Hideo Kojima is set to reprise his cameo role in Netflix’s anime series Cyberpunk: Edgerunners Season 2. Multiple outlets report that the creator will appear as Hideyoshi Oshima, a character previously seen in Cyberpunk 2077. The show’s official social media channels are cited as confirming the cameo for the new set of episodes.
In Cyberpunk 2077, Oshima is a braindance producer from Tokyo who works on brain-dance experiences meant to be emotionally impactful. Outlets also describe that Kojima-modeled Oshima appears during the “Heist” mission at Konpeki Plaza, and that the character has additional in-game references, including a Bridge Baby Pod Easter egg linked to Death Stranding. For Edgerunners Season 2, coverage focuses on Kojima returning to the same Night City universe in a similar role.
The reports also note the broader context of Kojima’s current projects beyond Cyberpunk, while emphasizing that Edgerunners Season 2 launches on October 20, 2026, with a reported 10-episode block featuring a new main cast.
