【JP Meme】What is $Yaruo【Ultimate Edition】
Executive Summary
$Yaruo (@YaruoSOL) is a project that tokenizes "Yaruo," a classic meme character representing Japanese internet culture. Yaruo is an author-unknown, collectively-created work that spontaneously emerged on 2channel in 2005, making it an established cultural asset with a 20-year history.
What is particularly noteworthy is that this project was launched by a developer based in France. Interestingly, this location is identical to that of Hiroyuki, the founder of 2channel and 4chan, and there are playful rumors circulating about a "same person theory."
Most importantly, the developer's creative drive far exceeds that of most meme coins, and it is being implemented as concrete products. The well-crafted website, AI-powered AA generator, bulletin board functionality, and above all the Yaruo DAO reward program demonstrate that this project has the structure to continuously expand the worldview of the meme, rather than being merely a speculative asset.

Chapter 1: What is Yaruo? - Its Position in Japanese Internet Culture
1.1 Birth as an Author-Unknown, Collectively-Created Work
$Yaruo (@YaruoSOL) is an ASCII Art (AA) character that spontaneously emerged on 2channel on December 1, 2005. The most important characteristic is that it has no specific author.
Yaruo's AA originated from a close-up representation of the face of Naito Horizon ("（ ＾ω＾）"), a preceding AA character. However, this was not an intentional creation by a specific individual, but rather something that formed spontaneously within the 2channel community through the involvement of multiple users.
1.2 Establishment of Character Setting
Yaruo made its formal debut on July 8, 2006. In the first post of a thread titled "That's Why I Do It on News Speed! Guidelines" posted on 2channel's news board, the character setting was first established.
The setting was: "A character who actually wants to post threads on the News Speed VIP board (where more sophisticated content gathers), but since they are not accepted there, they post on the regular News Speed board instead." This setting satirically expressed the hierarchical structure and exclusion within the internet community, resonating with many users.
1.3 Naming Through Community Vote
At this point, Yaruo was an unnamed character, referred to as "dickhead" and other names. Later, through a community vote in a thread titled "Let's Decide This Guy's Name Already," it was officially named "News Speed Yaruo."
This naming process symbolizes Yaruo's essence. In other words, Yaruo is a character created by the community, for the community. It was not merely an individual's creation, but was born as a shared asset of the entire internet community.
1.4 Universality of a Character with "Annoyingness" and "Pathos"
Yaruo's character setting carries deep social meaning beyond mere comedy. The setting of being rejected on VIP and only being able to act on regular News Speed expresses the universal experience of internet users: "exclusion" and "pathos."
This emotional essence has the potential to resonate with many people regardless of cultural background. The "annoyingness" and "pathos" of Yaruo are emotions universally experienced by internet users.
1.5 Recognition and Popularity in Japan
Yaruo's influence is reflected in the numbers. In a 2009 ranking by NTT Resonant titled "Terms Frequently Seen on the Internet But Whose Meaning is Unknown," Yaruo ranked 4th. This demonstrates that Yaruo was widely recognized among internet users.
Even after nearly 20 years, Yaruo continues to function as an important symbol in Japanese internet culture. Particularly for the generation that experienced 2000s internet culture, Yaruo is an object of nostalgia and affection. This "nostalgia" is an extremely important element in the success of the Yaruo project.
1.6 Cultural Impact
The birth of Yaruo threads as a new creative form was not merely the popularity of a character, but represented the establishment of a new form of creative expression in the internet bulletin board environment. Yaruo threads, which increased explosively from around 2007, functioned as participatory creative culture, providing a foundation for many users to create their own stories.
The maturity of this creative culture led to later commercial success (such as "Goblin Slayer"), proving that Yaruo as an IP had value in a broader market beyond niche communities.
Chapter 2: Yaruo SOL Project - Evolution into the Web3 Era
3.1 Project Overview
Yaruo is a project that began in January 2026 on X (formerly Twitter) under the account @YaruoSOL. This project represents an attempt to adapt a classic Japanese internet meme to the Web3 and cryptocurrency era.
