Shiba Inu Team Leader Shytoshi Kusama Makes Public Appearance at IVS 2024

According to U.Today, the enigmatic leader of the Shiba Inu team, known by the pseudonym Shytoshi Kusama, made a public appearance at the annual Web3 startup event in Japan, IVS 2024. However, his identity remains a mystery as it was seen wearing two masks, making it impossible to see his face. A Japanese SHIB fan shared a video from the event showing a man dressed in dark clothing, two masks and a hood, interacting with IVS 2024 participants at the SHIB booth. The man's outfit resembled a Batman costume, with a mask similar to a plague doctor's mask covering the top of his face, on top of another mask that hid his entire face.

Earlier in the week, Kusama had hinted at her first public appearance at IVS 2024. She invited the SHIB army to her "first meet and greet" via a tweet. Despite her public appearance, Kusama continues to maintain her pseudonym. He has been hiding his real name and appearance since replacing founder Ryoshi in 2021. He revealed that 'Shy' represented his natural desire to avoid the public, 'toshi' was in honor of Bitcoin creator Satoshi Nakamoto, and Kusama was in reference to the Japanese artist Yayoi Kusama, whom he admired.

In the past, Kusama had considered revealing her identity after her mentor suggested it. However, despite promising to give a speech at the ETH Toronto event while presenting Shibarium, he only presented a recording of his speech processed by artificial intelligence software. Following Kusama's public appearance, SHIB price has shown a slight recovery. After a significant 15% drop overnight, the meme coin has recovered 5% of its losses.$SHIB #SHİB
