The creator of the Konami Code has died 😢

I just saw a couple tweets about it from one of his co-workers:




Which read:
"Hashimoto Kazuhisa, the progenitor of the 'Up up down down left right left right B A' Konami Code, passed away last night. Rest in Peace."

"We never worked together when we were both at Konami, but he was always warm and friendly when we communicated. As someone who joined at the same time as me and who I was only associated with for a short time, news of his death was a little hard to hear. Please keep making games up in Heaven, and thank you for everything."
Hopefully in his next incarnation, he'll input the code and have 29 more chances. Emoji Sweatdrop

But seriously, we could all hope to have such a legacy. ご愁傷様でございます to everyone in his life.

RIP Hashimoto Kazuhisa. He really made history with that code for sure.
