The lead SHIB developer, who uses a pseudonym Shytoshi Kusama for posting on social media, and who this week presented himself to the public at a major Web3 event in the Japanese city of Kyoto, has taken to X to announce his next destination for making another public appearance.
Shytoshi Kusama sends ripples across SHIB community
The “meet and greet” made by Kusama in Japan has greatly excited the SHIB army, and they have filled the X social media platform (formerly known as Twitter) with photos and videos of Kusama at the SHIB booth during the annual IVS 2024 conference in Kyoto.
Kusama arrived there with two bodyguards and a local translator who helped him communicate with the Japanese guests of the event. He was dressed in black, wearing two masks and a hood to conceal his real face. He also wore gloves and had a katana behind his back, according to one of the videos on X.

Here's where Kusama goes from Japan
In a tweet published today, Kusama thanked the organizers of IVS 2024 in Kyoto and the SHIB fans who came to meet him in the SHIB booth at the conference. The SHIB leader announced that the next destination for him is Mumbai.
He did not say anything about a “meet and greet” there, though, but the community expects him to do that, also inviting Kusama to other locations — Dubai, California, Delhi and so on.

Shiba Inu has followed Bitcoin, which also rebounded by 4.73%, surging from slightly below $54,000 to the $56,590 zone, where it is trading at the moment. The Bitcoin surge took place after the release of the non-farm payrolls report, which proved to be much more positive than expected initially.
