![You’ve talked about passing the baton in the loop of life. How do you want Hideo Kojima to be remembered when you pass it on?
I am not going to pass the baton to anyone. I will rather crush the baton… [Laughs.] I don’t need to give “Hideo Kojima” to anyone. If I pass the baton to my staff and tell them to make things the same way I do, the company will not succeed and will go out of business.
What do you mean by that?
Every day, if I tweet something that I like, a director or an actor or a musician contacts me. They say, “I’m a creator because of your games.” But they didn’t receive the baton of Hideo Kojima. They received my small fire. They’re not copying me. They’re not trying to be me. They have this fire, and they light up their own. And they’ll probably give that to someone else. There were legendary comic book artists when I was a boy. I didn’t become a comic book artist – I was inspired by them, I was influenced.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:qxkeykszpqoob6dotcmifvur/bafkreihrf3nwfnjknhjmlcfuugqqodtxsfrs4ql47ezppmzn33np43azka)
![A Tiger head surrounded by flames coming out of their closed mouth. Their stripes are pink and light blue and their fur is white. These are the colours of the trans flag. The tiger’s eyes are sparkling.
The choice of a tiger is based on a pun. Tora is the Japanese word for tiger. When you read the world trans in Japanese katakana it starts with “tora” to-ra-n-su [ トランス ]
Under the tiger’s head text read: “a world without trans people has never existed and never will.”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:ockrei52p4jp26e7gl7yih4h/bafkreicvkcqovzfq74rtkociuf3o3sskbcwiqnjjoiayoixe3w5h3epwti)