Basic Project Information:
•Token Name: Yaruo (やる夫)
•Ticker Symbol: $YARUO
•Blockchain: Solana (SOL)
•Token Address: 9pgx8fuYwG4wFFrcPAhJquSEenvDCCbbnqQ9RzVgpump
•Project Launch: January 2026
•Current Phase: Community Formation and Awareness Expansion Phase
3.2 Development Background and Interesting Context
The Yaruo project was launched by a developer based in France. What is particularly noteworthy is that this location is identical to that of Hiroyuki, the founder of 2channel and 4chan. This fact has led to playful rumors of a "same person theory" circulating online.
This background information is important for several reasons. First, 2channel is the birthplace of Yaruo, and 4chan is the center of Western meme culture. In other words, the project developer is positioned in an environment deeply connected to both Eastern and Western internet cultures. Second, Hiroyuki is an extremely important figure in the history of Japanese internet culture. The fact that his location matches that of the project developer suggests the possibility of intentional design behind the project.
However, this is merely speculation, and there is no official confirmation. Traders should reference this information while independently evaluating the project's substantive value.
Chapter 3: Developer's Creative Drive and Implemented Products - Decisive Differences from Other Meme Coins
4.1 Well-Crafted Website and Continuous Updates
https://yaruocoin.xyz/
The most prominent characteristic of the Yaruo project is that the developer's creative drive far exceeds that of most meme coins, and it is being implemented as concrete products.
The project's website is designed not merely as an information page, but as a platform for experiencing meme culture. Updates are ongoing, with new features continuously being added. This is extremely unusual among meme coin projects, which typically abandon development after token issuance.
4.2 AI-Powered AA Generator
One of the unique features implemented on the website is the AI-powered AA Generator. This is a tool that automatically generates ASCII Art format content when users input text.
The importance of this tool lies in several points. First, it dramatically lowers the barrier to entry for ASCII Art culture. Traditionally, creating AA required special skills and knowledge, but the AI generator allows anyone to easily create AA. Second, it democratizes the creation of Yaruo-related memes. This enables more users to create Yaruo-related content. Third, it gives the project value as a creative tool, not merely as a speculative asset.
4.3 Bulletin Board Functionality
Another unique feature implemented on the website is the bulletin board functionality. This functions as a Yaruo community-exclusive bulletin board while inheriting the traditions of 2channel.
The importance of the bulletin board lies in several points. First, it provides a central hub for the community. Rather than relying on X or other platforms, a project-exclusive bulletin board strengthens community cohesion. Second, it continues the Yaruo thread culture. The bulletin board mimics the format of 2channel where Yaruo threads originated, maintaining cultural continuity. Third, it aggregates user-generated content. Through the bulletin board, user-created content can be centrally managed and utilized as project assets.
4.4 Yaruo DAO and Reward Program - Innovation in Project Structure
The most innovative aspect of the Yaruo project is the existence of the Yaruo DAO. Rather than being merely a governance mechanism for token holders, it functions as a reward program for content creators.
The Yaruo DAO has the following characteristics:
First, rewards for diverse content formats:
•X Threads: Rewards for creators who post valuable threads related to Yaruo
•YouTube: Rewards for creators who produce videos related to Yaruo or Yaruo culture
•Game Development: Rewards for creators who develop games or interactive content featuring Yaruo
•Other Content: Support for diverse formats including illustrations, animations, music, and stories
The Yaruo DAO reward program is not merely a marketing tactic, but is designed as a structure for continuously expanding the meme's worldview. In other words, the project provides economic incentives to the community to answer the question "How should we develop the Yaruo meme?" and thereby encourages participation.Second, continuous expansion of the meme's worldview:
Traditional meme coins have project teams create content top-down. However, the Yaruo DAO adopts an inverted structure where community members create content bottom-up and receive rewards for doing so. This reflects the essence of Yaruo thread culture and realizes participatory creative culture.Third, formation of bottom-up creative culture:
4.5 Concrete Manifestation of Developer's Creative Drive
The implementation of these products is a concrete manifestation of the developer's creative drive. In many meme coin projects, developers abandon the project in its early stages or provide only minimal functionality. However, in the Yaruo project, the developer continuously adds new features and develops the project.
