According to Hideo Kojima, Gray Fox and not Raiden would have been the main character for the game if he was in charge of the game's development and not just on its production.
Ended up deferring the actual choice to the rest of the team who favored Raiden for the game.

“In my personal opinion, I wanted to go for Frank Jaegar or Gray Fox,” Kojima told IGN Middle East. “But if we had gone with that, I would have had to write the script and then be really committed to creating the game. I want to pass game development to the younger generation in my team, and have been trying to do so for quite some time.”
