Bert Takaaki Kobayashi Sr. (July 8, 1916 – October 6, 2005) was a justice of the Supreme Court of Hawaii from July 17, 1969, to December 29, 1978.[1][2][3][4]

Kobayashi was born in 1916 to Japanese immigrant parents.[3] He attended President William McKinley High School, graduating in 1935. He attended Gettysburg College in Pennsylvania, and Harvard Law School.[1]

In 1962, Governor John Burns appointed Kobayashi Attorney General of Hawaii, after Kobayashi turned down a previous offer from Burns to run as his lieutenant governor. Burns appointed Kobayashi to the state supreme court in 1969.[1]
