Back in November 2019, an article published by Video Games Chronicle claimed that Kojima Productions producer and founding member Kenichiro Imaizumi left the studio following a disagreement with other executives. While reports of internal conflict couldn?t be verified, it appears that Imaizumi did indeed leave the company and has now joined Chinese giant, Tencent.
According to VGC, Imaizumi has joined Tencent?s European arm based in Amsterdam. His role involves pursuing investment opportunities and expanding the company?s WeChat messaging service. Imaizumi and Kojima worked together for nearly two decades prior to his departure. Imaizumi is a Metal Gear Solid veteran and managed Death Stranding?s production.
