Snakes have an image of being wiggly, and to that I added Solid, which has the image of being hard. For me, it comes from Solid State Survivor, a song by YMO [Yellow Magic Orchestra]. Snake, having a soft and wiggly image, and Solid being the opposite. I wanted to put those two contradicting words together to create contrast, and that’s how Solid Snake was born.
