Kojima stated that Ishmael is whoever we think he is, which is the same thing he said about Huey during the Peace Walker pre-release interview :Huey was "exactly the person that everyone thinks he is," What if Ishmael = Huey? Not likely. Huey was a cripple, and cannot walk without that lower exoskeleton. Besides, thanks largely to the MGS4 Database, that caused some confusion anyways as while we know he most likely was related to Otacon, the leaked voice acting sheet claimed he was his father, while the Database claimed he was his grandpa.

Besides, he effectively said the same thing about Ocelot and Naked Snake as well. Ahh I see, thank you for clearing that up. Adding to that, I would like to point out again, that Kojima's statement of a certain character being "exactly the person that everyone thinks he is" is the least informative thing to be said, in the way that I can think of Ishmael being Decoy Octopus, someone thinks he is Huey, others, Chico, and so on. So the only purpose for Kojima to say that is to avoid leaking the answer rather than to answer what was being asked.

As to the Ismael speculations, I think the latest informative update on the issue from Kojima dated back to the hospital scene and all the information we have since last year has nothing to do with Ishmael anymore. In the end, without further (and more solid) information, there is little way we can proof our theories no matter how rational it sounds... I guess we just have to leave our speculations as they are for now...
