After graduating, he was hired at Capcom in 1995 as a programmer on the first Resident Evil game.[1] After working as programmer on the sequel and a planner on the first Dino Crisis game, his first producer role was on Dino Crisis 2 in 2000.[1]
Starting with the first Sengoku Basara game (titled Devil Kings in North America) in 2005, Kobayashi worked as the producer for the video game series as well as a planning supervisor for the various anime adaptations. He was very interested in the Sengoku period and wanted to create an action game inspired by that period.[2]
After 27 years working at Capcom, Kobayashi left the company in March 2022 and announced that he joined NetEase Games in August of that same year as a producer.[3]
In October 2022, NetEase Games announced the establishment of GPTRACK50 Studio, which Kobayashi will lead as a president.[4]
