History

The developer was formed on April 1, 2005, after Konami merged several of its subsidiaries including Hideo Kojima's team at Konami Computer Entertainment Japan.cite web|url=http://www.gamespot.com/ps2/adventure/mgs3subsistence/news.html?sid=6125580|title=Hideo Kojima Exclusive Q&amp;A|accessdate=2008-03-12|date=2005-05-20]

The company was intended to relieve Kojima of the business management and administrative responsibilities he had previously as KCEJ's vice president. As the head of Kojima Productions, Kojima is able to focus solely on creating games.

The company has recently completed production of "Metal Gear Solid 4"; upcoming projects include "Project 'S'" and "Metal Gear Online".
