Yasuko Kobayashi (born April 7, 1965) is a writer in the {{Tokusatsu}} industry. Starting her career as a sub-writer in ''Series/TokusouRoboJanperson''[[note]]''Only'' #40.[[/note]], she became well known from 2000 on as the writer of ''Series/KamenRiderRyuki'', ''Series/KamenRiderDenO'', ''Series/MiraiSentaiTimeranger'', ''Series/SamuraiSentaiShinkenger'', and ''Series/KamenRiderOOO''.

She is notable for actively creating Tokusatsu stories that appeal to the target and {{Periphery Demographic}}s alike.
