On the Nose Character Names

From the brilliant mind that brought you Hot Coldman, Machinegun Kid, and Quiet comes Heartman, Die Hardman, and Sam Porter Bridges. You can probably guess what most of those characters do based upon their names.

It’s safe to say that Kojima has a penchant for less than subtle character names (I’m looking at you Skull Face). Sure, Kojima’s naming scheme has always been a bit odd, but Death Stranding takes it to a new level.

Even the main character isn’t safe. Sam Porter Bridges’ middle and last names tell you everything you need to know about him. He is a transporter who is reconnecting or bridging America.
