Yasutake Funakoshi (舟越 保武) was a Japanese sculptor and painter.
Funakoshi was born in what is now the town of Ichinohe in the Iwate Prefecture in northern Honshū.
Later he attended middle school in Morioka where the painter Shunsuke Matsumoto was among his schoolmates.
In 1939 Funakoshi joined the Shin Seisaku Kyōkai (新制作協会, "association for new art") and helped to organize its sculpture division.

In 1950 Funakoshi showed the sculpture Azalea at the 14th exhibition of the Shin Seisaku Kyōkai.

From 1958 to 1962 he created the sculptures Twenty-six Martyrs of Japan and later the Hara-no-Jo (原の城, Christian samurai).
For the former sculpture he was awarded the Takamura Kōtarō Prize (高村光太郎賞受賞) and the pope bestowed the Order of St. Gregory the Great on him in 1964.
From 1967 to 1980 he was a professor at the Tokyo University of the Arts (東京藝術大学) and from 1980 to 1983 at the Tama Art University (多摩美術大学).

For the latter sculpture he received the Nakahara-Teijirō-Prize (中原悌二郎賞) in 1972.
In addition to his work as an artist Funakoshi worked as a lecturer in his later life as well.
For Spring he received the Hasegawa-Hitoshi-Memorial-Prize and it was installed on the Heimai bridge in Kushiro in 1977.
After his retirement in 1983 he became an honorary professor at the Tokyo University of the Arts.
