This paper presents research on KOBAYASHI Sanzaburo who was a medical doctor in Hawaii. There have been few studies of his life and work. KOBAYASHI was born in Hyogo prefecture and studied under MATSUMOTO Jun who was an army medical doctor. Then he enterd Cooper Medical College in San Francisco to major in surgery. After he graduated from Cooper Medical College in 1891, he went to work as a doctor in Hawaii. Hawaii has had many immigrants from Japan beginning in 1868. They confronted many difficult problems to live there. Dr. KOBAYASHI founded the Japanese Hospital in Honolulu in 1896. His reputation increased among not only Japanese but also among other foreginers in Hawaii. But this hospital was insufficient to meet the needs of Japanese in Honolulu. So he founded a new hospital in 1899. KOBAYASHI hospital was often called Nihonjin Byoin, or the Japanese Hospital. He came to faith in Buddhism when he contracted a serious disease and became a member of Bukkyo Seinenkai (Young Men's Buddhist Association). Later there was the great Chinatown Fire in January 1900. This disaster left 3500 Japanese homeless. So Nihonjin Jizenkai (Japanese benevolent society) built the Japanese Charity Hospital. KOBAYASHI's Japanese hospital faced financial difficulties after the Chinatown fire. Then Immigration companies bought KOBAYASHI's Hospital, and donated it to the Japanese Charity Society in 1902. When he returned to Japan in 1903, he was requested to be a directer of a charity hospital in Japan, so he went back to Hawaii in order to gather donations. In Hawaii he worked to raise funds and helped to found a charity hospital in Kyoto in 1908.
