was a Japanese film director. ==Biography== Kobayashi embarked on a career in film in 1941 when he entered Shochiku Studios as an apprentice director, but his career was almost immediately interrupted when he was drafted into the army and sent to Manchuria. Kobayashi regarded himself as a pacifist. His way of resisting was to refuse promotion to a rank higher than private. He spent time as a prisoner of war. After his release, in 1946, he returned to Shochiku as assistant to the director Keisuke Kinoshita. His own directorial debut was in 1952 when he made ''Musuko no Seishun'' (''My Son's Youth''). From 1959 to 1961, Kobayashi directed ''The Human Condition'' (1959–1961), a trilogy on the effects of World War II on a Japanese pacifist and socialist. The total length of the films is over nine hours. In 1962 he directed ''Harakiri'', which won the Jury Prize at the 1963 Cannes Film Festival. In 1964, Kobayashi made ''Kwaidan'' (1964), a collection of four ghost stories drawn from books by Lafcadio Hearn. Kwaidan won the Special Jury Prize at the 1965 Cannes Film Festival,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Festival de Cannes: Kwaidan )〕 and received an Academy Award nomination for Best Foreign Language Film.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The 38th Academy Awards (1966) Nominees and Winners )〕 In 1969, he was a member of the jury at the 19th Berlin International Film Festival.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Berlinale 1969: Juries )〕 He was also a candidate for directing the Japanese sequences for ''Tora!
