Takayoshi Noma (野間 峻祥, Noma Takayoshi, born January 28, 1993 in Miki, Hyōgo, Japan) is a Japanese professional baseball player for the Hiroshima Toyo Carp of Nippon Professional Baseball (NPB).

On February 27, 2019, he was selected for Japan national baseball team at the 2019 exhibition games against Mexico.[1]

He uses Dragostea Din Tei by Moldovan pop group O-Zone as his walk-up song, because "Numa Numa" in the lyrics sounds like "Noma Noma" to Japanese people.[2]
