To provide a method for producing a multicomponent copolymer with which a multicomponent copolymer having excellent rupture strength can be obtained, and a multicomponent copolymer, a rubber composition and a tire having excellent rupture strength. The method is a method for producing a multicomponent copolymer having a conjugated diene unit, a non-conjugated olefin unit and an aromatic vinyl unit, comprising adding a conjugated diene compound in divided portions into a reactor containing a catalyst and at least one selected from the group consisting of a non-conjugated olefin compound and an aromatic vinyl compound. The multicomponent copolymer is obtained with the production method. The rubber composition comprises the multicomponent copolymer as a rubber component. The tire uses the rubber composition.
