Hideo Kojima, director of the Metal Gear franchise and Death Stranding, was presented with not one, but two Guinness World Records on Saturday as part of the Death Stranding promotional tour. Kojima has now officially been recognized as "the most followed game director on Twitter and Instagram."

Besides being known for his work directing the Metal Gear franchise and Death Stranding, Kojima is also a prolific social media user, managing to accrue a Twitter following of about 2.8 million accounts on his English account. On his Instagram, Kojima has a little more than 888,000 followers.

It appears that Guinness is being pretty specific about the "game director" portion of the record, considering Kojima isn't necessarily the most followed general game developer on Twitter. Minecraft creator Markus "Notch" Persson has about 3.7 million Twitter followers. If you combine Kojima's English account (2.8 million) and his Japanese account (811,000), he still comes in just a hair under Notch. That said, Twitter rounds the follower counts after a certain tier, so it's possible the numbers are different than what we can see.
