He's a well-known music producer, lyricist, composer and keyboardist. He is best known for his work with the popular band “Mr. Children”. In 1996, he teamed up with [[Shunji Iwai]] to create the music for the film ''[[Swallowtail Butterfly]]'' and the Yen Town Band, headed by Pop star [[Chara]]. The band they created became a commercial hit in Japan. He would team up with [[Shunji Iwai|Iwai]] again in 2001 for the harrowing High School Drama ''[[All About Lily Chou-Chou]]''. Kobayashi would create the music for the titular pop star, Lily Chou-Chou (voiced by Japanese singer [[Salyu]]), that is spread through the film (as well as Debussy), and later be released as an album entitled ''Kokyu (Breathe)''. He also composed songs for Kill Bill 1 (2001, directed by Quentin Tarantino). His first project as a movie director, a piece [[Shunji Iwai]] wrote about the Japanese indie Rock scene in the early 1990s called ''[[Bandage]]'', is slated for release on January 16, 2010. Apart from that, he's also in charge of the music production once again. The project was originally taken by [[Ryuhei Kitamura]], but was dropped in 2006. The filming started in 2008 and [[Takeshi Kobayashi|Kobayashi]] has chosen a completely diferent cast for the movie, casting pop singer [[Jin Akanishi]], and [[Kie Kitano]] for the main roles. He also teamed up with [[Jin Akanishi]] to create the rock band LANDS. Having already debuted at first place in the Oricon rankings with the single "Bandage", they're going to release an album titled "Olympos" in 2010.
