-snip- and it can easily be generated using a tool such as VanitySearch but without the private key, as long as the checksum matches up with the rest of the address.
The example tool; Vanitysearch can actually do that with: ./vanitysearch -stop 1A1***Na command. (with the private key)
And you'll get a result in less than a second too, given that you have a decent hardware; otherwise, within a minute.

guys i want to know if this wallet 1A1YoPiW8CGN3VxwNAv3gM5tEjFSxKj2Na related to satoshi wallet 1A1zP1eP5QGefi2DMPTfTL5SLmv7DivfNa
No, that is why users should check most (if too lazy to check all) of the characters of the address when copy-pasting
Because there are some advanced clipboard-hijacking malware/viruses that can do exactly that by utilizing such "vanity address" generator's code.
