Johnny Sasaki is a recurring comic relief character who first appears as an enemy guard in Metal Gear Solid, whose uniform is stolen by Meryl, and again later in the game whilst Snake is being held in between torture sessions with Revolver Ocelot, while suffering from a cold and diarrhea.
The character was named after the game's character model designer, Hideki Sasaki. According to the developers' commentary in Metal Gear Solid: Integral, Hideki was known among the staff for his slackoff behavior and the character was included in the game as an in-joke. His name is never mentioned by characters in the game and simply appears in the closing credits.
