Kobayakawa Shûsei was a ''[[Nihonga]]'' painter, known in particular for his paintings related to WWII.
Originally from [[Hyogo prefecture|Hyôgo prefecture]], his birth name was Mitsumaro. After dropping out of the Kyoto City Painting School (''Kyôto shiritsu kaiga senmon gakkô''), Shûsei studied under [[Taniguchi Kokyo|Taniguchi Kôkyô]] and [[Yamamoto Shunkyo]]. He was selected to exhibit in the [[Bunten]] for the first time in 1914.

His famous works include paintings titled "Evening of Venus" (''Venus no yoi''), "Capital of Paradise" (''Jakkô no miyako''), and the 1968 work "Shield of the Country" (''Kuni no Tate''), which depicts a dead soldier lain out on the ground, in military uniform, his face covered with a ''hinomaru'' flag.
