The '''HIDEO_KOJIMA''' meme originated from [https://www.reddit.com/r/comedyheaven/comments/e5y464/hi_spongebob/ an r/comedyheaven post]. The post showed multiple brand and celebrity Twitter accounts replying to each other, in which [[wp:Hideo Kojima|Hideo Kojima]] finished it off with "Hi Sponge Bob".

This became a running joke in OKBR3 and Irony Hub.{{quote|Hi Sponge Bob|HIDEO_KOJIMA}}

The meme reached a whole new level with the '''HIDEO_KOJIMA user'''.

It started with its Twitter account, where he [https://twitter.com/HIDEO_KOJIMA_IN/status/1273549265948696578 Tweeted out] the famous line "Hi Sponge Bob" on June 18, 2020. Afterward, he started tweeting Hi to various Irony Hub members. This marks the first time Hi Sponge Bob branched out into Hi (anyone).

HIDEO_KOJIMA also joined the Discord, greeting various users sparingly. It is unknown exactly when he joined, as his search history stops at [[August 20 nuke|the nuke]].

A second HIDEO_KOJIMA user, also known as '''Fake HIDEO_KOJIMA''', came along in October 2020. This one greets people much more often than the first user. But it's NOT the OG Hideo!
