I was anonymous then, and anonymous now
Ryoshi is publicly known only as the pseudonymous creator of SHIB, while the actual identity remains unresolved.
I never asked to be central
My public posture was that I was unimportant and replaceable, and that the work mattered more than the person.
I disappeared as promised
In 2022, the public blogs and social traces were deleted, matching earlier statements that one day I would be gone without notice.
The community carried the flame
Shiba kept moving after my exit, which is the strongest proof that the original structure belonged to the people and not the founder.
