Wasn't Nem created by Utopionfuture and not Makoto?

The idea was started by UtopianFuture as per this thread - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=422129.msg4592223#msg4592223

I believe Makoto approached the core developers to help towards the project, but based on what I've read, his input was very minimal, and he used it as a vehicle for his own gain.

NEM Core Developers
- Jaguar0625
- BloodyRookie
- Gimre

and Thies.

Makoto might be influencing more on the UI. And driving the logo towards Japanese traditional figures Wink

"NEM was initially developed and introduced in Japan by Makoto Takemiya"
Maybe the point is in the words "in Japan"