This creative drive is important for several reasons. First, project sustainability: continuous updates increase the likelihood of long-term project growth. Second, community participation incentives: new features provide community members with ongoing reasons to participate. Third, project differentiation: compared to other meme coins, Yaruo is recognized as a project providing substantive value.
Chapter 4: The Essence of Yaruo's "Collective Creation" and Its Relevance to the Yaruo Project
5.1 The Uniqueness of Yaruo Being "Author-Unknown"
The most important element in understanding the Yaruo project is that Yaruo is an "author-unknown" collectively-created work.
Yaruo is not an intentional creation by a specific individual, but rather a character that formed spontaneously within the 2channel community through the involvement of multiple users. Even its name was determined by community vote. In other words, Yaruo is a shared asset of the entire internet community.
5.2 Open-Source-Like Meme Culture
The characteristic of being "author-unknown" and "collectively-created" reflects the essence of Yaruo thread culture. Yaruo threads are an open-source-like creative culture where new expressions are created by modifying and customizing existing AA.
In other words, Yaruo as an IP is not merely a corporate work, but something that continuously evolves by and for the community. This characteristic continues in the Yaruo project through the Yaruo DAO reward program.
5.3 Implementation of "Shared Assets" in the Web3 Era
The Yaruo project is an attempt to adapt Yaruo as a "shared asset" to the Web3 era. The Yaruo DAO reward program implements the "open-source-like" essence of Yaruo thread culture through cryptocurrency and DAO mechanisms.
In other words, Yaruo is not merely a meme coin, but an experiment to adapt internet community shared assets to the Web3 era.
Chapter 5: Community-Driven Content Creation - Rising Momentum
6.1 Original Game Development
The most interesting aspect of the Yaruo project is that holders have begun voluntarily creating original games. This is not top-down development by the project team, but bottom-up creative activity by the community.

@YaruoSOL

(https://x.com/i/status/2013515987719450969)
This game development movement is important for several reasons. First, it demonstrates that Yaruo as a character functions not merely as a cryptocurrency symbol, but as an actual subject of creative work. Second, it suggests that holders seek cultural value beyond economic incentives. Third, if these games succeed, they have the potential to significantly increase the overall project value.
The Yaruo DAO reward program provides economic incentives for such game development, promoting further content creation.
6.2 Diversification of Content Creation
Beyond game development, holders have begun creating various types of content. This potentially includes diverse formats such as illustrations, animations, stories, and music.
Through the Yaruo DAO reward program, by providing economic incentives for this content creation, there is potential for continuous improvement in both the quality and quantity of content.
6.3 Shift from "Nostalgia" to "Creativity"
The key to Yaruo project growth is the shift from the emotion of "nostalgia" to the action of "creativity." Many holders initially participated in the project due to nostalgia for Yaruo, but subsequently deepened their project commitment by participating in creative activities themselves.
This shift significantly increases project sustainability. This is because the community is evolving from a mere collection of speculators into a collection of creators.
6.4 Rising Momentum Within Japan
Within weeks of project launch, community momentum within Japan has rapidly increased. This may be due to several factors:
First, high recognition of and affinity for Yaruo. Second, sense of participation in the project through community-driven content creation. Third, increased speculative interest accompanying overall meme coin market growth. Fourth, interesting stories such as the "Hiroyuki connection theory" behind the project. Fifth, the provision of economic incentives for content creation through the Yaruo DAO reward program.
https://yaruocoin-fan.site/guide/
As these factors combine, the Yaruo project is beginning to be recognized not merely as a meme coin, but as a project symbolizing Japanese internet culture.
