In May 2019, Kojima received his first call-up to the Japan senior national team by head coach Hajime Moriyasu, being included in the final squad for the Copa América in Brazil.[6]

In October 2023, he was called up again to the Samurai Blue squad, replacing injured Daiya Maekawa, for two friendly matches against Canada and Tunisia.[7]
