Notes[]
- In most Sentai series where Kobayashi is the head writer, there are multiple Red Warriors (TimeRed & TimeFire in Timeranger, Shinken Red & Princess Shinken Red in Shinkenger, Red Buster & Dark Buster in Go-Busters, the Transfer Changes in ToQger technically allow all five main Rangers to be Red at some point).
- In all Sentai series where she is the writer (as a main writer or secondary writer), there is no giant robo which use the suffix -jin (outside from team-ups).
- Uniquely for Super Sentai, Yasuko Kobayashi wrote a reprisal of a one-off character from one series to another; having originally created the character of Reggie for episode 16 of Kyukyu Sentai GoGoFive, he was written again into episode 36 of the following Mirai Sentai Timeranger.
- She is the first woman to be the head writer of a Super Sentai season, followed by Michiko Yokote and Junko Kōmura.