Chapter 6: Narrative Strengths - Why Yaruo?
7.1 Cultural Depth and Historical Significance
Yaruo's greatest strength is that it is not merely a new meme coin, but an established cultural asset with a 20-year history. Since its birth in 2005, Yaruo has functioned as an important part of Japanese internet culture to the present day.
This historical significance is important for several reasons. First, there is existing community and recognition of Yaruo. Second, Yaruo thread culture has matured over nearly 20 years. Third, the commercial success of works like "Goblin Slayer" has proven that Yaruo as an IP has market value.
These elements provide a powerful answer to the question new meme coins face: "Why this token?"
7.2 Substantive Value as a "Shared Asset"
Yaruo's deepest strength is that Yaruo is a "shared asset." Yaruo is not owned by a specific company or individual, but is a shared asset of the entire internet community.
This characteristic is important for several reasons. First, affection and familiarity with Yaruo are based not on a corporate marketing target, but on cultural heritage shared by the entire community. Second, the Yaruo DAO reward program adapts this "shared asset" nature to the Web3 era. Third, the project is recognized not merely as a speculative asset, but as a project with cultural continuity.
7.3 Quality of Implemented Products
Yaruo's strength lies not merely in narrative, but in the quality of implemented products. Products such as the AI AA generator, bulletin board functionality, and Yaruo DAO reward program provide substantive value to the project.
Many meme coin projects rely solely on narrative, with insufficient implemented products. However, Yaruo possesses both narrative and implemented products, which serves as a major differentiation factor against competitors.
7.4 Global Expansion Potential
While Yaruo is a representative meme of Japanese internet culture, its emotional essence has the potential to resonate with many people regardless of cultural background. The "annoyingness" and "pathos" of Yaruo are emotions universally experienced by internet users.
Furthermore, the Web3 community comprises users with diverse cultural backgrounds. Introducing classic Japanese meme culture to this global community has the potential to bring new perspectives and values.
Should the Yaruo project succeed, it would become an important case demonstrating the possibility of Japanese internet culture being globally accepted.
7.5 IP Expansion Potential
Yaruo as an IP has already been deployed in multiple formats: ASCII Art, light novels, and now cryptocurrency. This diverse deployment demonstrates Yaruo's adaptability and expandability as an IP.
Should the Yaruo project succeed, the following developments could be envisioned:
First, NFT-based sales of derivative characters. By selling derivative characters like Yaranai Otoko, Dekiru Otoko, and Opuna as NFTs, project revenue sources could be diversified.
Second, token utilization when adapting Yaruo thread narratives into games or anime. Should the original games already being created by holders succeed, they could be developed into larger-scale content.
Third, serving as a precedent for cryptoasset versions of other classic Japanese memes. Other AA characters like Monacoin and Giko Cat could potentially be cryptoassetified.
7.6 Gateway to East Asian Internet Culture
The Yaruo project has the potential to serve as a gateway for global crypto communities to explore East Asian internet culture. Japanese 2channel culture has influenced Korean Naver and Chinese internet culture, with similar meme cultures existing in these regions.
Should Yaruo succeed, this could be the first step toward globalization of East Asian internet culture as a whole.
7.7 Developer's Creative Drive and Continuous Updates
Yaruo's strength is that the developer's creative drive is implemented as continuous product development. In many meme coin projects, developers abandon the project in its early stages. However, in Yaruo, the developer continuously adds new features and develops the project.
This creative drive is an important indicator of the project's long-term growth potential.
Chapter 7: Risk Factors and Considerations
8.1 Project Early Stage
The Yaruo project is a new project that only began in January 2026. Detailed information about the project team may not be publicly available. This is a common risk factor in the meme coin market.
8.2 Meme Coin Market Uncertainty
The meme coin market is extremely unstable and unpredictable. Price volatility is significant, and liquidity can fluctuate dramatically. Additionally, the meme coin market is a sector facing increasing regulatory scrutiny.
