The enigmatic leader of the Shiba Inu team known under the pseudonym Shytoshi Kusama has published a tweet to respond to all those who have been wondering whether he will ever remove his mask and reveal his true face to the public.

Here’s what Kusama responded to that in a recent interview and now has again confirmed it on his X profile.

Shytoshi Kusama will never reveal his face

Kusama published a tweet in which he once again provided an answer to a question of whether he ever intends to remove his mask and show his face to public audience as many within the SHIB community long him to do.

The video features an extract from an interview given by Kusama and his right-hand SHIB developer Kaal Dhairya to Arabian Business magazine earlier this year after visiting big blockchain events in Japan and India.

Answering a question of whether his face will ever be revealed in public in that video Shytoshi stated that it was “not a goal” he has. Citing the mysterious founder of SHIB, Ryoshi, Kusama said “I’m nothing special” and he does not think that his face should “become a public figure.” Kusama prefers things to remain anonymous the way they are now, adding that “let the mask remain famous”. The SHIB lead underscored the power of the Shiba Inu community, saying that SHIB is strong thanks to them and not due to himself or Kaal Dhairya.

The tweet published by Shytoshi today stresses his reluctance to reveal his true identity and face: “Well there you have it…”

SHIB rep makes encouraging Shiba Inu call to community

In the meantime, the official social media marketing lead of the SHIB team who goes by under the name Lucie addressed the SHIB community with an important message.

Lucie urged those SHIB army members who have a large number of followers to exercise a certain ethic code while talking about Shiba Inu to their subscribers. To educate rather than aggressively shill, to “be different”, “be kind”, “be responsible” and “have morals and boundaries.” Lucie stressed that “crypto needs heroes now more than ever.” Meanwhile, she added that almost everyone in this space is “acting like villains”, making the community react and say that “everything is a scam.”
