Makoto Kobayashi (小林 誠, Kobayashi Makoto, born April 7, 1944, in Nagoya, Japan) is a Japanese physicist known for his work on CP-violation who was awarded one-fourth of the 2008 Nobel Prize in Physics "for the discovery of the origin of the broken symmetry which predicts the existence of at least three families of quarks in nature."
Biographical. I was born in Nagoya, Japan on April 7, 1944. As it was in the middle of the Second World War, I was evacuated to Kawagoe Village in Mie Prefecture the following year to escape the aerial bombardment over Nagoya. Soon after the war ended, my father passed away.
Using the small experimental clue of the broken CP symmetry and clear theoretical observation, Makoto Kobayashi and Toshihide Maskawa managed to predict the existence of the 5th and 6th quarks, which no one believed were real at the time.

Telephone interview with Makoto Kobayashi following the announcement of the 2008 Nobel Prize in Physics, 7 October 2008. The interviewer is Adam Smith, Editor-in-Chief of Nobelprize.org. Interview transcript
Kobayashi Makoto is a Japanese scientist who was a corecipient, with Yoichiro Nambu and Maskawa Toshihide, of the 2008 Nobel Prize for Physics. Kobayashi and Maskawa shared half the prize for their discovery of the origin of broken symmetry, which created at least six quarks moments after the big.

Kobayashi is a particle physics theorist at KEK since 1979. Kobayashi is the first Nobel laureate directly associated with KEK. He became the Director of the Institute of Particle and Nuclear Studies (IPNS) in 2003, and Professor Emeritus in 2006.
Makoto Kobayashi (小林 まこと, Kobayashi Makoto) (born May 13, 1958) is a Japanese manga artist who is best known for his unusual drawing style. One of his best known manga is What's Michael?, a manga about a curious orange cat and his many adventures that is often compared with Garfield.