8.3 Uncertainty of Hiroyuki Connection Theory
The "same person theory" is merely playful speculation. Without official confirmation, basing investment decisions on this information is dangerous. The project's substantive value must be independently evaluated.
8.4 Dependence on Cultural Narrative
Yaruo project value heavily depends on the narrative of Yaruo as a cultural asset. Whether this narrative will be accepted by the global crypto community is uncertain.
8.5 Relationship with Existing Community
The relationship between Yaruo's existing user community and the Yaruo project may be complex. If support from the existing community is not obtained, project growth could be limited.
8.6 Content Creation Sustainability
Currently, holders are creating original games and content, but whether this activity is sustainable is uncertain. Initial momentum could cool.
8.7 Yaruo DAO Reward Program Sustainability
The Yaruo DAO reward program is an important element supporting project growth, but its sustainability depends on token value. Should token value decline, the reward program's appeal would diminish, potentially stalling content creation.
Chapter 8: Analysis Points for Traders

9.8 Sustainability of Growth Within Japan
Yaruo's current growth is primarily supported by community momentum within Japan. The following points are important to monitor:
•Whether community momentum within Japan will be sustained
•To what degree expansion to global communities will progress
•To what degree growth within Japan will contribute to global growth
Chapter 9: Conclusion - Yaruo's Positioning
Yaruo is not merely a meme coin, but a culturally deep project backed by 20 years of Japanese internet culture history. Its success depends on the following factors:
First, to what degree the "shared asset" of Yaruo will be accepted by the global crypto community.
Second, whether the developer's creative drive is implemented as continuous product development.
Third, to what degree existing Yaruo user communities will participate in the Yaruo project.
Fourth, to what degree original games and content created by holders will increase overall project value.
Fifth, whether the Yaruo DAO reward program can continuously promote content creation.
While all these factors are uncertain, should Yaruo succeed, it could become a phenomenon symbolizing the globalization of East Asian internet culture.
Simultaneously, the fact that the project developer is based in France and shares a location with Hiroyuki could increase speculative interest in the project. However, this information is merely background context, and the project's substantive value must be independently evaluated.
Most importantly, Yaruo functions as a project adapting meme culture itself to the Web3 era through implemented products, continuous updates, and community-driven creative culture, rather than being merely a meme coin.
Furthermore, implementing Yaruo's essence as an "author-unknown" "shared asset" through the Yaruo DAO reward program is the most innovative aspect of the Yaruo project. In other words, Yaruo is an experiment in DAOifying internet community shared assets and economically incentivizing their continuous evolution.
For traders, Yaruo is a project worth monitoring regarding narrative strength, quality of implemented products, community growth, content creation progress, and regulatory environment response. However, given meme coin market uncertainty and the project's early stage, careful evaluation is necessary.

In other words, Yaruo as an IP is not merely a corporate work, but something that continuously evolves by and for the community. This characteristic continues in the Yaruo project through the Yaruo DAO reward program.
5.3 Implementation of "Shared Assets" in the Web3 Era
The Yaruo project is an attempt to adapt Yaruo as a "shared asset" to the Web3 era. The Yaruo DAO reward program implements the "open-source-like" essence of Yaruo thread culture through cryptocurrency and DAO mechanisms.
In other words, Yaruo is not merely a meme coin, but an experiment to adapt internet community shared assets to the Web3 era.
Chapter 5: Community-Driven Content Creation - Rising Momentum
6.1 Original Game Development
The most interesting aspect of the Yaruo project is that holders have begun voluntarily creating original games. This is not top-down development by the project team, but bottom-up creative activity by the community.

This game development movement is important for several reasons. First, it demonstrates that Yaruo as a character functions not merely as a cryptocurrency symbol, but as an actual subject of creative work. Second, it suggests that holders seek cultural value beyond economic incentives. Third, if these games succeed, they have the potential to significantly increase the overall project value.
