Well, the given name is Kinoko, isn't it? And personally I had an impression that names ending with -ko are mostly female.
Well, technically, every japanese name ending with -KO, -E or -MI are female. It depends on the kanji, actually.
Not necessarily, but it does depend on the kanji used for the name. For instance, names ending with --
HIKO are definitely male, not female, even though the ending is --KO. A good example is voice actor
Seki Toshihiko.
And actually I knew Kinoko = Mushroom. But I guess because I thought it kinda odd (and cute for a name, imagine your mom naming you mushroom XD) I immediately assumed Kinoko was a female.
But then again, it could as easily have been a pen name he used for writing novels. I don't know much about Nasu Kinoko to begin with
