There is. You can easily find by googling "hector martin" "asahi lina" and you will soon find a pile of obsessively archived evidence.
My view, now that Hector has resigned from the LKML both as himself and as Lina, is there is no problem any more. If Hector wants to project a persona, or decide his identity is the persona, or maybe multiple personas, that is fine on social media. People do that. So long as he's not sockpuppeting Linux kernel maintenance, it's fine.
It all depends on the value each and every person brings. Otherwise, I'd rather chose to work with a normal colleague rather than with someone who can't keep his obsessive schizophrenia out of work process. I guess this should be the baseline.
Instead of prompting me to "do my own research" (spoiler: The 'evidence' is lacking and is mostly tedious speculation) you could provide something more compelling

Hector does active work to try and prevent being associated to his Lina persona, mainly by continuing his vendetta against former associate and co-creator of the Lina character, Luna the Foxgirl.
