How do we know Satoshi is a he?

[nokcha]

Of course we don't know for sure whether Satoshi is really a man, a woman, or a group of people. But for ease of conversation, people use the gender and number of the pseudonym (masculine, singular).

That is an embarrassingly obvious answer, thank you. Someone had told me Satoshi was a made-up name without a clear gender, and I had never bothered to check that fact.

[pluto9]

Because it's a (typically) masculine Japanese name. If the chosen pseudonym was "Steve", would it be unreasonable to assume it's a male?

He put his gender as male on his p2pfoundation profile.
