Honoo Hamaguchi (浜口 炎, Hamaguchi Honō) (born in December 1971[1]) is a Japanese basketball coach. He originates from Oshima Island. As of 2011 Hamaguchi had been a part of the Japanese basketball league longer than most of the other coaches of Japanese basketball teams had been a part.

For six seasons of the existence of the Sendai 89ers, Hamaguchi served as the coach.[2] He began as the coach of the Sendai 89ers after the team entered the bj-league in 2005.[1] In 2011 Hamaguchi's coaching of the Sendai 89ers ended after the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami occurred.[3] He is now the coach of the Kyoto Hannaryz.[2]

Ed Odeven said that Hamaguchi has "quirks" and sometimes an "overbearing coaching style."[4] In regards to Marcus Cousin playing for the Kyoto team, in 2012 a former Hannaryz player asked "He should obviously dominate, but it is all about how his personality will deal with Honoo. Will Honoo let him be himself, or will Honoo try to control every little detail?"[4]
