Forums - Gaming - Prediction: Hideo Kojima speaks perfect, fluent English. Agree?

No, ive heard him speak english and even as a non native english speaker myself i can tell that his english is really bad... thats why he uses a translator

He seems to do okay if he's calm and prepared, but if he gets flustered... ouch. His appearance at the 2011 VGAs was painful to watch. I felt so bad for him.

Let's just say he's no Tak Fujii.

I actually believe that his "translator" is him and the guy who we think is Hideo Kojima is just a decoy.


Now that would be one hell of a twist!

Ofc he has the capacity to learn English, that goes without saying, but maybe he doesn't want to?


Maybe he has :O



Many foreign 'stars' use English translators even when they speak English very well.

Just look at Ichiro.

So it's certainly a possibility that Kojima can speak English.

That wouldn't really be provable though. Even if he did come out and speak perfect fluent English one day, that could just be because he learnt more and practiced it a lot and improved over time rather than because he was that good all along.


Thats my point though, he's probably been practicing for the day to shock us across these many years, including those which he used a translator, but he might have been better than he was before
