[10.0] "(NOVEMBER 19, 2021) The absolute reincarnation of Bruce! I don't need to say the ratings here for Kobayashi fills me a lot with joy. He was among the most important juniors in the world, whether it was All Japan or New Japan, he always held their junior belts at some point to a dominant title reign, and played important roles to the main event scenes when he was needed. Also, I don't have to say his combination of legit martial arts background and grappling made him fabulously amazing and puts him right where he deserves to be, and he gave us guys like Koji Kanemoto and Minoru Tanaka, who are tremendous wrestlers and legends like he is today. (SEPTEMBER 10, 2024) Rest In Peace, eternal Tiger Hunter!"

[9.0] "The fact that he trained 2 of the best junior-heavyweights in the world already makes him amazing. Kobayashi is an outstanding techiniker and one of the most underrated guys in Japan."
