Masahiko Kobayashi (小林 雅彦), also known as Match or Macchi (マッチ)[1], is a former programmer at Sega of Japan. He was well-known for his antics at Studio 128 and Sega R&D 8,[2] such as refusing to let the president of Sega into his room because Yu Suzuki had said to not "anyone" into their top-secret After Burner development studio,[3][4] or debugging G-LOC: Air Battle without permission or a partner, eventually being trapped in the cabinet for 2 hours.[4][5]
Sometime between the release of Daytona USA in 1994 and Cyber Troopers Virtual-On in 1996, Kobayashi moved from AM2 to AM3[1].
Achacha, final boss of Dynamite Dux, was modelled after Kobayashi, depicting his beard, which was also referenced in After Burner with the phrase "BE CAREFUL! - MATCH'S WEAPON IS BEARD AND OIL.".
