Kohei Matsuyama (松山弘平; born March 1, 1990) is a Japanese jockey.
Matsuyama developed an interest in the sport after his father and grandfather, who were horse racing fans, took him to watch horse racing at Hanshin Racecourse.[1] Matsuyama would go on to enroll in the JRA's Horse Racing School in 2006, before graduating in 2009 and acquiring his jockey license.[2]
