Name origination.

The name “Shiba squad” originates from Nick Jack (then), Anthony Carlsson, and Vanessa Guerrero trying to decide a name for their new friendship group and Nick ended up looking up pictures of Shiba Inus to which Shibes got attached to looking at and “Shiba squad” became the thing for them, despite this name, Shibes are not obsessed with Shiba Inus, the name is just comforting to them.
