According to U.Today, the enigmatic leader of the Shiba Inu team, known under the pseudonym Shytoshi Kusama, has reiterated his decision to keep his identity concealed. In a recent tweet, Kusama responded to ongoing speculation about whether he would ever reveal his face to the public. The tweet included a video excerpt from an interview Kusama and SHIB developer Kaal Dhairya gave to 'Arabian Business' magazine earlier this year, following their attendance at major blockchain events in Japan and India.
In the interview, Kusama addressed the question of revealing his face, stating that it is “not a goal” he has. He cited the mysterious founder of SHIB, Ryoshi, saying, “I’m nothing special,” and expressed that he does not believe his face should “become a public figure.” Kusama emphasized his preference for maintaining anonymity, adding, “let the mask remain famous.” He highlighted the strength of the Shiba Inu community, attributing SHIB's success to the community rather than to himself or Kaal Dhairya. Kusama's tweet further underscored his reluctance to reveal his true identity, stating, “Well there you have it…”
In related news, the official social media marketing lead of the SHIB team, known as Lucie, addressed the Shiba Inu community with an important message. Lucie urged SHIB army members with large followings to adhere to a code of ethics when discussing Shiba Inu with their subscribers. She encouraged them to educate rather than aggressively promote, to “be different,” “be kind,” “be responsible,” and “have morals and boundaries.” Lucie stressed the need for heroes in the crypto space, noting that many are acting like villains, leading to widespread skepticism and claims that “everything is a scam.” Her message called for a more ethical and responsible approach to community engagement.
