The 'Hideo Kojima Feet Scans' meme refers to a long-standing internet joke regarding the legendary game director’s perceived fixation on character feet and high-fidelity 3D body scans. The meme gained significant traction during the development of Death Stranding, where Kojima frequently shared behind-the-scenes photos of famous actors like Norman Reedus or Léa Seydoux being meticulously scanned in his studio. Fans began to notice an unusual level of detail applied to characters' feet in-game, leading to humorous accusations of a foot fetish. This template is widely used to parody Kojima's auteur persona, his absolute obsession with technical realism, and the often bizarrely specific details he highlights on his Twitter and Instagram feeds.
