Hideo Kojima cameos in Japanese cop show, but his appearance was altered because he looked "too young" despite being 62 years old

Hideo Kojima is no stranger to a cameo or two, having appeared in everything from the Japanese dub of Zootopia 2 to the streets of Night City in Cyberpunk 2077. And that's without mentioning the several times he's broken the fourth wall by appearing in one of his own titles.

But good luck trying to recognize the Metal Gear Solid and Death Stranding developer in his latest on-screen outing.
