He won the Jury Prize at the 2013 Cannes Film Festival for Like Father, Like Son His paternal grandparents could not marry under Japanese law at the time as they had the same last name, so they eloped to Taiwan where they could, which was then under Japanese colonial rule. He has cited this as a reason for his affinity toward Taiwan. Kore eda was born in Nerima, Tokyo, Japan. He is the youngest of three children with two older sisters. From a young age, Kore eda would spend time watching movies with his mother. He said through an interpreter, "My mother loved films! She adored Ingrid Bergman, Joan Fontaine, Vivien Leigh. We couldn't afford to go together to the cinema, but she was always watching their movies on TV. She stopped all family business or discussions to watch these movies. We would watch together. So I adored film – like her." He initially failed his entrance exams, but was accepted into Waseda University a year later. In 1995, at the Venice Film Festival, his first fiction feature film Maborosi won a Golden Osella Award for Best Cinematography. At the first Buenos Aires International Festival of Independent Cinema in 1999, he won awards for Best Film and Best Screenplay for his film After Life. In 2005, he won the Blue Ribbon Awards for Best Film and Best Director for his film Nobody Knows. His 2008 film, Still Walking, also earned accolades, including Best Director at the 2009 Asian Film Awards, and the Golden Ástor for Best Film at the 2008 Mar del Plata International Film Festival. His 2013 film, Like Father, Like Son, premiered and was nominated for the Palme d'Or at the 2013 Cannes Film Festival. It eventually did not win, but it won the Jury Prize, as well as a commendation from the Ecumenical Jury. In October 2013, the film won the Rogers People's Choice Award at the 2013 Vancouver International Film Festival. Kore eda's 2015 film, Our Little Sister, was selected to compete for the Palme d'Or at the 2015 Cannes Film Festival, though it did not win. His 2016 film, After the Storm, debuted to critical acclaim at the 2016 Cannes Film Festival in the Un Certain Regard category. For his work on the film, he won the award for Best Director at the Yokohama Film Festival. In 2018, his film, titled Shoplifters, about a young girl who is welcomed in by a family of shoplifters, premiered at the Cannes Film Festival, where it won the Palme d'Or. It was also nominated for the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film. In 2018, he won the Donostia Award for his lifetime achievement at San Sebastián International Film Festival.

The film was selected to compete for the Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival in 2022 and won the Prize of the Ecumenical Jury. In January 2022, it was announced that Kore eda would be working with a team of directors including Megumi Tsuno, Hiroshi Okuyama, and Takuma Sato on a nine episode series called The Makanai: Cooking for the Maiko House, adapted from the manga Kiyo in Kyoto. In November 2022, Kore eda disclosed that he had already completed shooting his next Japanese film, titled Monster. With post production underway, Monster was scheduled for release in Japan on June 2, 2023. This release date positioned the film for a potential world premiere in May at the Cannes Film Festival, a customary platform for Kore eda. Monster won the Queer palm and the screenplay prize at the 2023 Cannes Film Festival.

According to the Harvard Film Archive, Kore eda's works "reflect the contemplative style and pacing of such luminaries as Hou Hsiao hsien and Tsai Ming liang". Kore eda is often compared to Yasujirō Ozu, however he has stated he feels more influenced by British director Ken Loach and Japanese director Mikio Naruse. In a 2009 interview, Kore eda revealed that Still Walking is based on his own family. Kore eda eventually evolved his own filmmaking style, abandoning some of the specific aesthetics seen in Shoplifters, he continues to capture emotions and creating realistic characters, which are elements he consistently refines in his subsequent works.
