- Shytoshi Kusama’s silence raises concerns in the SHIB community, but the ecosystem continues to expand with new developments.
- SHIB marketing lead Lucie believes Kusama is working globally, and his return will bring significant updates to the community.
Shytoshi Kusama, the enigmatic leader of the Shiba Inu (SHIB), has remained silent on social media platforms for several weeks, leaving the SHIB community uncertain. His absence has led to widespread speculation and concern among the SHIB community, which is eagerly awaiting updates from the leader.
Kusama’s quietude has led to increasing questions about his whereabouts, leaving many to wonder whether he is still active behind the scenes or if there are other reasons for his silence.
Shytoshi Kusama, known for his major role in Shiba Inu’s growth and development, has built a strong following due to his charismatic and often mysterious social media presence. However, since his last post on February 21, where he supported new liquidity pools on the Shiba Inu network, his engagement on social media has abruptly stopped.
As reported by ETHNews, his account has been silent since, with the last activity being resharing other SHIB-related tweets until March 7. The lack of communication has confused the community, which is used to his regular updates and leadership and is worried about his absence.
The SHIB ecosystem has continued to expand during this period, with new technological developments and projects being rolled out, but Kusama’s silence has left many wondering whether there is a deeper reason behind his disappearance from the spotlight.
The SHIB Team Responds to Growing Concerns
To address the growing concerns within the community, the SHIB team has taken to social media to respond to the questions surrounding Kusama’s absence.

Lucie’s Input on Kusama’s Absence
In a tweet, Lucie, the SHIB marketing lead, addressed similar concerns on March 13, offering her perspective on Kusama’s silence. She believed Kusama was simply following through on plans he had already announced.
