Hiromu Naruse was different engineer, but def carved Toyota's motorsports involvement and help develop Supra, MR2 and other sports cars. Of course, if you get into designer... Yoichi Sato (Rx7), (forgot the first name) Sakurai with GT-R comes to mind. Daisuke Sawai (AP1) is debatable. Not really Japanese, but want to note is Larry Shinoda (2nd gen Japanese) designer of String Ray & Mustang Boss 302 is up there on legend imo.
I'm pretty sure there are other famous engineers/designers... but that's what I can think top of my head.
