Professor Yoshiaki Maeda, a co-editor of this volume, kindly asked me to prepare an article on academic genealogy of my brother Shoshichi Kobayashi. In the olden times, it would have been a formidable task for any individual who is not in the same field as the subject mathematician to undertake a genealogy search. Luckily, the “Mathematics Genealogy Project” (administered by the Department of Mathematics, North Dakota State University) [1] and Wikipedia [2] which document almost all notable mathematicians, provided the necessary information for me to write this article. Before I undertook this study, I knew very little about Shoshichi’s academic genealogy, except for his advisor
