Veteran video game producer Tak Fujii has left Konami after 20 years at the Japanese company.
Fujii, best known for his bizarre E3 2010 presentation of Xbox 360 game Ninety-Nine Nights 2, announced his departure from Konami in a tweet.
It's been great 20 years of creation. Thanks for all who supported, loved my titles. Farewell and may the extreeeeemeness be with KONAMI.

@Flameche actually, it's not cancer so I won't die by sick :)
