Well then, that's actually quite a replete amount of work. I'm impressed! He's been working for NTT for more than 40 years, here's an interview with him:

I dunno this all feels like someone mixing up names in a language they don't understand. Satoshi OKAmoto and Satoshi NAKAmoto are way different names. Japanese just happens to have a lot of homophones and there's even multiple different possible meanings for the family names Okamoto and Nakamoto - I've linked the one this specific person has based on his wikipedia page in Japanese [1] [2] [3]. It's also the name of a brand of my favorite condoms that feel like they came from the future, are like one micron thick, and are lubricated with hyaluronic acid if you're wondering how crazy the homophony goes with this one. [4] Reminds me of that time newsweek completely fucked with that random dude in California with the same name as the bitcoin nym for a while.
