Makoto Kobayashi (小林 誠, Kobayashi Makoto, born April 7, 1944) is a Japanese physicist well-known for his work on CP-violation. His article "CP Violation in the Renormalizable Theory of Weak Interaction"[3] (1973) written with Toshihide Maskawa is the third most cited high energy physics paper of all time as of 2007[4]. The CKM Matrix, which defines the mixing parameters between quarks was the result of this work. He and Toshihide Maskawa were jointly awarded of the 2008 Nobel Prize in Physics, "for the discovery of the origin of the broken symmetry which predicts the existence of at least three families of quarks in nature."[5][6][7]

The CKM Ansatz postulates the existence of a third generation of quarks, which was experimentally confirmed four years later by the discovery of the bottom quark.
