Up-Up-Down-Down-Left-Right-Left-Right B, A, Start.
In the 80s, Konami of America and Japan released many games for the Nintendo Entertainment System. Traditionally, programmers would program in hidden 'cheat codes' to help make gameplay easier, which aided especially during late testing periods before commercial launch.
Konami released many popular games on the NES during this era, such as Gradius, Life Force, and Contra. These titles, as well as many subsequent ones, used the same cheat code listed above. Because of it's reoccurence, it became known as 'The Konami Code', and knowing it by heart is one of the trademark signs of a true, old-school gamer.
A common alteration on this code is:
Up-Up-Down-Down-Left-Right-Left-Right, B, A, SELECT, Start.
Many people mentally add in a 'select' in there for one reason only--on the menu screen, pressing select changed the cursor to '2 players' instead of '1 player'. Contra was always more fun to play with a friend.

konomi • Konomi Shotoku • KONOMICS • konami • Konami Code • Kokomi • kokomizx • kinomi • kokomiilover • kokomiizz
1.)Japanese word literally meaning "small wave".
2.)The name of a videogame company that has been known throughout its history to release high-quality videogames of all kinds of genres and systems. Konami is particularly well-known for such games as:
*Metal Gear
*Zone Of Enders
*Silent Hill
*Castlevania
*Contra
*Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
...among MANY other titles throughout its history, a lot of which happened to be pre-licensed. Konami should not be forgotten for having released a LOT of arcade games during the 80's, including pre-licensed games like The Simpsons & TMNT, both of which were awesome side-scrolling action games. Another arcade-only game, Vendetta, had a character named Hawk, who looked just like Hulk Hogan!
Today Konami continues to be the force behind multiple consoles, including the 128-bit systems and Gameboy Advance. Konami has a lot of cool titles, but their best happens to be Metal Gear Solid, ZOE, Silent Hill, and TMNT (well, this game flopped, but I sure do hope the sequel has much-needed improvements, as good as TMNT is).

Get the Kokomi Sagonomiya mug.Someone who survives on cookies and popsicles. A koomi can have the occasional urge to grind up and eventually consume people who do not obey something the koomi says. Koomis seem to have an attraction to fish and turtles and might keep them as pets. Koomi comes from the latin root "koomikoomi". Koomikoomi has not been known to have been used by any well known famous person, except maybe someone named Leah. Koomis have been know to wear flying shoes.
The boy pointed to the girl buying a fish/turtle/meat grinder/cookie/popsicle hybrid wearing shoes with wings, and asked the tree (as this boy's best friend was actually a tree), "Is that a koomi?"
The tree responded, "Yes. If you couldn't notice that, then you need to read the urbandictionary definition again."
The tree responded, "Yes. If you couldn't notice that, then you need to read the urbandictionary definition again."
