Remember when Kojima said: "That guy is me, looking into the world." It make sense because Kojima was a player, and a sculpter of that world. Kojima obviously has played the game.

The finishing blow to this theory is that Kojima showed up to GDC when TPP was revealed WEARING Ishmael's bandages.

It would only make sense, as you could use this character in MGO and the like. Recent gameplay footage showed character customization in action. Why would Kojima be secretive about Ishmael being the player, if he was just going to nonchalantly show off this feature a month before the game's release? Also, Ishmael has Kiefer's voice in the trailers. Are you suggesting we'll have the option to customize voices? I don't see how voice acting can be implemented to represent the player, unless you had the option to record your own dialogue.
