Takayoshi Ohmura (Japanese: 大村孝佳, Hepburn: Ōmura Takayoshi, born 26 December 1983) is a Japanese musician and songwriter. Born in Osaka Prefecture, his first instrument was the piano, which he began playing when he was three years old. By the age of 11, he had started to play acoustic guitar, moving to electric guitar at the age of 14. By the age of 17, he had developed an interest in western hard rock and heavy metal music and devoted himself to it.

Ohmura attended the Guitar Institute of Technology (GIT) from 2002 at the Musicians Institute Japan in Osaka. He met and played with Vitalij Kuprij and recorded the CD Nowhere to Go with Richie Kotzen, Mark Boals, and Doogie White.

Ohmura formed the band Cross Hard in 2005 and released Eclipse from East on 25 May 2005. In 2006, along with Cross Hard's bassist, Kaoru, he formed another band named Gloria and released the mini-album MOTIF on 26 March 2008. A second mini-album, Acrobatic Road, was released on 21 January 2009. Ohmura has played guitar on tour for Marty Friedman and has either been a member of or performed with various other bands and artists, such as Taiwanese pop singer A-Mei, Japanese singer Liv Moon (Akane Liv), jazz big band Date Course Pentagon Royal Garden (DCPRG), C4, Uroboros, and Babymetal. He is also an instructor at Musicians Institute Japan (MI Japan).
