Kobe Bean Bryant (born August 23, 1978) is an American professional basketball player for the Los Angeles Lakers of the National Basketball Association (NBA). He entered the NBA directly from high school, and he has played for the Lakers his entire career, winning five NBA championships. Bryant is an 18-time All-Star, 15-time member of the All-NBA Team, and 12-time member of the All-Defensive team. He has led the league in scoring twice, and he ranks third on both the league's all-time regular season scoring and all-time postseason scoring lists. After beginning his 20th season with the Lakers in 2015–16, which set an NBA record for the most seasons with the same team, Bryant announced that he would retire after the season.
The son of former NBA player Joe Bryant, Kobe Bryant enjoyed a successful high school basketball career at Lower Merion High School in Pennsylvania, where he was recognized as the top high school basketball player in the country. He declared for the NBA draft upon graduation, and was selected with the 13th overall pick in the 1996 NBA draft by the Charlotte Hornets, who traded him to the Los Angeles Lakers. As a rookie, Bryant earned himself a reputation as a high-flyer and a fan favorite by winning the 1997 Slam Dunk Contest, and he was named an All-Star by his second season. Despite a feud between them, Bryant and Shaquille O'Neal led the Lakers to three consecutive championships from 2000 to 2002.
Kobe (神戸市, Kōbe-shi, Japanese pronunciation: [koːꜜbe]) is the sixth-largest city in Japan and is the capital city of Hyōgo Prefecture. It is located on the southern side of the main island of Honshū, on the north shore of Osaka Bay and about 30 km (19 mi) west of Osaka. With a population around 1.5 million, the city is part of the Keihanshin metropolitan area along with Osaka and Kyoto.
The earliest written records regarding the region come from the Nihon Shoki, which describes the founding of the Ikuta Shrine by Empress Jingū in AD 201. For most of its history, the area was never a single political entity, even during the Tokugawa Period, when the port was controlled directly by the Tokugawa Shogunate. Kobe did not exist in its current form until its founding in 1889. Its name comes from "kanbe" (神戸), an archaic title for supporters of the city's Ikuta Shrine. Kobe became one of Japan's 17 designated cities in 1956.
Kobe was one of the cities to open for trade with the West following the 1853 end of the policy of seclusion and has since been known as a cosmopolitan port city. While the 1995 Great Hanshin earthquake diminished much of Kobe's prominence as a port city, it remains Japan's fourth busiest container port. Companies headquartered in Kobe include ASICS, Kawasaki Heavy Industries, and Kobe Steel, as well as over 100 international corporations with Asian or Japanese headquarters in the city such as Eli Lilly and Company, Procter & Gamble, Boehringer Ingelheim, and Nestlé. The city is the point of origin and namesake of Kobe beef, as well as the site of one of Japan's most famous hot spring resorts, Arima Onsen.

Up all night talkin' on the phone,
That was the easy part,
Knowin' you're sittin there alone,
That was the hardest part,
I never thought I would be talkin' to myself,
Left with my heart,
I never been so close to death,
I keep on thinkin' 'bout chya,
And every memory we made,
And every single part
(It was like Heaven, Hell and everything),
(You were my summer, winter, close of spring),
And now you hurt me, healed me,
Can't believe, it's over,
(When you can't sleep at night),
(Feelin' like you can't get it right),
(And you should be done by now),
(Amazin' what used to be),
(We had all the missin' pieces),
Can't let it go,
(You don't know how)
You're missin' the best part,
You're missin' the best part,
You're missin' the best part,
(You know you should),
You should be done by now
Feelin' like I hate you on low,
That was the crazy part,
Knowin' you ain't never coming home,
That was the worst part,
I never thought I would be standin' at the stove,
I fixed this plate,
And now I'm eatin' it alone,
Can't keep on thinkin' about it,
Tryna let these memories fade,
But every single part
(It was like Heaven, Hell and everything),
(You were my summer, winter, close of spring),
You hurt me, healed me,
Can't believe that it's over,
(When you can't sleep at night),
(Feelin' like you can't get it right),
(And you should be done by),
(Amazin' what used to be),
(We had all the missin' pieces),
Can't let it go,
(You don't know how)
You're missin the best part,
You're missin the best part,
You're missin the best part,
(You know you should),
You should be done by now