The Yaruo DAO reward program provides economic incentives for such game development, promoting further content creation.
6.2 Diversification of Content Creation
Beyond game development, holders have begun creating various types of content. This potentially includes diverse formats such as illustrations, animations, stories, and music.
Through the Yaruo DAO reward program, by providing economic incentives for this content creation, there is potential for continuous improvement in both the quality and quantity of content.
6.3 Shift from "Nostalgia" to "Creativity"
The key to Yaruo project growth is the shift from the emotion of "nostalgia" to the action of "creativity." Many holders initially participated in the project due to nostalgia for Yaruo, but subsequently deepened their project commitment by participating in creative activities themselves.
This shift significantly increases project sustainability. This is because the community is evolving from a mere collection of speculators into a collection of creators.
6.4 Rising Momentum Within Japan
Within weeks of project launch, community momentum within Japan has rapidly increased. This may be due to several factors:
First, high recognition of and affinity for Yaruo. Second, sense of participation in the project through community-driven content creation. Third, increased speculative interest accompanying overall meme coin market growth. Fourth, interesting stories such as the "Hiroyuki connection theory" behind the project. Fifth, the provision of economic incentives for content creation through the Yaruo DAO reward program.

As these factors combine, the Yaruo project is beginning to be recognized not merely as a meme coin, but as a project symbolizing Japanese internet culture.
Chapter 6: Narrative Strengths - Why Yaruo?
7.1 Cultural Depth and Historical Significance
Yaruo's greatest strength is that it is not merely a new meme coin, but an established cultural asset with a 20-year history. Since its birth in 2005, Yaruo has functioned as an important part of Japanese internet culture to the present day.
This historical significance is important for several reasons. First, there is existing community and recognition of Yaruo. Second, Yaruo thread culture has matured over nearly 20 years. Third, the commercial success of works like "Goblin Slayer" has proven that Yaruo as an IP has market value.
These elements provide a powerful answer to the question new meme coins face: "Why this token?"
7.2 Substantive Value as a "Shared Asset"
Yaruo's deepest strength is that Yaruo is a "shared asset." Yaruo is not owned by a specific company or individual, but is a shared asset of the entire internet community.
This characteristic is important for several reasons. First, affection and familiarity with Yaruo are based not on a corporate marketing target, but on cultural heritage shared by the entire community. Second, the Yaruo DAO reward program adapts this "shared asset" nature to the Web3 era. Third, the project is recognized not merely as a speculative asset, but as a project with cultural continuity.
7.3 Quality of Implemented Products
Yaruo's strength lies not merely in narrative, but in the quality of implemented products. Products such as the AI AA generator, bulletin board functionality, and Yaruo DAO reward program provide substantive value to the project.
Many meme coin projects rely solely on narrative, with insufficient implemented products. However, Yaruo possesses both narrative and implemented products, which serves as a major differentiation factor against competitors.
7.4 Global Expansion Potential
While Yaruo is a representative meme of Japanese internet culture, its emotional essence has the potential to resonate with many people regardless of cultural background. The "annoyingness" and "pathos" of Yaruo are emotions universally experienced by internet users.
Furthermore, the Web3 community comprises users with diverse cultural backgrounds. Introducing classic Japanese meme culture to this global community has the potential to bring new perspectives and values.
Should the Yaruo project succeed, it would become an important case demonstrating the possibility of Japanese internet culture being globally accepted.
7.5 IP Expansion Potential
Yaruo as an IP has already been deployed in multiple formats: ASCII Art, light novels, and now cryptocurrency. This diverse deployment demonstrates Yaruo's adaptability and expandability as an IP.
Should the Yaruo project succeed, the following developments could be envisioned:
First, NFT-based sales of derivative characters. By selling derivative characters like Yaranai Otoko, Dekiru Otoko, and Opuna as NFTs, project revenue sources could be diversified.
Second, token utilization when adapting Yaruo thread narratives into games or anime. Should the original games already being created by holders succeed, they could be developed into larger-scale content.
