Mitsuyasu Maeno (前野 光保, Maeno Mitsuyasu, c.1947– March 23, 1976) was a Japanese actor who acted under the name Soichiro Maeno (前野 霜一郎, Maeno Sōichirō). Outside of acting, Maeno was associated with the Japanese ultranationalist movement.

Maeno attempted to kill Kodama by flying a plane into his home, but Kodama survived uninjured.
