Kobayashi's numbers across three U20 Championship appearances paint a picture of a measured, contributory replacement who makes his minutes count. His carrying is purposeful rather than prolific, averaging just under eight metres per outing, with his best single-game output accounting for all 23 metres logged across the tournament — a sign that he can elevate when opportunity arises. Defensively he is consistent, chipping in with tackles at a steady rate that suggests he arrives on the field switched on and ready to compete.
