Itsuki Sugimoto is an actor who appeared in "The Hawkening: Look Who's Hawking Now!"
He appears in the middle of Kojima’s movie Hawk & Chick Vs. Cephalopod Monster, where he’s putting on an acting clinic, which was all anyone on set talked about after filming wrapped, and a jealous Kojima used his influence in the studio to remove the scene (although decades later it would be restored for a special home release). It’s been revealed that he does local theatre, teaches acting and spends time with his grandchildren.
