Shiba Inu's lead ambassador Shytoshi Kusama has returned to social media after weeks of limited activity. The prominent figure announced plans for an extended discussion this Sunday, describing it as "ultra important" for the community.
The announcement comes after a challenging period for the Shiba Inu ecosystem. Kusama's recent activity marks his first substantial engagement on X since early December.
Difficult Period for Shiba Inu
The final months of 2025 tested the Shiba Inu project significantly. September brought the Shibarium hack, which resulted in financial losses for several users. The incident triggered widespread concern within the community.
Questions about the project's direction dominated discussions. Community members sought clarity on recovery plans and future security measures. Kusama briefly addressed speculation about his involvement during this time. He confirmed his continued work alongside the development team.
The lead ambassador maintained minimal public presence throughout this period. His silence sparked questions from community members accustomed to regular updates. Previous statements from Kusama emphasized his preference for speaking when circumstances warranted meaningful communication.
Community Calls for Transparency
X user Ruggrat publicly addressed Kusama's absence in a recent post. The message called for increased transparency and regular communication with the Shiba Inu community. Ruggrat referenced the recent challenges facing the ecosystem.
The user stressed the need for steady leadership during difficult times. "In moments like this, even a few grounded words of leadership matter so much: clarity, encouragement, accountability, a calm path forward," Ruggrat wrote.
Kusama responded with a cryptic message about strategy. "Sometimes silence is a weapon for quiet war," he stated. He directed attention toward Sunday as a significant date for the community.
His response included an analogy about addressing issues methodically. "One bandage. Take off. Fix. Put on. One at a time," Kusama added. The statement suggested a systematic approach to resolving current challenges.
