Kojima he wrote:

Today I met up with Junji Ito, who I hadn’t seen since the pandemic for the first time in 4 years, and I rewatched the film “Uzumaki” that I saw 24 years ago in the cinema, on the North American comic (since the Japanese version is only available on DVD). I remember seeing it in Shibuya and it was a double feature with “Tomie”, as I remember. Tonight in my warehouse, I dug up the manga “Uzumaki” and reread it.

Both creators are good friends, with Ito to appear in Death Stranding like a character giving quests to players.
