Just googled the etymology of his name and it confirms that a) Satoshi is a japanese name and b)it means 'wise'.

Can anyone confirm that this spelling of Satoshi is correct - it doesn't have a double 'i' at the end? .. Satoshii

Means not a lot to me at this stage....

I think an e-mail distribution is the best bet to hit a lot of people quickly. To make it most effective, we'll need text in Japanese and possibly Mandarin as well as English. Happy to translate into the latter. Any volunteers for the former (KingOfWrong?)?

I might be able to help. What would you like the message to say?

Hi

I am new to Unforum. I thought I have to post my comment after reading this thread.
I am Japanese and I have tried googling "Satoshi" with many different combination of Kanji, but so far no luck.
Also I tried flickr.com, but no interesting result.

I have a full access to Japanese fonts on my computer, so I may be able to help somehow. Please let me know if there is anything I can do to help.

Yeah I guess the best thing would be a simple message asking who this man (satoshi) is and where we can find him. We need to then have contact info (preferably a central contact like the email addy i set up).

One way to do this might be to have a standard email, and get people from the community here to email in. They will receive a reply with the standard email, so they can forward it on from there. (That way we avoid spamming etc.) as people will be sending it to their contacts. This is one approach. I believe the 6 degrees method is the one we're supposed to be using, but then again there's probably things we haven't thought about.

By the way (I don't think it's been said)..it looks to me to be the great wall of china in the background; it's quite blurry though.

Well I propose once we set this up we try getting this on slashdot, with the number of people reading that we should get some help, although there could be the problem with people emailing us with fake reports due to the number of people on here.

Hey, maybe someone has some kind of facial recognition software, and we can run it against things like japanese movie stars, kung fu movie guys ect. Or maybe someone knows an FBI or the british version MI6(Or is it MI5??) to run it against the criminal database, or other supplied picture, because realisticly, we cant send it to someone, and they will say, " Ahh thats Uzamaki Santura!" or whatever.

I think this is a very clever marketing ploy! (call me cynical)

What MC are doing in effect is using the players of the game to advertise Perplex City to (in theory anyway) every single person on Earth...

You have to admire the cunning of it
