The character in the Kojima Productions logo is called ‘Ludence’
‘As of today, it’s been 5 months since the establishment of Kojima Productions’, Hideo Kojima posted on Twitter earlier today. The new Kojima Productions was established on December 16th, 2015. So far we have heard very little about the studio, and Kojima is allegedly still in the process of setting up the studio and hiring staff.

Kojima also posted a poll on Twitter asking his followers what kind of outfit they imagine the character in the company’s logo to have. And we learned this figure’s name: Ludence (clearly linked to the ‘Homo Ludens’ slogan of the company).
