Satoshi isn't a person, he is an idea.

Satoshi isn't a person, he is an idea.

I think so, too. Satoshi is rathermore a group of developers than a single person.

Satoshi is a very cool dude...probably some mad genius.   I like how he is secret and more legendary as a result.

From https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Satoshi_Nakamoto

Quote
Investigations into the real identity of Satoshi Nakamoto have been attempted by The New Yorker and Fast Company. The New Yorker arrived at Michael Clear, a young graduate student in cryptography at Trinity College in Dublin, who was named the top computer-science undergraduate at Trinity in 2008. The next year, he was hired by Allied Irish Banks to improve its currency-trading software, and he co-authored an academic paper on peer-to-peer technology.[1]

Fast Company's investigation brought up circumstantial evidence that indicated a link between an encryption patent application filed by Neal King, Vladimir Oksman and Charles Bry on 15 August 2008, and the bitcoin.org domain name which was registered 72 hours later. The patent application contained networking and encryption technologies similar to Bitcoin's. After textual analysis, the phrase "...computationally impractical to reverse" was found in both the patent application and bitcoin's whitepaper.[2] All three inventors explicitly denied being Satoshi Nakamoto.[3][4]

i think an invented name like a working title from those coders who invented the BTC and now will be chased by the ECB.

I am pretty sure that Satoshi was either from the future like PP mentioned or is L from Death Note.
