Hisayoshi Harasawa (原沢 久喜, Harasawa Hisayoshi, born 3 July 1992) is a Japanese judoka.[1][2] Harasawa was considered a staple of Japanese heavyweight judo throughout the 2010s decade.[citation needed]

He competed at the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, in the men's +100 kg.[3] where he won the silver medal on the final against gold medal winner Teddy Riner.

After being seeded #2 for the 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo, Harasawa once again faced Teddy Riner, this time for the men's +100 kg bronze medal. Riner defeated Harasawa by ippon.[4]
