Kojima Productions 'icon' character revealed

"It's not a image of the game which we are working on," Kojima Productions producer Ken-ichiro Imaizumi told GameSpot.

As you can see, the mascot--whose name is Ludens--is wearing an extra-vehicular activity suit. Though this is not an image from Kojima's upcoming game, it's possible it contains thematic references to the title. It could also be possible that Ludens shows up in Kojima's new game, either in an official capacity or as an Easter egg.

and Kojima told Famitsu this:

"When it is announced, you might think, 'That's not outstanding,' but you'll understand when you see it and play it. The genre is action"

FROM FAR OUT OF LEFT FIELD THEORY TIME: "Why is Ludence's head blue?"

This story seems heavily related:
Long ago, beyond the woods, through the forests and the pass, in the deep mountains of Japan, there lived 'Aka-Oni'; a red Ogre, and 'Ao-Oni', a blue Ogre. The red Ogre liked human children very much and he was always thinking about how he could make friends with them everyday.
The Red Ogre wanted to become friends with children in a village nearby. So, the Red Ogre invited the children to come to his house to play.
But no one showed up, and the red ogre grew puzzled, sad, and angry. "I'm such a kind ogre - why would nobody visit me?"
Moved by his friend's feelings, the Blue Ogre said, "Look, I have a plan."
The Blue Ogre's plan was for him to pretend to terrorize children and then have the red ogre chase him off, "rescuing" them from him. The plan went without a hitch, and the red ogre became the most popular creature among the children, and all came to play with him.
After a happy day of enjoying the children's company, the Red Ogre found a letter from the Blue Ogre. The letter said, "My Dear Red Ogre, if people find out that you are a friend of the Bad Blue Ogre's, they will not let the children come to you any more. So, I'm leaving. Please live happily with the children. Goodbye. Blue Ogre."
The Red Ogre cried out, "Blue Ogre is gone! A dear friend of mine! He is gone!" And he wept.
The Red Ogre and the Blue Ogre were never to see each other again.

The helmet looks like a mix of a Roman helmet's curved plume and a medieval knight's helmet and the glass of an astronaut's helmet.
 
looks alright to me, but I dislike the anchoring of his helmet to the shoulders. Maybe it serves a practical purpose, but otherwise the lack of mobility seems odd. I get that astronauts have that, but this guy looks ready for battle.
 
It would be great if this character ties together the universe of all of Kojima games developed in the future. Like a storyteller in one, a villain in another, a legend in another, a NPC, etc.
 
+1 astronauts
-1 for ugly helmet

Overall stuff like this doesn't interest me so I'm not easily excited to begin with when it's "just" some dude instead of gameplay.
