Takayuki Kobayashi is a member of the House of Representatives belonging to the Liberal Democratic Party and is said to be a future candidate for prime minister.
I’m curious about what kind of family he grew up in and how he met his wife, who is a lawyer.
This time, we conducted a thorough investigation into how Takayuki Kobayashi met his wife, as well as family anecdotes about his daughter, father, and siblings.

From Takayuki Kobayashi’s websiteIn November 2006, Takayuki Kobayashi married his classmate from the University of Tokyo, Yuko.
Wife: Yuko Kobayashi (late 40s)
Birthplace: Tokyo
Education: Graduated from the Faculty of Law, University of Tokyo
Daughter: Haruka Kobayashi
Date of birth: Late May 2010 (second year of junior high school)
Representative Takayuki Kobayashi and his wife Yuko met at the University of Tokyo.
Since they are classmates, he is likely the same age as Kobayashi or one year younger.
Yuko is also said to be a lawyer by profession.
During his student days, Mr. Kobayashi was busy with rowing club activities and attended training camps, so he was only able to go on dates with his wife Yuko about twice a month.
They had been in a relationship for 12 years, but decided to get married when Takayuki Kobayashi was posted to the United States.
I attended the House of Representatives election campaign ceremony for Takayuki Kobayashi, Minister of State for Economic Security!
This is the first time I’ve seen you speak, but you’re really clever. I’m sure there’s no one else who can reproduce what you say even when you’re not there.
I was also able to talk to the mayor of Narashino and prefectural assembly members who came to support me, so it was definitely a good decision to go even though it was a bit of a stretch. pic.twitter.com/v953SROjEL— Emi Yoshida (Megumi) @ Tsudanuma, Chiba (@yoshimeg_cpa) October 19, 2021
Episode with my daughter
When Yuko, who had given birth at her hometown, and her newborn daughter Haruka returned to their home in Yachiyo City, they made the following appeal:
Haruka, let’s walk together with Mommy and Daddy.
In addition, stories about Haruka often appear on Takayuki Kobayashi’s social media.
After returning home, I gave my 11-day-old daughter a baby bath. She cried when my wife did it, but when I did it, she was ecstatic. “You’re amazing, Dad!” I know my wife is just flattering me, but I’m pretty happy. I heard that “Ikemen,” or “Ikemen,” are becoming popular these days. If Ikemen become a social trend, it will be good for mothers, fathers, children, and everyone.

March 2013: Going to the bakery with my 2-year-old daughter
I went to the bakery with my daughter for an early morning breakfast date.
I finally got my hands on the rabbit bread and my daughter and I happily munched on it together with big smiles.
I finished my daytime political activities early and went to Sumida Aquarium late in the evening.
I fell into a deep sleep in the car on the way home.

September 2017: My daughter has something to teach me
This morning, my daughter made the morning glory bloom with determination. She kept watering the almost dead morning glory, and it finally bloomed. “Dad, it’s important to never give up.” I learned a lot from this. pic.twitter.com/Zqu4Rbg0ES

November 2017: Running with my daughter who is working hard. I was so happy.
Early in the morning, my daughter, a first-grade student, who was sleeping next to me, said something cute to me: “Daddy, run with me.” So I whipped my tired body into a RUN. It seems that there will be a marathon at school soon.
Yes, running with my hard working daughter is so exciting.
It’s nice to be invited by my daughter. https://t.co/BX0pfDFuns— Takayuki Kobayashi (@kobahawk) November 11, 2017
July 2021: My father tries to live up to his wish to break the Guinness World Record.
Tanabata. I found a piece of paper with the message “May my family live long lives and break the Guinness World Record.” It was written by my daughter, so I’m going to have a medical checkup soon.

