>I am only certain of one thing when it comes to bitcoin, the creator(s) are not Japanese.

According to the original Newsweek article, Dorian S. Nakamoto is not Japanese, but Japanese-American. He has lived in the US since age 10.

But actually, what makes you say the creator of Bitcoin ("the real Satoshi") is not Japanese?

I still claim that Satoshi Nakamoto is the NSA. Clearly this was one of their fall guys. Terrible people, the NSA, setting up innocent bystanders as scapegoats.
What is your story for the thought processes/internal processes at NSA that would have led to the creation of Bitcoin by them? I'm genuinely curious because it seems pretty out of character for an organization whose task is to protect the established elite to go out of their way to create something extremely creative that could endanger the established elite.

The plausibility depends a lot on the competence you anticipate from such processes. But such contradicting signals of competence are pretty typical of large organizations, especially ones that are silo-ed to some degree.
