Koseki Aquila Raphael (小関章ラファエル, born in Chiba Prefecture, Japan) is a Japanese producer, story architect and Jungian scholar. In 1998, he was baptized by Father Klaus Riesenhuber, a philosophy professor at Sophia University, and was given the name "Raphael."

Koseki works in theater, music, and animation productions. His scholastic interests span religion, theology, mythology, archetypology, digital content creation and film.

Koseki is known for his involvement in Andrew Lloyd Webber's musical the Phantom of the Opera. In 2007, his focus shifted to Japanese anime. He registered a trademark, "Aquilon" with the Japan Patent Office and his freelance activities are copyrighted by Aquilon.

Koseki began his career as a stagehand for Phantom of the Opera when it debuted in Japan under the Shiki Theatrical Company. In 1990, Koseki became the show's technical director. At the time, he decided to study graphic design at the Académie Julian/ESAG (Ecole Supérieure d'Art Graphique) in Paris, France. For the next few years, he backpacked through Europe, crossing Spain and the Sahara Desert, as well as visiting the United States.

From 1995 to 1998, Koseki continued his involvement in Phantom of the Opera as the show's opening advisor. In 1996, he established an independent record label and produced a CD featuring Satoko Yoshioka who played the "Christine" role in the Phantom of the Opera. His expertise in technologies such as DTM/DTP was used to compose and edit the music as well as design the CD art

In 1988, Koseki began studying analytical psychology under Harumi Yamane, a Jungian analyst and diplomate candidate of C. G. Jung Institute. Using Dream Analysis and Active Imagination, Koseki studied how images and stories may be used to access the unconscious.