August 2021: Representative Kobayashi plays basketball with his daughter in a park early in the morning. His daughter’s fingers are visible in the photo.
I’m still using my old skills. I can’t spend much time with my kids during summer vacation, so the other day I played basketball with my daughter in an empty park in the early morning. She begged me to shoot a three-pointer, so I took a photo of her. pic.twitter.com/rUswVQkmwH

June 2022: Representative Kobayashi is thrilled with his Father’s Day gift.
Father’s Day. A business card holder with a portrait and message drawn by my 6th grade daughter. I’m grateful that she has grown up to be able to think of things like this. I’ll treasure it. pic.twitter.com/I4C3ebkaV6

March 2023: Elementary school graduation
The other day, I attended my daughter’s elementary school graduation ceremony. When the graduates started singing the school song, I almost burst into tears. The last three years have been a COVID-19 pandemic. I think they’ve done well. The school bag🎒, which looks smaller than it was at the entrance ceremony, has been sticking tightly to my daughter’s back for six years. Thank you. pic.twitter.com/aK9l2wjdrc

Children grow up so quickly, and even though there are lots of funny little episodes, they gradually forget them.
X contains many adorable stories of exchanges between Congressman Kobayashi and his daughter, and reading them made me feel warm and fuzzy inside.
Takayuki Kobayashi’s father is a trading company employee
Takayuki Kobayashi’s father was Yasuyoshi Kobayashi, a salaried worker at a trading company.
Father: Yasuyoshi Kobayashi (February 1, 1942 – March 28, 2015)
Birthplace: Mitoyo City, Kagawa Prefecture
Education: Takase High School
mother:
Origin: Kagawa Prefecture
Education: Kannonji First High School
younger brother:
Education: Graduated from Waseda University (member of the rugby club)
During his career, his employer went bankrupt, and he often came home exhausted in the middle of the night.
He joined Noda Co., Ltd. in 2000 at the age of 58 and became a director in 2002.
He was appointed as a permanent auditor in 2008 and served in that position until February 2012 (at the age of 70).
He passed away on March 28, 2015 at the age of 73.
Episode with parents
Early morning activities at Makuhari Hongo Station ended.
One person said, “Is that you? Do you know Mr. XX? We sing together in a chorus. Apparently he was one of your father’s subordinates, and Mr. XX asked me to support him in the first election. Good luck.”It has been five years since my father passed away, but that morning I was once again grateful for the bonds that my parents had made for me.

“I’m X, who was a colleague of your father at X company. Your father called me during the first election. Good luck,” he said.
While looking at some documents at my parents’ house, I found a list of the companies my father worked for, and the names of people who lived in my constituency were marked in pink highlighter.
I am simply grateful that my late father supported his son without even realizing it.
From Takayuki Kobayashi’s Facebook page 2019/8/13
So you were using your own connections to support your son!
It must be quite moving to be approached on the street and asked about your father.
Fourth day in DC. Policy discussions continue today, focusing on security. I jogged to the Lincoln Memorial at 6am. It was a place my late father loved. I always get motivated when I come here. pic.twitter.com/4ZPllLxSi5

It looks like a pleasant place!
I loved this wonderful place!
With a rice farmer in Kanno-ku, Yachiyo City. Just before my father passed away, he could barely eat anything, but he was able to eat the Milky Queen rice that this farmer made. He always remembers that story, and even today he says, “Please offer it to my father’s Buddhist altar.” I’m grateful for his kindness. pic.twitter.com/iYN4SjHMZy

What is Milky Queen?
This low-amylose rice was developed by further improving Koshihikari as part of the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries’ Super Rice Project.
After cooking, the rice shines and has a chewy texture, sweetness, and softness, making it delicious to eat.
Furthermore, this rice does not harden easily even when cooled, making it ideal for rice balls and bento lunches.
Takayuki Kobayashi has one sibling!
My younger brother graduated from Waseda University and was a member of the rugby club.
Finished standing at the station. My younger brother happened to pass by before going to work, which felt strange. There are still not many people who say hello to me, but every word they say is heartwarming. Thank you.
— Takayuki Kobayashi (@kobahawk) September 23, 2010
Since his younger brother passed by the street speech, we can assume that he lives near the constituency.
