Who is Hideo Kojima's best friend? An investigation
- Thread starter Ghost
- Start date

Ever since leaving Konami, it seems Hideo Kojima's personal life has become a tiny bit more public - namely, we now see who he hangs out with. Four names have taken the spotlight since then. Today, we investigate his relationship with each one to decide who's Kojima's true best friend.
Friend #1 - The original BFF, Guillermo Del Toro
They are friends from before the whole Konami situation went to shit.
And have gone on fun adventures together. They're fans of each other's work.
Kojima has, in fact, been to Del Toro's horror house.
And of course, they are very professional, working together on games and panels.
Friend #2 - The Cool Friend, Norman Reedus
Kojima and Reedus also go way back.
You could say he is Kojima's coolest friend.
Reedus has, in fact, starred in two of Kojima's recent works.
And he is not afraid of shitting on Konami.
Friend #3 - The Fan, Geoff Keighley
It's a challenge to find someone who looks at Kojima like Keighley does.
He's up for anything - including helping Kojima with pranks.
Let's not forget he has publicly cried for Kojima.
And he gives great gifts:

Friend #4 - The Sexy One, Mads Mikkelsen
He never misses a party.
They have, actually, gone Christmas shopping together.
Kojima may be in love with him (sorry Geoff)
Seriously, look at Kojima's smile when he is with Mads.
CONCLUSION:
It's definitely hard to say. Geoff clearly loves him and Kojima clearly loves Mads. Del Toro seems to be with buddy from work and Reedus is the one he calls when he wants to kick someone's ass.
Though I have to say, it seems he is more interested in spending time with Mads recently.
This is one of the greatest threads I have ever laid eyes on.
This thread has delivered. Kojima will announce his best friend at TGA confirmed.
good lord. welp looks like we got ERA's first legendary thread
Probably Del Toro; also that picture is just adorable.
Geoff Keighley's interactions with him and the way he talks about Kojima always just feel sort of... I dont know, stalkery or overly fanboy-ish...
Oh wow, my bad! Didn't skim through all the posts/pages.
Well, there it is then I guess lol
What does this make Kiefer and Hayter?
One time fling and a red headed step child he never knew he had?
omg this is amazing!
XD... This is pure gold...
how can I enter for the Switch prize?... XD
Maybe the reveal of the 'Sixth Entry In A Major Franchise' teased at TGA was the 6th Kojima friend? :P
The tension in that picture is realLook how intently Kojima and Sakurai are looking at each other. Thats true passion.
if there's one thing this legendary thread has taught me, it's that the real treasure was the hideo kojima we made along the way
Holy fucking shit
Thread has officially entered legendary status
Probably some fellow school or college classmate he still drinks with regularly. Or someone who was (is?!) with Konami.
Or Joakim Mogren.
The relationship between George Miller and Hideo Kojima can't really be described using weaksauce terms like "best friends".
