Ahead of its premiere on October 20, CD Projekt Red announced that Hideo Kojima will cameo in Cyberpunk: Edgerunners 2. He will play the same character he played in Cyberpunk 2077: Hideyoshi Oshima
Recently, in his KOJI10 podcast, Hideo Kojima announced that he will have cameos in an upcoming live-action film, two anime, and a game. Specifically, he noted that he will be in a big upcoming live-action film, two anime in which he will have several lines of dialogue, and a game. We now know that one of the two anime he will appear in will be Cyberpunk: Edgerunners 2. The announcement comes almost a year after he cameoed in the Japanese version of Zootopia 2 as the character of Paul Moldebrandt.
Check out the announcement post, featuring a glimpse at Kojima’s character in Cyberpunk: Edgerunners 2 below:
Here’s the cast of the anime series, via Netflix:
- Clancy Brown/Kentaro Tone as Weak
- “Once known as “King,” a veteran edgerunner at the top of his game, Weak now lives in the shadow of his former glory.”
- Nazeeh Tarsha/Koki Uchiyama as D
- “A Snake Nation netrunner with sharp technical skills and a sharper hunger for revenge, D hunts the killer who wiped out his clan.”
- Kimoy Lee/Akari Kito as Talia
- “Raised in corpo towers but hardened in Maelstrom’s grip, Talia is fiercely independent and steeped in the gang’s hyper-violent, chrome-obsessed culture.”
- Valeria Rodriguez/Momoka Terasawa as Roman Carax
- “Roman Carax is a young cinephile chasing real stories in a city that’s abandoned film for braindance. Obsessed with documenting truth, he shadows the lives of others — only to learn that unlike his favorite reels, Night City’s stories are messy, brutal, and rarely tied up with a clean ending.”
Cyberpunk: Edgerunners 2 will premiere on Netflix on October 20.
