Background and Role
Hayato Kobayashi begins his journey as one of the civilian refugees who takes refuge aboard White Base in Mobile Suit Gundam. Although not initially inclined towards combat, Hayato’s loyalty to his friends and his determination to support the crew lead him to pilot the Guntank alongside Ryu Jose. While initially unsure of his skills and role, Hayato grows into a capable pilot, becoming an essential support character throughout White Base’s journey and battles against Zeon forces.
Over time, Hayato’s character further develops through his commitment to the Federation’s cause and his unwavering loyalty to his friends, particularly Amuro Ray and Kai Shiden. As the story progresses, he joins the AEUG (Anti-Earth Union Group) in Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam, continuing to fight for peace in the Universal Century timeline.
Beside the formidable RMV-1 Guntank II, Hayato Kobayashi exudes confidence and strength, embodying the resolve and tactical skill needed to pilot this heavy artillery mobile suit.
Personality and Relationships
Hayato is characterized by his resilience, loyalty, and desire to contribute to his team’s success despite his limitations. Though he initially struggles with feelings of inadequacy, particularly in comparison to the more naturally skilled Amuro, he overcomes these insecurities through hard work and persistence. Hayato’s deep bonds with his friends motivate him to continuously step up in the face of danger, often putting himself at risk to protect those he cares about.
In later series, such as Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam and Mobile Suit Gundam ZZ, Hayato takes on a more mature role, becoming a family man and running a dojo in Japan while continuing to support the AEUG. He adopts Amuro’s young admirer, Katz Kobayashi, and serves as a mentor, passing on the values of courage and perseverance that he has embodied throughout his journey.
