According to this Japanese Wikipedia page, Tokuyoshi Kono has been the Japan Team trainer for the Sydney, Athens, and Beijing Olympics as well as both World Baseball Classics. It appears that his entire professional life has been as a physician/trainer.
About
This is a site about Pro Yakyu (Japanese Baseball), not about who the next player to go over to MLB is. It's a community of Pro Yakyu fans who have come together to share their knowledge and opinions with the world. It's a place to follow teams and individuals playing baseball in Japan (and Asia), and to learn about Japanese (and Asian) culture through baseball.
It is my sincere hope that once you learn a bit about what we're about here that you will join the community of contributors.

Could this be:
1) A trainer or other personnel officer incorrectly listed as a coach
2) A typo for Takayuki Kono
or
3) A coach named Toshiyuki Kono who just never have happened to play in NPB. If so, I imagine the guy had some coaching experience in Japan and would be interested in finding out about it.
