Even so, In the manga (which I hope you agree was written by Togashi) When Pitou refers to himself he use "Boku" which as I've said is a masculine pronoun.

Spoiler:


Here is the covor for the guidebook where it clearly shows Togashi's name. So unless you have a source proving it was ghost written, I'am going to assume it was written by him.

Yeah I'am starting to lean towards the anime version of Pitou being a female. And I agree Pitou's gender doesn't matter which is why I'am confused why people insist on trying to debate the fact that he's male.

There are two reasons why I'am trying to prove that Pitou's male.

1. It bugs me that people are so willing to defy word of god, and it makes me think I won't be able to have a deep discussion with these people if they can so readily ignore what the author says.

2. This whole "issue" has even affect the wiki, which a lot of new fans will use to get their information from.
