is a former Japanese professional baseball pitcher who played for the Chunichi Dragons in Japan's Nippon Professional Baseball. He has been a pitching coach for the Dragons since 2003.
Kondō had a shortened career due to a consistent arm injury that forced him into early retirement.
On 8 August 1987, Kondō became the first player in Japanese baseball history to throw a no-hitter on debut in a 6-0 victory over the Yomiuri Giants.
He is the father of former Dragons outfielder, Hiroki Kondō.
