For art fans out there – especially those who like their Metal Gear of the solid variety – the name Yoji Shinkawa should come as no surprise. Hiroshima-born Shinkawa-san has been working with Konami since 1994, contributing to such iconic titles as the Metal Gear series and Zone of the Enders. All those splashy pictures of Snake that have graced the series over the years? They’re Shinkawa’s.
Check out this quick video of the man in action at a recent live art event in Tokyo. Keep an eye out for Kojima-san in the audience as well as one seriously cool looking Raiden cos-play dude (or dudette – it’s kinda hard to tell).
Thanks OPM
