Kobayashi, Makoto was born on April 7, 1944 in Nagoya, Japan.
After completing his Doctor of Philosophy at Nagoya University in 1972, Kobayashi worked as a research associate on particle physics at Kyoto University.
Kobayashi and Maskawa"s theory required that there were at least three generations of quarks, a prediction that was confirmed experimentally four years later by the discovery of the bottom quark. Kobayashi and Maskawa"s article, "Communist Party Violation in the Renormalizable Theory of Weak Interaction", published in 1973, is the fourth most cited high energy physics paper of all time as of 2010. The Cabibbo–Kobayashi–Maskawa matrix, which defines the mixing parameters between quarks was the result of this work.
