Hideo Kojima Confirms Roles in Live-Action Film and Animation

Game designer Hideo Kojima has confirmed his participation in an upcoming major live-action film and a well-known animated production. Kojima, renowned in the gaming world for titles like Metal Gear Solid and Death Stranding, revealed the news on the KOJI10 radio program.

Specific details regarding the film or animation have not yet been disclosed, but Kojima stated that he has been invited to appear in both projects. He has previously featured in the Japanese drama series 'Yamikashi' and provided voice acting for the Japanese dub of 'Zootropolis 2'.

Kojima, who is currently working on two major game projects, the horror title 'OD' and the espionage game 'PHYSINT', commented that acting is more of a side pursuit for him.

The decision to take on these roles aligns with his past ventures, where he has occasionally made cameo appearances. For instance, his role in 'Zootropolis 2' came about through a direct invitation from the film's director.
