Notes[]
- An inspiration for Kojima's work on Death Stranding is that of Kōbō Abe's short novel Rope, which the director read in high school. The core keywords during the game's conception – "stick" and "rope" – are said to originate from Abe's work.
- Kojima grew up watching The Bionic Woman, which he used to watch every week as a 13-year-old. From watching the show, he became infatuated with Lindsay Wagner's character Jaime Sommers and the actress herself, and later came to notice an endearing commonality between Jaime and Lindsay herself upon meeting Lindsay in person.
