artwork.

Ashiya is a full-time lecturer in the Tokyo Media Arts department at Takarazuka University where he teaches classes in animation content production. Influenced by JoJo since his high school days, he was eventually sought out as an animation director for the series after officials discovered his early drawings of its characters.
