Shiba Inu lead ambassador Shytoshi Kusama alleged on Wednesday an attempt to erase Ryoshi’s foundational role in building the memecoin ecosystem.
Kusama responded to an X post by “Oscar OG Shiba Inu,” an old community member, who pointed out that SHIB’s official website does not acknowledge Ryoshi and instead says the project had “no founders.”

The official SHIB account said the issue was a minor footer error that was promptly fixed, and thanked the user for pointing it out.
“No one is ‘erasing history’ here. Ryoshi's story is fully documented on the site,” the official account clarified.
As of this writing, the website clearly credits Ryoshi as the founder.
Kusama has steered the SHIB ecosystem ever since the abrupt exit of Ryoshi in 2022. The SHIB creator deleted all their tweets (now X posts) and blog posts on Medium, including the first-ever blog introducing the cryptocurrency titled “All Hail the Shiba.”
Like Ryoshi, Kusama’s identity also remains a mystery. Kusama previously said they too will “step away from the limelight” at some point.
At the time of writing, SHIB was exchanging hands at $0.000006124, down 1.48% in the last 24 hours, according to data from Benzinga Pro. Year-to-date, the memecoin has plummeted 11%.
