Refers to Hideo Kojima, a famous Japanese video game designer known for creating complex, cinematic games.
A Japanese surname. 'Ko' can mean 'small' or 'tiger,' and 'jima' means 'island,' though surnames don't always retain literal meanings. Hideo Kojima (born 1963) became legendary in gaming.
Kojima basically invented the 'stealth game' genre and then left the industry to prove games could be pure art—his influence on gaming is like Hitchcock's influence on film.
