Koya (Japanese: コウヤ Kōya) is a character in Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Adventure.

Koya isn't very friendly, especially to people like Jun. He told him to quit being a Trainer as Jun lost to him.

Koya was shown in Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Adventure! volume 6, while Mitsumi and Cynthia were battling, the front seats were emptied, so Hareta went to them. He met Koya and his Pokémon Absol. Hareta tried to pet Absol and ended up getting a punch from Koya. They were about to battle in the stands until Mitsumi stopped them.

Later on, Koya tried to discourage Jun and Hareta in training Pokémon while they were both battling. Koya had a flashback, when he was optimistic trainer and partnered with his Growlithe. His Growlithe lost his courageous soul when he was defeated by a trainer with a Gyarados, and because of that, he is a serious trainer now. He helped defeat Neo Team Galactic.

Koya is a member of the International Police, working with Hansom on the trail of Kaisei.
