Hideo Kojima in LA, today!

The creator of the Metal Gear Solid series is making not one, but two public appearances in the US today. And he's bringing a friend!

The first scheduled stop is at GameStop Planet X in the Glendale Galleria 11am. Not only is Kojima appearing, but the character designer for Metal Gear Solid, Yoji Shinkawa, will be joining him.

There is also an appearance by the pair scheduled for later in the day at a branch of EB Games.

Hideo rarely makes public appearances outside of Japan, so if you're lucky enough to live in the LA region, this could be well worth checking out.
