The mysterious SHIB lead Shytoshi Kusama has published two tweets, spreading intrigue among the Shiba Inu army as he talked about the important upcoming event in Kyoto, Japan – IVS2024. This is the largest startup conference in Japan. Kusama stressed that he feels excitement about this approaching conference.

One tweet published by Kusama written in capital letters says “EXCITED” as he quoted a tweet about the approaching IVS2024 event. In the second one, Shytoshi Kusama made a curious statement, in which he promised to “show the world the importance of Web3.”

The notable thing about this tweet, though, is not him talking about the startup conference but Kusama’s phrase in which he hinted that he might actually appear in that event in public – “I’ve been quite shy and quiet these past few years… but it’s time that changes.”
I’ve been quite shy and quiet these past few years… but it’s time that changes, and we show the world the importance of Web3. I very much so look forward to seeing you in Kyoto #shibarmy.
Thank you to the team at @IVS_Official for being awesome and patient. KANPAI!

IVS2024 is to take place in Kyoto between July 4 and July 6. This time the event will be dedicated to how “how Web2, Web3 and AI are shaping the world.”
Over the past few years, Kusama has a couple of times tweeted that he intends to reveal his real identity after using a pseudonym. Shytoshi said he had talked about that to his mentor and the latter recommended him to take the mask off. However, so far, Kusama has remained under the pseudonym.
Kusama’s location changes surprise the community
Earlier this week, the SHIB army noticed that the enigmatic Shiba Inu lead had suddenly changed his X location, setting “the UK.” That was soon changed for France, Nice. That took only one day to change for Kyoto, Japan today.
Thus, Shytoshi has crossed the world overnight. However, if his current X location can be clearly explained, the two previous ones raised curiosity among the SHIB army. At the start of the year, the lead SHIB developer also demonstrated a rapid and frequent changes in his X geo location marks as he rapidly moved from one country and city to another. Kusama was spotted in several large US cities, in Singapore and Dubai.
Later, however, Kusama explained that he had been travelling to pitch the SHIB team’s plan for a new development to major investors. That resulted in raising $12 million for developing the layer-3 solution for the Shiba Inu ecosystem.