Third, serving as a precedent for cryptoasset versions of other classic Japanese memes. Other AA characters like Monacoin and Giko Cat could potentially be cryptoassetified.
7.6 Gateway to East Asian Internet Culture
The Yaruo project has the potential to serve as a gateway for global crypto communities to explore East Asian internet culture. Japanese 2channel culture has influenced Korean Naver and Chinese internet culture, with similar meme cultures existing in these regions.
Should Yaruo succeed, this could be the first step toward globalization of East Asian internet culture as a whole.
7.7 Developer's Creative Drive and Continuous Updates
Yaruo's strength is that the developer's creative drive is implemented as continuous product development. In many meme coin projects, developers abandon the project in its early stages. However, in Yaruo, the developer continuously adds new features and develops the project.
This creative drive is an important indicator of the project's long-term growth potential.
Chapter 7: Risk Factors and Considerations
8.1 Project Early Stage
The Yaruo project is a new project that only began in January 2026. Detailed information about the project team may not be publicly available. This is a common risk factor in the meme coin market.
8.2 Meme Coin Market Uncertainty
The meme coin market is extremely unstable and unpredictable. Price volatility is significant, and liquidity can fluctuate dramatically. Additionally, the meme coin market is a sector facing increasing regulatory scrutiny.
8.3 Uncertainty of Hiroyuki Connection Theory
The "same person theory" is merely playful speculation. Without official confirmation, basing investment decisions on this information is dangerous. The project's substantive value must be independently evaluated.
8.4 Dependence on Cultural Narrative
Yaruo project value heavily depends on the narrative of Yaruo as a cultural asset. Whether this narrative will be accepted by the global crypto community is uncertain.
8.5 Relationship with Existing Community
The relationship between Yaruo's existing user community and the Yaruo project may be complex. If support from the existing community is not obtained, project growth could be limited.
8.6 Content Creation Sustainability
Currently, holders are creating original games and content, but whether this activity is sustainable is uncertain. Initial momentum could cool.
8.7 Yaruo DAO Reward Program Sustainability
The Yaruo DAO reward program is an important element supporting project growth, but its sustainability depends on token value. Should token value decline, the reward program's appeal would diminish, potentially stalling content creation.

•Whether community momentum within Japan will be sustained
•To what degree expansion to global communities will progress
•To what degree growth within Japan will contribute to global growth
Chapter 9: Conclusion - Yaruo's Positioning
Yaruo is not merely a meme coin, but a culturally deep project backed by 20 years of Japanese internet culture history. Its success depends on the following factors:
First, to what degree the "shared asset" of Yaruo will be accepted by the global crypto community.
Second, whether the developer's creative drive is implemented as continuous product development.
Third, to what degree existing Yaruo user communities will participate in the Yaruo project.
Fourth, to what degree original games and content created by holders will increase overall project value.
Fifth, whether the Yaruo DAO reward program can continuously promote content creation.
While all these factors are uncertain, should Yaruo succeed, it could become a phenomenon symbolizing the globalization of East Asian internet culture.
Simultaneously, the fact that the project developer is based in France and shares a location with Hiroyuki could increase speculative interest in the project. However, this information is merely background context, and the project's substantive value must be independently evaluated.
Most importantly, Yaruo functions as a project adapting meme culture itself to the Web3 era through implemented products, continuous updates, and community-driven creative culture, rather than being merely a meme coin.
Furthermore, implementing Yaruo's essence as an "author-unknown" "shared asset" through the Yaruo DAO reward program is the most innovative aspect of the Yaruo project. In other words, Yaruo is an experiment in DAOifying internet community shared assets and economically incentivizing their continuous evolution.
For traders, Yaruo is a project worth monitoring regarding narrative strength, quality of implemented products, community growth, content creation progress, and regulatory environment response. However, given meme coin market uncertainty and the project's early stage, careful evaluation is necessary.
