Shiba Inu (SHIB)'s core developer criticized the omission of founder Ryoshi's traces from the official website, calling it an attempt to erase history.
According to virtual asset specialized media Benzinga on April 23 (local time), Shytoshi Kusama, Shiba Inu's core developer, expressed strong dissatisfaction with the founder's omission during a recent website update. Kusama emphasized on X (formerly Twitter), referring to Ryoshi, the origin of Shiba Inu, "We will not tolerate any attempts to erase our history." The controversy began when the phrase identifying Ryoshi as the founder disappeared from the revamped website.
Ryoshi is an anonymous figure who founded Shiba Inu in 2020 and delegated all authority to the community when he left the virtual asset industry in 2022. Kusama reminded that Ryoshi's vision of decentralization is the root of the current Shiba Inu ecosystem. Kusama added that Ryoshi's philosophy means more than just a name, and preserving it is his responsibility as the lead developer. When controversy arose over whether it was a simple mistake by the website management team or an intentional exclusion, Kusama demanded immediate correction.
The Shiba Inu ecosystem has recently been focusing on the technological advancement of its Layer 2 network, Shibarium, and supply control through Shibburn. Despite these technological achievements, the community is sensitive to the phenomenon of the founder's philosophical foundation being shaken. Kusama's remarks are interpreted as a declaration, both internally and externally, that the cohesion and history of the early community are as important as technological development.
A strong group of supporters, known as Shiba Army, is backing Kusama's firm response and participating in preserving Ryoshi's legacy. Some in the community are voicing that this incident should be an opportunity for Shiba Inu to evolve from a mere meme coin into an institutional asset with a solid history. Kusama encouraged, "Ryoshi is all of us, and his legacy is a beacon that illuminates Shiba Inu's future."
Even in the absence of its founder, Shiba Inu is building an independent ecosystem and forming a mature market structure. This incident is an example of how significant the symbolic spirit of a founder is in a virtual asset project, as much as technology and capital. Investors are monitoring the ecosystem's internal cohesion and the achievement of technological milestones, assessing Shiba Inu's potential for long-term value appreciation.
