Michio Yamauchi (山内 道雄) is a Japanese street photographer focusing in human photography based out of Tokyo, Japan.

Life and career
Michio Yamauchi was born in a mountain village in Nishimikawa, Aichi (currently part of Toyota City) on October 23, 1950. Yamauchi studied in the literature department at Waseda University, and after graduating, at 29 years old, entered night school at the Tokyo School of Photography (currently known as Tokyo Visual Arts school(専門学校東京ビジュアルアーツ, Tokyo Visual Arts school).

In 1982, the same year he graduated from the Tokyo School of Photography, Yamauchi took part in an indie gallery know as "Camp Image Shop"(イメージショップ CAMP, Image Shop CAMP). During this time, Yamauchi was an understudy of Daidō Moriyama(森山大道, Moriyama Daido). Afterwards, Yamauchi spent over 10 years as a freelance photographer, mainly participating in indie galleries where he would display photos he took around Tokyo. Yamauchi eventually focused on publishing books of his photography after publishing "To People" (人へ, hito e) and "City"　(街, machi). From this point on, Yamauchi, whilst continuing photography in Tokyo, began heading overseas as well.

Awards
In 1997, Yamauchi won the 22nd Ina Nobuo Award for his exhibition "British Territory Hong Kong" (英領HONGKONG, eiryō hongkong) at the Ginza Nikon Salon in Tokyo, Japan. Then, in 2011, he received the 20th Hayashi Tadahiko Award for his exhibition and photo album entitled "Keelung" (基隆, kiirun). This award (林忠彦賞) is given annually by Shunan city and the Shunan City Museum of Art and History, started in 1992, named in honor of Tadahiko Hayashi, a notable Japanese photographer. Yamauchi's collections can still currently be seen at the Tokyo Metropolitan Museum of Photography, the Shunan City Museum of Art and History, the Nikon Salon and other places throughout Japan.
