On long-term talent our Rating reads 26, top 18% of the 57 centre-forwards in the J3 League. At 25 Kobayashi is in his prime years, and a market index of 3.2 reflects that trajectory.
Output in context · Kochi United finished 18th of 20 · a relegation-threatened side
10 goals in 13 appearances (0.77 per game) is double figures — and for a relegation-threatened side (18th of 20), a real standout. Weaker sides create and score less, so carrying double-figure output there says more than the raw number alone.
Strengths
- Final-third output. 0.87 goal contributions per 90 (0.87 goals, 0 assists) — productive for the role.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 30.3% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 25.9, Kobayashi carries the 10th-highest potential of the centre-forwards in the J3 League of 57 — though on just 13 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. In the final third he profiles as a genuine goal threat (0.87 goal contributions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
