“Kazuhisa Hashimoto: The Genius Behind Contra Code Dies at the Age of 61”
The famous Konami Code programmer, Kazuhisa Hashimoto died at the age of 61. He has developed one of the most popular gaming aspects, Konami Code for worldwide known gaming conglomerate, Konami in 1986. Kazuhisa Hashimoto has developed numerous cheat codes like ↑ ↑ ↓ ↓ ← → ← → B, A, Start, in all of his life, and some of them are still untouched. These game codes are so plentiful that they can easily last for almost 30 years. Konami has proclaimed this news and had told in an interview that all these Codes had been preserved for future distribution and use.

Konami also paid tribute to him by issuing various posts about Kazuhisa’s legacy through their official Twitter account. Alongside, several fellow mates of him had also give regards and condolences to Kazuhisa and his family. The Twitter post of Konami stated that all the members of the Konami family are saddened by this devastating news of the death of their most popular and talented producer. They have also added that he was the prior reason behind introducing of Konami Code to the world. In the end, they mentioned our thoughts and support are with Hashimoto’s family and friends. May God allow his Soul to Rest In Peace.
The Konami Code first came into existence in the year 1986 in the NES port of Gradius. The code is one of the popular attributes of that time as it grants gamers to obtain numerous power-ups that provide ease in accomplishing the game. The primary motive of Kazuhisa Hashimoto was to provide ease to the gamers as he thinks the subsequent game was quite hard to accomplish.
Although, Konami Code doesn’t attain the expected recognition through Gradius. The major one arrives at Konami doors through Contra in the year 1988. Contra was a major success worldwide and is still considered to be one of the best and most famous action-shooting games of all time. Hashimoto was aware of the fact that it is hard to accomplish Contra with the least number of lives that a player could get in one game. So, he introduced once again Konami Code for Contra that grants the players 30 lives.
The popularity of Contra with the venture of Hashimoto has led Konami to another extent. Thus, later various games of Konami arrived in the initial 90s such as Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III alongside the Dance Dance Revolution in 2001. All these games come along with Konami Code, and gamers across the world acclaimed it. Konami Code has spread a revolution in the gaming world, and yet it beckons several other gaming companies towards it. Konami later provides cheat codes to Mario, another popular game in the world alongside they also provide their popular venture to Borderlands 2, Anthem, and BioShock Infinite.
Kazuhisa Hashimoto has mesmerized our entire adolescence through his created cheat venture. Thus, his sudden death had also created despair in the life of numerous gamers globally who have grown playing video games. The father of one of the most popular gaming attribute has now left all of us with a life revving memories and numerous Codes that will last long for multiple decades.
