Kusama had announced his arrival in Japan earlier, expressing his intent to discuss Shiba Inu’s plans, vision, and the transition from Web2 to Web3.

I wish to use Web3 to revitalize Japan, especially the countryside! I’m not sure if my awkward English did my thoughts justice, but I was touched by his eagerness to pay attention.”
Moreover, Kusama engaged with other community members at the conference. He participated in a meet-and-greet session at Shiba Inu’s dedicated booth. WeCreate3, a Web3 student community in Japan, shared footage of their brief meeting with Kusama. They revealed plans to collaborate with Shiba Inu in the future. This collaboration signifies young minds’ growing interest and involvement in Web3 technology.
