Shytoshi Kusama, the enigmatic lead developer behind the Shiba Inu cryptocurrency project, has announced a historic first: a community meet and greet event. This unprecedented move marks a turning point for the project and its passionate Shibarmy fanbase.
The announcement, made on July 1st via X (formerly Twitter), revealed the event will take place on July 5th at the IVS official Shiba Inu booth in Kyoto, Japan. Kusama expressed his gratitude to the IVS team for their support in organizing the event, and also shared his personal motivations for stepping into the spotlight.
For a developer who has largely maintained a reserved online presence, the decision to hold a public meet-and-greet signifies a shift. Kusama openly acknowledged his desire to become a more vocal advocate for Web3 technology and the decentralized space, while also expressing his admiration for Japanese culture and his eagerness to experience it firsthand.
The event itself promises to be a platform for open dialogue. Discussions are expected to revolve around Shiba Inu’s future, the intersection of Web2 and Web3 technologies, strategic plans for the project, and the role the community can play in its ongoing evolution.

This meet-and-greet represents a pivotal moment for Shiba Inu. For the first time, community members will have a direct opportunity to engage with Shytoshi Kusama and other key developers. The connections and insights gained at this event have the potential to significantly influence the project’s future direction, paving the way for exciting developments within the Shiba Inu ecosystem.
