Item 5.02

Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers

On May 29, 2019, Joseph E. Page resigned as a director of RocketFuel Blockchain, Inc. (the “Company”).

Mr. Page stated that his resignation was due to the Company’s failure to raise additional capital after the Company acquired RocketFuel Blockchain Company, a company formerly controlled by Mr. Page, Gert Funk, the Company’s chief executive officer, and three other persons. The acquisition was consummated in June 2018. Mr. Page also asserted in his resignation letter that certain fundraising activities of the Company and it officers and shareholders may have been unlawful, which the Company strongly denies. As disclosed in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2018 (i) in October and November 2018 the Company sold 7,500 shares of common stock to a citizen and resident of Taiwan; the offer and sale was conducted in accordance with Rule 903 of Regulation S under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”); and (ii) in October 2018 the Company issued 12,500 shares of common stock to an unaffiliated person in payment for financial consulting services in a transaction exempt under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and Regulation D thereunder. Both transactions were approved by the board of directors, including Mr. Page. The Company believes that all of its fundraising activities are in full compliance with applicable U.S. law. Mr. Page does not have an employement agreement with the Company and has not threatened legal action in connection with the resignation letter.

Mr. Page is also chief technology officer of the Company and a director and treasurer of its subsidiary RocketFuel Blockchain Company. While Mr. Page has not formaly resigned from these positions, the Company expects that he will do so in the near future.

A copy of Mr. Page’s letter of resignation is attached to this Report as Exhibit 17.1.
