Kazuhisa Hashimoto (Konami code creator) has died

[Deleted member 17210]

I've seen some conflicting reporting on this. Other places are saying he was 79. Can anyone confirm?

Age 61 seems more likely based on wiki info. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kazuhisa_Hashimoto
"Hashimoto's age on death has been reported as both 61 and 79. The 2003
Dorimaga interview gives a 1958 birthdate consistent with the age of 61."

Learned about this from Reggie on Twitter. RIP Legend. Your code ushered in secret ways to get more lives in videogames. The konami code works in alot of games other than Contra
