He just retweeted some photos someone had.
Ok, wasn't aware that he has an English and a Japanese account.

When you put it that way, maybe this head transplant/separation madness really is Konami viral marketing for

I KNEW IT!
If it isn't a vital marketing thing, then I can't see any court case going anywhere. Konami will have the usual 'any resemblance to real people blah blah' small print in their game, and they can show that the character is based on an actor,mint created from scratch.
All this noise from GAF etc is just highlighting the coincidence, it wouldn't mean anything if it went to court - entirely circumstantial.

Not gonna lie, I'm morbidly curious how it will end, if it's really true.

What an age to live in, where loud musings from a very vocal minority can reach the media distort reality.

This perfectly sums it up.
"MGS fans: an army of headless dudes marching without thinking"
Just drop it guys.
Canavero is a real and renowed, neurosurgeon.
The doctor was modeled after an actor who happens to look somewhat like him.
That's it, the rest is just coincidence.
Even though "coincidences don't exist", like Jack Bauer said...
...wait
looks like promotion materialKojima just tweeted this !

Occam's razor, bro. Much easier to believe that the doc is just talking out his ass about all that head transplant bullshit instead of trying to fit it in to some cog in a insane MGS conspiracy.

Welp. BusinessInsider is huge. Things are beyond fucked at this point. gg gaf
Yeah ok this I can actually see hurting his "character" even more than the whole head transplant thing... ok Konami is finished
That's just like your opinion man
Kojima just shot himself in the foot.
I don't know how much the rest of you know about Internet conspiracy culture (I'm an expert), but truthfulness and integrity are huge parts of it. It's not like it is on Fox News where you can become successful by playing people like a damn fiddle. If you screw someone over on the Internet, you bring shame to yourself, and the only way to get rid of that shame is repentance.
What this means is the Internet public, after hearing about this, is not going to want to purchase MGS5 for any system, nor will they purchase any of Kojima's games. This is HUGE. You can laugh all you want, but Kojima has alienated an entire market with this move.
Kojima, publicly apologize and pay Canavero 4-5mx60€ compensation or you can kiss your business goodbye.
yes I guess, the doctor mentions it in the Kotaku interview

Yo, WTF!?
Businessinsider joining in too!? I mean, i can understand if the article titled "craziest video game conspiracy", but this is really bad for Dr. Canavero.
There's definitely going to be some sort of settlement.
Holy shit, GAF.
Metal Gear GAF is so poisonous it infected BusinessInsider. Holy shit, I'm almost proud.
This sounds like a sentence out of a Metal Gear intro.
Amazing.
