Lore 👇
Crypto started on Bitcointalk ~15 years ago. Everyone knows that.
If you search the forum:
• bitcointalk.org/index.php?topi…
❌ Does not exist (Satoshi’s test threads)
• bitcointalk.org/index.php?topi…
✅ Satoshi’s first real post
Now look at the first reply.
The username is BitcoinFX, and the profile picture is from the anime Sunabōzu.
The masked character on the poster? Sunabōzu himself.
“Sunabōzu” (砂ぼうず), meaning Desert Punk, is the main character of the Japanese post-apocalyptic manga/anime by Masatoshi Usune—a mercenary surviving in a future desert world (sounds familiar?).
Behind the mask: Kanta Mizuno.
➡️ This makes Kanta Mizuno the first character ever linked to Bitcoin in history. The first. Ever.
BitcoinFX profile:
bitcointalk.org/index.php?acti…
BitcoinFX returns in 2023:
bitcointalk.org/index.php?topi…
BitcoinFX later introduced a mini-exchange.
Laszlo (yes, 10,000 BTC for pizza Laszlo) requested to be the first user:
bitcointalk.org/index.php?topi…
BitcoinFX - using Kanta Mizuno as his profile picture, is the person who enabled the pizza trade.
“Thanks for the trade BitcoinFX!” – Laszlo
“You’re welcome Laszlo! (delayed response) Hope you enjoyed your pizza.” – BitcoinFX
BitcoinFX was also the first person to give Bitcoin a real-world use case, organizing a poker game using BTC stakes:

The Missed Truth
Everyone missed this.
Nobody tokenized Kanta Mizuno (Sunabozu / Desert Punk)—
even though he was the main character of crypto history all along.
That’s why the ticker is $Sunabozu.
And the token name is Kanta Mizuno.
The image is also used as the cover art for “Sand Mission”, the official theme song by Hideaki Takatori.

Pre-emptive FUD Clarification
Yes, this is the new Bitcointalk forum.
The original Bitcoin forum:
• Had no image uploads
• Is no longer accessible
• Was nearly empty
Proof (SourceForge archive):

Final Historical Proof
Kanta Mizuno 100% the first character linked to crypto to ever exist in history.
• Sunabōzu anime aired 2004 (JP) / 2007 (US)
• First Bitcoin thread: November 2009
Other narratives (Sirius, Bitcoin Bob, “first reply” memes) are provably false.
Some even use images impossible to exist in 2010.
Archive proof BitcoinFX’s PFP never changed:
web.archive.org/web/2014042312…
There will never be another narrative like this.
The first character ever tied to Bitcoin and crypto history is Kanta Mizuno from Sunabōzu.
This debate is over.
It is final.
