Speaking with Aera Dot, Ito and Kojima sat down to talk about their careers in a joint interview.

It seems Kazoo Umezu was a huge influence for Ito during their high school years, and the story"Butterfly Grave" stands out above the rest.
And as for Kojima? It turns out the video game developer found influence with Kobo Abe. The writer's"The Woman in the Dunes" captured the imagination of Kojima years ago. To this day, the story resonates with the artist, so fans of Kojima Productions will want to check out the book ASAP.Art has never existed in a vacuum, and greats have always looked to others for inspiration while crafting their masterpieces.
