	Goseki Kojima - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Goseki Kojima (小島剛夕 Kojima Gōseki, November 3, 1928 - January 5, 2000) was a manga-ka.
		Kojima was born on the same day that Osamu Tezuka was born on.
		Kojima created art for kamishibai or "paper play" narrators.

	Hideo Kojima - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In early 2000, Kojima released the first details of the sequel to Metal Gear Solid, Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty, for the PlayStation 2.
		Afterwards, Kojima also designed and released Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater for the PlayStation 2, which is set in the year 1964 (during the height of the Cold War) and involves wilderness survival, unlike the previous games in the series which took place in the near future and focused on indoor locations.
		On April 1, 2005, after Konami merged several of its subsidiaries, Kojima's team at Konami Computer Entertainment Japan was transformed into "Kojima Productions." With this new team, Kojima is no longer burdened with the business management and administrative responsibilities he had as KCEJ's vice president, and thus is able to focus solely on creating games.

		Kojima, producer of the Metal Gear Solid series, is idolised by gamers, and though many of them disagree on what the hell is happening in some of his more recent games' plots, everyone agrees that his glasses are probably the greatest glasses ever.
		Kojima has been quite outspoken in the past on the influence of the Kurt Russell character on Solid Snake, and seeing as every little quirk of his games has some place in American pop-culture lore, I figured it was best to ask about Solid Snake's mullet.
		Kojima insists games' stories aren't composed as something that will end up as literature one day; the writer is simply taking pieces of the times and throwing them together into something designed to keep the player pressing buttons.

		But according to a statement Kojima made at the time, and based on a document submitted to verify his funds, Kojima claimed he was being bankrolled by a shadowy off-shore corporation registered in the British Isle of Jersey.
		Kojima had arranged this letter of commitment to be sent to Harvard' s Middle East Institute to verify that he could make good on his pledged donation of $205,000.
		At the time of Kojima's donation to the President's Dinner, Lippo Bank had a two-year-old judgment against him for $586,000 and ultimately was awarded less than half of that by the federal judge assigned to divvy up $500,000 of Kojima's donation among creditors.

		Kojima passed away on January 5, 2000 at the age of 71.

		Kojima, sadly, doesn't talk too much about the game (he actually states that the game's system hasn't been confirmed yet, which means this interview was conducted some time before E3's announcement of a PS3 release).
		Kojima states that ten people from all the way back when he was working on the classic Policenauts out of Kobe are still at his side.
		Kojima reveals that he no longer needs to handle business matters, which is something that occupied his time at KCE Japan where he served as a vice president.

		A lot of this is because of Kojima's ability to mix the use of both intense action and subtle humor in both the dialogs and different actions.
		Kojima: - I also had a somewhat virtuall perception of the world when I was younger, and a lot of this could of course be wrong and based on stereotypes...
		Kojima: - On the other side lies the fact that many users is waiting for a reality simulator of sorts - a game, but something really like real-life.

		Kojima confirmed that Metal Gear Solid 3 takes place in the 1960s, and as seen in the E3 demo, the theme is survival in the jungle.
		Kojima laughingly said that a lot of the foreign press kept asking him in the E3 conference if the bike in the trailer could be ridden, so he reacted positively to it.
		Kojima explained that man-made structures such as buildings are easy to render and hit-detect, but nature tends to have crests and gaps that make the game's calculations difficult, especially when the player, enemy, and other objects interact with them.

		Kojima writes that most game creators in the industry make a hit game and then leave it for the company to create sequels, leaving to form their own company or to move into management.

		Armchair Theory is a funny and original approach to the format, but the question of whether Kojima is ready for the big leagues remains unanswered.
		If we give Junji Kojima the benefit of the doubt, Jam Films 2's score of two out of four may be only an average result.

		All that is mentioned to suggest that Kojima's cheesy death scenes may be necessary, at this point, to make up for the lack of tools to create the subtle impressions of a real human being.
		I agree that one of the reasons Kojima goes overboard with the melodramatics and long speeches is because he doesn't yet have the technology to communicate truly complex emotions yet.
