Konami Man is a hidden item in the Castlevania series. He's worth 5,000 points.
Background
Konami Man is the main protagonist from the crossover game Konami Wai Wai World, where he's able to rescue Simon Belmont and several other Konami mascot characters, and obtain their help in return. His female counterpart is Konami Lady.
He appears as a special bonus collectible in many Castlevania games and makes frequent cameos in several titles from other Konami franchises, such as Ganbare Goemon, Parodius, and the rest of the Wai Wai series.
Game specific information
Castlevania: Symphony of the Night
Konami Man appears as a random icon for a saved game on the memory card manager.
Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow
In the Cursed Clock Tower there's a room that has a platform with a Tanjelly on it and surrounded with spikes, except for a small section near the top, accessible by flying in bat form. By crouching in that spot for a moment, Konami Man will suddenly appear flying across the screen for the player to collect.
Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin
Obtained after beating Hard Mode (best ending) with a Level Cap of 1. Gives a permanent STR +50 boost (no need to actually use the item).
Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia
In Minera Prison Island there's a vertical room containing a hidden Konami Man. The room is located on the right side of the map, just one room left of the Save Point. The item is hidden inside the right ledge, just above the entrance to the Save Point; to break it, use Magnes on the metal ring nearby and hit the ledge with a long enough weapon while suspended in midair.
Castlevania: Harmony of Despair
In Come Sweet Hour of Death (Chapter 6), right before fighting Dracula, at the beginning of the stairs jump to the ledge above the door. Now climb up until you can't go higher. Once at the highest point press ↑ once and Konami Man will appear flying across the screen.

Notes
- Same as with other hidden items, even though Konami Man's description mentions it to be worth 5,000 points, it cannot be sold in order to obtain that amount in Gold, nor does it add a bonus to any stat (other than the fixed STR +50 bonus it provides in Portrait of Ruin).

Trivia
- The description stating this item is worth 5,000 points in some games may be a throwback to some older Konami titles where mascots from their other franchises appeared as hidden items; specifically from the Famicom game The Goonies, where they were worth precisely that amount.
