Koji Kondo’s birth chart
Born 28 April 1972, in Kariya, Japan. StarMap has no verified birth time yet.
Taurus Sun · Moon in Libra or Scorpio
Koji Kondo’s zodiac sign and chart, in brief
28 April 1972 was a Friday: the day Koji Kondo was born in Kariya, Japan. That made Koji a Taurus. The Moon left Libra for Scorpio at about 04:55 local time, which leaves the Moon sign open without a birth time. Koji died on 17 April 2003, aged 30. StarMap has no verified birth time for Koji, so the chart is cast for midday and leaves the houses out.
By element the count is four air, three earth, two fire and no water, leaving out the Moon, whose sign depends on the birth time. Mutable signs hold five, cardinal signs three and fixed signs one. Venus, Mars and Saturn all fall in Gemini. Closest of the aspects is the trine between Sun and Jupiter, about 0.4° from exact at midday. Aspects to the Moon are not counted, because the Moon moves about thirteen degrees in a day. Four planets were retrograde: Jupiter, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto. The Moon was full.
StarMap's dataset holds 17 other people born on 28 April, among them Penélope Cruz, Jessica Alba and Harper Lee.

Koji Kondo’s Sun, Moon and rising sign
Sun sign
Taurus
about 7° Taurus at midday
A Taurus Sun builds. Comfort, steadiness and things that last probably matter more to Koji Kondo than novelty, and people tend to trust someone who does not change their mind for show. The growth edge is letting go before something stops working.
Moon sign
Libra or Scorpio
Libra until about 04:55, then Scorpio (local time). Which one depends on a birth time StarMap does not have.
Born before about 04:55: Moon in Libra
A Libra Moon feels through relationship. Harmony nearby tends to settle Koji, and conflict, even other people's, can unsettle them. What restores this Moon is beauty, fairness, and one person who truly listens.
Born after about 04:55: Moon in Scorpio
The Moon in Scorpio feels everything and shows little. For Koji that suggests trust that is slow, private and absolute; betrayal, once it happens, is not forgotten. This Moon is restored by intimacy without performance and by time alone to let things move.
Rising sign
The rising sign changes about every two hours, so it cannot be known without a birth time. The table below shows which sign was rising over Kariya, Japan, at each hour of the day.
Koji Kondo’s rising sign, by birth time
StarMap has not verified a birth time for Koji yet. It shows a birth time only when Astro-Databank rates it AA, A or B on the Rodden scale (AA from a birth certificate or record, A from the person, someone close to them or a news report, B from a biography). Until then, this is the rising sign for every possible time of birth on 28 April 1972, computed for Kariya, Japan.

