Hideo Kojima (小島 秀夫 Kojima Hideo, born August 24, 1963) is a minor character in the SMG4 series.
He is a Japanese video game designer, screenwriter, director and game producer. He is probably best known for making the Metal Gear series. He makes multiple cameos as a recurring Easter Egg, notably throughout The Anime Arc.
He appears in a former A.S.S. building (in the mists of being cleared out due to the A.S.S.'s disbandment) telling an A.S.S. Chain Chomp that it is no longer needed. It naturally attacks him due to not liking that.
In an alternate timeline where Hal Monitor is a criminal, he is about to cut open the gate to commemorate the opening of a hospital when Mr. Monitor knocks his scissors away.
His first non-cameo role. He kidnapped Eggdog because he wanted to make a game called Nintendogs 2077 based on it. When Mario and Johnny confronted him in his office, he transformed into Steven Armstrong, which overpowered Johnny. He was instantly defeated after Mario hacked Johnny and turned him into a dwarf version of John Wick. After seeing the trio drive off, he was forced to delay Nintendogs 2077.
