Mysterious SHIB Founder Ryoshi's Message Suddenly Surfaces After 4 Years

A recent X post from a SHIB-linked account has cited one of the messages Ryoshi sent to the SHIB community in his blog, a year before disappearing from public view.

The “Shibarium/BONE Updates” X account (@Shibizens) has published an image of a young man who looks like a prince/another young nobleman from Japan as if taken from old-school video games.

This image is accompanied by a Ryoshi message, in which the mysterious SHIB creator shows his humble attitude toward his brainchild: “I am nobody. I have said from the beginning, I am a nobody, I am not important.”

On May 30, the pseudonymous SHIB founder Ryoshi deleted all his posts on Twitter and other social media platforms, as well as his personal blog posts on Medium, where he warned that he would disappear one day, similar to the Bitcoin creator, Satoshi Nakamoto. His departure did not have any significant impact on the SHIB price, which dropped as little as 6% on that day.

Since then, the project has been led by another pseudonymous SHIB enthusiast and investor, known as Shytoshi Kusama. These days, the community still remembers and honors Ryoshi, citing his messages on social media from time to time.

On Oct. 28, the second-largest meme cryptocurrency, SHIB, reached an all-time high of $0.00008845. Currently, it is changing hands at $0.00001346, which is 84.77% down from that historic peak.
