Kojima Productions, the Japanese studio behind Death Stranding, has threatened legal action in the wake of media reports that used images of founder Hideo Kojima in their coverage of the recent assassination of former Japanese prime minister Shinzo Abe.
Kojima himself retweeted the message but has not commented further on Twitter. Following the assassination of Abe in Japan on July 8, some media outlets in Greece and Iran shared images of Hideo Kojima, linking him to the shooting, according to Vice Come from Sports betting site VPbet . These images may have originated on 4chan. French politician Damien Rieu shared images, too, but later deleted his tweet and apologized.
