10 Craziest Hidden Characters In Video Games

8. Hideo Kojima - Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker

Legendary game designer Hideo Kojima has featured in a tonne of different games from Control to Death Stranding to Cyberpunk 2077, but we’re here to talk about Metal Gear Solid 3.

Hideo Kojima, being the madcap genius he is, decided to let you, as Big Boss, recruit him by selecting the truck in the Crater Base garage with the number plate "CENTRO AMERICA 63824 PEACE SENTINEL." The plate is a reference to Kojima’s birthday and opting for it gives you a delightful exchange between Kojima and Big Boss himself where the latter says hello and Kojima waves.

You can fire and rehire Kojima as much as you want, not that I imagine you’d want to do that. Who on earth would fire Kojima?!
