"Metal Gear Solid creator Hideo Kojima is apparently a fan of Stephanie Meyer’s Twilight series, opting in to judge a fan art contest themed around the second entry in the romantic vampire action series, New Moon.
That’s according to a release from Japanese artist network pixiv–pretty much the overseas equivalent of deviantArt–which has tapped Kojima, Evangelion character designer and manga creator Yoshiyuki Sadamoto, and Twilight manga artist Ryuji Gotsubo to judge a Twilight: New Moon fan art contest.
Kojima, who I’d wager aligns himself with Team Jacob, is reportedly a "huge fan" of Twilight, according to the Anime News Network’s translation of the release. He’ll contribute his expert opinion as well as a signed copy of Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots, apparently, to the list of grand prizes."
