This was Ayako Terashima, Kojima’s personal assistant; her fans know her as Touchy! Tera­shima said that Kojima wished to show me a new trailer for Death Stranding that he had just edited. He had on thick, round blue plastic glasses; a scruff of beard lent him the nerdy-cool air of the intellectual aesthete. Saito, as he translated for him, revealed a dry sense of humor and a sort of mind-meld with his boss. He translated Kojima’s Japanese into English so quickly that to an unknowing observer, it might have appeared that Kojima was translating him.
