Author's Note: It is with deep sadness that Konami Code creator Kazuhisa Hashimoto's obituary was announced yesterday. This comic featuring sad Konami characters was created in memory of the former Konami programmer who created the most iconic cheat code while porting arcade game Gradius to the NES. The Konami Code then had its meteoric rise in the NES version of Contra, where entering the code grants players 30 additional lives. It even made appearances outside Konami's games. Kazuhisa Hashimoto's Konami Code already had a great reputation that when Hashimoto's obituary was first announced, Konami released a statement on their Twitter page.
Farewell, Kazuhisa Hashimoto. May your legacy live on in video game history books and in your creation.
