Hideo Kojima is one of the gaming industry's most well known figures. Revered for his work on the Metal Gear Solid series (and Death Stranding, of course), the designer/director has attracted a large following, and now enjoys an almost celebrity status. These days, Kojima goes mad for social media, and posting regularly on sites like Twitter has made him more popular than ever. He's so popular these days, in fact, that he now has two Guinness World Records to prove it.
It turns out his love of social networking has paid off, as he now officially holds records for the Most Followers for a Video Game Director on both Twitter and Instagram. That's right: Kojima's duo of world records stems from his follower counts, not his games. What a world.
Funnily enough, it seems most social posts mentioning these achievements have been removed.

@RainbowGazelle Hideo Kojima isn't a game
I see they give 'World Records' away for any old thing these days...
Language please - Quintumply
Sorry Quintumply! T_T
That kojima, always connecting people in game and real life
I fear that Push Square publishing articles on Kojima and Death Stranding every couple of days will make things worse for both him and the game. Let his works speak for themselves (and him obviously). Kojima haters or doubters won't change their minds about him or DS. I guess he doesn't care either way. Making Death Stranding proves he is not looking for public acclaim.
This is quite amusing
At this point he may as well receive a certificate for the most talked about person on PushSquare
Just a joke, please don't ban me.
Did he got the 'most one horse races won in a day' award too?
I feel like that Kojima Productions logo is just too complicated for a logo.
@Quintumply that's funny, I've seen this is a Hideo Kojima game pop up on my TV so many times 😂
@carlos82 Perfect.
@RainbowGazelle I thought the same thing. That absolutely has to to do with games. I was expecting something weird, but no, it@: game related.
@RainbowGazelle Your not alone as I was thinking the same thing. He received the world records on account of being the most followed Video Game Director on Twitter and Instagram. Being a Video Game Director obviously has something to do with games, I mean the clue is in the title 🤦🏻♂️ Why else would he have amassed so many followers if it had nothing to do with his games?
@Quintumply But does make them?
