Hideo Kojima and Sam Porter Bridges Honored with Realistic Cakes by Gaming’s “Cake Queen” at Brasil Game Show 2025

At Brasil Game Show 2025, renowned game designer Hideo Kojima received two exceptionally realistic cakes from Nubia Moraes, known as the “cake queen” for her gaming-themed creations. Moraes shared images of the cakes on her Instagram page. One cake was a lifelike depiction of Kojima himself, while the other represented Sam Porter Bridges, the protagonist from Death Stranding and Death Stranding 2. These were presented during a meet-and-greet event.

Hideo Kojima’s Game-Making Journey from Film Dreams to Gaming Legend

Hideo Kojima, a prominent figure in game design, is known for creating games with a strong personal touch. Born on August 24, 1963, in Tokyo’s Setagaya district and raised in Osaka, he was the youngest of three children. Deeply influenced by manga, movies, and books throughout his life, Kojima began making games after his father, Kingo Kojima—a traveling pharmacist—passed away during his teenage years. This pursuit served as a way to cope with his loss. Kojima’s early creative inclinations also extended to filmmaking. With a friend’s Super 8 camera, they produced films at school, charging classmates 50 yen for viewings. On one occasion, Kojima persuaded his parents to fund a trip to a Japanese island by claiming it was for a film project. However, he spent most of the trip swimming, only adding zombies to the plot on the final day, and ultimately never showing the film to his parents. During his time at university, Kojima attempted to enter the film industry, believing that winning writing awards could lead to directing opportunities. However, after encountering Nintendo’s Famicom, his interest shifted toward video games. He later commented that the absence of film enthusiasts among his friends had hindered his cinematic aspirations.

Hideo Kojima’s Transformative Journey from Famicom to Metal Gear on MSX

In 1986, Kojima joined Konami’s MSX game development team. At the time, Konami was the only Japanese video game company listed on the stock exchange. Kojima was initially dissatisfied, having expected to work on Famicom games, and found the MSX’s 16-color palette restrictive. Nevertheless, in 1987, Konami appointed him senior staffer and tasked him with leading Metal Gear. Due to hardware limitations that made combat challenging, Kojima reoriented the gameplay to focus on an escaping prisoner, a concept inspired by the Hollywood film The Great Escape, which featured Kurt Russell. This innovative approach marked a pivotal moment in his career, shaping his future contributions to the gaming industry.
