Promotion for Hideo Kojima

Konami's Hideo Kojima, creator and creative director of the Metal Gear Solid series, has been given a new title, 'Managing Director Operating Officer and Studio Head', Kotaku reports.

Kojima was previously VP at Konami before founding his own studio, Kojima Productions - a move that took him away from the business side of the company and allowed him to focus on games development
