Not only in Japan
Kiyomasa has also been covered by Taiwanese media, showing that attention is spreading overseas too.
Imagine being born as the son of a legend.
For years, Kiyomasa was not seen as “Kiyomasa.” He was seen only as the son of Shabani, Japan’s legendary handsome gorilla.
But he kept growing. Quietly. Slowly. And now people are finally looking at him differently.
Kiyomasa is based on a real gorilla from Higashiyama Zoo in Japan. A real character gives the meme a story people can actually follow.
Japanese TV, zoo visitors, viral moments, and overseas attention are slowly changing how people see him. Not only as Shabani’s son — but as Kiyomasa.
The token was abandoned by the original dev and left behind again by the first CTO. The community came back to rebuild it for real.
No empty title. No fake takeover. This is the real CTO — a comeback meme built around a real Japanese underdog.
Kiyomasa is not just another ticker. The goal is to turn online attention into a lasting story connected to the real Kiyomasa in Japan.
If the project grows, one goal is to support Higashiyama Zoo and get Kiyomasa’s community recognized on the supporter board.
Spread Kiyomasa beyond Japan and turn him into a meme people around the world recognize.
Kiyomasa is about more than price. It’s about a community that shows up, creates, and supports together.
Turn online energy into real-world support, while keeping the meme connected to Kiyomasa’s actual story.