Koji Kondo’s planets, sign by sign
Each planet by sign: what the placement is traditionally taken to mean, not a claim about Koji Kondo’s private life.
A Taurus Sun finds purpose in building something that lasts, and Koji Kondo's vitality probably runs slow and steady rather than in bursts. The drawback is a reluctance to change course even when the plan is clearly not working. People with this Sun can stay in one job or one home long after part of them knows it is time to move.
Moon in Libra or Scorpio
Libra until about 04:55, then Scorpio
needs and habits
Born before about 04:55: Moon in Libra
A Libra Moon needs harmony in the immediate surroundings to feel settled day to day, and a tense conversation nearby can throw off Koji's whole afternoon. Comfort comes from pleasant company and pleasant spaces. The habit to watch is smoothing things over before they have worked out what they want.
Born after about 04:55: Moon in Scorpio
For Koji, the Moon in Scorpio means emotional needs that run deep and private, and a preference for managing a hard feeling alone over explaining it while it is still raw. Trust builds slowly and is rarely given back once broken. Even among the people closest to them, this Moon is likely to need real privacy.
Mercury in Aries suggests that Koji thinks in quick, decisive strokes and says what they mean without much preamble. Sometimes the words arrive before the thought is fully formed, which can come across sharper than intended. It is a mind that finishes other people's sentences and prefers a fast decision to a long meeting.
Venus in Gemini loves through conversation, wit and mental connection, and tends to find a dull partner harder to stay with than a challenging one. Koji probably values variety and being kept interested. Attention may wander with this Venus, and that can be treated as more serious than it is. Banter is the natural way to flirt here, more than anything more direct.
With Mars in Gemini, Koji is likely to act through words, argument and quick manoeuvring rather than force, and anger to come out sharp and verbal. Arguments can be won without the conflict underneath ever being resolved. A disagreement can still be under debate long after the other person just wants it to end.
Jupiter in Capricorn
8° Capricorn 18' at midday ℞
growth and excess
Jupiter in Capricorn grows through long-term discipline, and Koji would probably rather build slowly and properly than quickly. The overreach is taking on more responsibility than any one person should reasonably carry. The authority this Jupiter brings is slow and hard-won, the kind people tend to trust more the longer they know someone.
Saturn in Gemini builds discipline around clear expression, and it often begins with doubt about whether an idea is good enough to say out loud. For Koji that would mean overpreparing before speaking or writing anything. Once the self-consciousness eases, the result can be someone unusually precise and credible with words.
Uranus in Libra
15° Libra 22' at midday ℞
freedom, generational
Koji holds Uranus in Libra in common with many people born in the same stretch of years. Together that generation reshapes ideas of partnership, fairness and how relationships are arranged. Its personal side is a readiness to question traditional roles more openly than earlier generations felt able to.
Neptune in Sagittarius
4° Sagittarius 34' at midday ℞
imagination, generational
Neptune in Sagittarius is the dream of a generation: grand systems of belief and utopian journeys. What belongs to Koji in it may be a hopeful conviction that the right philosophy will resolve a practical problem.
Pluto in Virgo
29° Virgo 45' at midday ℞
power, generational
Pluto in Virgo is shared by Koji and many people born in the same span of years. That generation lives through deep change in work, in how services are organised, and in daily life itself. In one person that can be intensity around control, order and how much any one system can carry.
Aspects in Koji Kondo’s chart
How the planets stand to each other, tightest first. Without a birth time the orbs are those at midday, and aspects to the Moon are left out because the Moon moves about thirteen degrees in a day.
Sun trine Jupiter
about 0.4° at midday
With the Sun trine Jupiter, Koji Kondo's sense of self and instinct for growth support each other, which gives them a warm, expansive confidence. They are likely to be quick to see an opening and to make the most of it without forcing anything.
Venus conjunction Mars
about 1.1° at midday
With Venus conjunct Mars, affection and drive are closely linked, so, for Koji, wanting something and going after it are likely to feel like one impulse. The aspect brings plenty of romantic and creative energy; its test is letting the wanting outlast the first chase.
Saturn opposition Neptune
about 1.2° at midday
Grounded, practical planning sits opposite a tendency towards doubt, or disillusionment about whether the effort is worth it, and Koji is likely to know both. Checking in with the original inspiration, and not only with the workload, tends to restore the balance.
Mercury square Jupiter
about 2.7° at midday
Thinking can run ahead of the evidence when Mercury is square Jupiter, leading to overconfident claims or promises made faster than Koji can check them. Matching enthusiasm to what has been verified makes their confidence more durable, not less.
Mercury opposition Uranus
about 4.3° at midday
With Mercury opposite Uranus, Koji's unconventional ideas meet other people's fixed positions, which can turn a good insight into an unnecessary standoff. Presenting the idea as an option rather than a challenge tends to land better.
Mars trine Uranus
about 5.4° at midday
Koji's drive and originality tend to run together easily, which allows fast, inventive action when a situation calls for something different. Mars trine Uranus can make a bold move look natural, and it is carried off more often than the risk would seem to justify.
The rest, listed without a reading. Those between Uranus, Neptune and Pluto hold for years at a time, so everyone born while one holds shares it.

- Saturn trine Plutoabout 6.0°
- Mercury trine Neptuneabout 6.4°
- Venus trine Uranusabout 6.5°
