Dorian Nakamoto is not the only person referred to when Satoshi Nakamoto is mentioned, but there are about 3 people who have claimed or linked them to Satoshi, but Dorian Nakamoto's picture remains the most famous, although he continues to decline the claim.
The reason for his fame is this press report https://www.newsweek.com/2014/03/14/face-behind-bitcoin-247957.html in which the journalist tried to search for Satoshi through the most people who have common characteristics with Satoshi, where he worked. Dorian is in secret defense projects and his name is Japanese and he has similar economic ideas. You can read the report, which unfortunately contains a picture of his house, which exposed him to a lot of harassment.

It's pretty disgusting that media outlets are still using Dorian's image after causing such an adverse impact on his life. This man was hounded by the media because of the false speculation of who he supposedly was. Practically ruined his life and painted a target on his back. There are plenty of other artistic renditions that could be used to represent satoshi, but they continue to use the wrong person's face against their wishes.

Well, his real name of Dorian Nakamoto, he is one of those that have been previous accused of being Satoshi Nakamoto due to the fact that it is generally believe that Satoshi is a from japanese and Dorian is also a japanese, and those who confirmed it also started that Dorian had the same handwriting or a similar handwriting to that of Satoshi Nakamoto.
For the above reason, he was accused to be the real Satoshi Nakamoto, but then, he later refuted the accusation stating that he is not Satoshi and not related to who ever Satoshi is, that his surname was just a coincidence..
I will update this with the link to his official post where he debunked the believe that he is Satoshi Nakamoto, this is if no one else find it and post before I do ..
EDIT....
So here is the link as promised, in this YouTube video, Dorian clearly said he has nothing to do with Bitcoin and who ever Satoshi Nakamoto is ..please watch and listen - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GrrtA6IoR_E
I also made a post about this here - https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.60435611

He is one of people who was suspected to be Satoshi Nakamoto.
He is a Japanese that fits with a Japanese style name Satoshi Nakamoto but we don't actually know who is / are Satoshi Nakamoto who only used Tor.

I'll probably release Satoshi's PMs and logged IPs addresses in ~8 years. This'd probably be of great historical interest. (Though he always used Tor, as far as I can tell.)
2021 edit: I changed my mind: I am not going to release Satoshi's PMs in 2021. See my post here.

1, 2, and 4 exist in the staff forum. 3 was permanently deleted at some point (it must have contained Satoshi's real name and address).

For quite sometime now I have been curious about this picture as posted above. When ever there is any post online relating to Bitcoin and Satoshi, you see the picture next to the name or topic of discussion. We all know based on what we have heard, that Satoshi Nakamoto is anonymous and till date nobody knows who the real Satoshi looks like or resemble. Quite a long time this image have been on air depicting the real Satoshi which I believe is not real. Possibly there must have been a reason why that picture was used to make reference to Satoshi Nakamoto and since then till now it's been used and I was wondering if the identity of that picture is still alive because he should have long surfaced to clear the doubt surrounding the use of his image whenever Bitcoin is mentioned. I believe if he should be this popular, then he must have made a statement or comment with respect to Bitcoin existence hence his image was taken to always be seen when ever the name Bitcoin is mentioned.
If you are opportuned to have come across any thing relating to the above, maybe video or picture because this is the only picture I basically see too often about him. Please do well to drop the link or the video here so we could see for ourselves as to get proper knowledge and understanding how this picture emanated and the person behind this identity used.
I pray there are members who could be able to give us insight of how this picture came about to be attached to the Satoshi identity.
