Karen Hojo was a news reporter who was active in the 2000s.
The day after the end of the Big Shell Incident in 2009, Karen Hojo reported on the aftermath of the Arsenal Gear crash in Manhattan, more specifically on the Statue of Liberty's relocation from Liberty Island to Ellis Island. She also inquired if Lady Liberty would finally get her green card.[1]
Behind the scenes
Karen Hojo is a character who was cut from the final version of Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty due to the actual Arsenal Gear crash sequence being cut a few months before release because of 9/11. Her name and character was derived from a character from another game series made by Metal Gear series creator Hideo Kojima, Policenauts, although like Meryl Silverburgh, they are not intended to be the same character. Although cut in the final version, she was still included in the script for the game included in The Document of Metal Gear Solid 2. Her line about the Statue of Liberty getting her green card was intended to be a question as to whether the audience deserves free will, and the overall scene was meant to be a humorous reference to how the Statue of Liberty took over a century to get to the American immigration registration area since it arrived.[1]
Hojo was included in IDW's official comic book adaptation for Metal Gear Solid 2, which was later adapted into Metal Gear Solid 2: Bande Dessinée, a digital graphic novel version for the PlayStation Portable (Japan) and PlayStation 3 (worldwide). She is voiced by Kim Mai Guest in the English version and Kikuko Inoue in the Japanese version.
