None of that is wrong, but I still wouldn't say the man HIMSELF is as well known compared to his games.

Let me put it this way. I think "A Hideo Kojima Game" does more to promote a game than "From the creator of Metal Gear Solid", but I would say "From the creator of Dark Souls and Elden Ring" would be a better promotion than "A Hidetaki Miyazaki Game".

Sharing the same last name as one of the most internationally well known names in Japanese entertainment doesn't help!

This is all kind of moot though since I think my other points in original post is like 90% of the reason anyways, the YoshiP comment was just thrown in there.
