Hideo Kojima probably plays online ( MGO / COD online / Resistance Online ). But he uses an anonymous gamer ID tag. You've been actually playing against or with Hideo Kojima without realizing it.

@Ladiesman48321 he can most likely speak it, he might just have a hard time pronouncing words because he doesn't have to speak it

@Ladiesman48321

[Ladiesman48321]

Hideo Kojima is Awesome

[AndLOLGG]

He's more of an interpretor than a translator, eventhough the text says that he's a translator. It's kinda degrading to call him a translator because he's an even more skilled interpretor.
