Shogo Mukai (向井昭吾, born October 2, 1961) was the coach of the Japan national rugby union team during and prior to the 2003 Rugby World Cup. As such he must take a great deal of credit for the exciting and attractive brand of rugby which the team played at that time, which was very popular with many fans, not just Japanese ones. Nevertheless it must be noted that the team did not win any games, extending the poor record of Japan in all the tournaments since the first one in 1987. (The only win so far was against Zimbabwe in 1991.)

Mukai is now coaching at Coca Cola West Red Sparks in Kyūshū and has guided them to win promotion to the Top League for the 2006-7 season with the help of former Japan captain Andrew McCormick who was captain of Toshiba when Mukai coached them.
