In MyMemeCards, the meme card game, “Hissu Amoto San / Airmoto” is a rare card of the Memes World series 76, number 22512 of the collection, and the 4th best-known meme of its 298 cards. Here is what the meme means, where it comes from, and how to get its card.

What does the “Hissu Amoto San / Airmoto” meme mean?

The tag labels a genre of anime-style remixes in which promotional footage is cut up, sped up or set to music until it turns funny. For fans, it is both an editing game and a way to tease an organization and one of its public faces. People cite it like a niche classic: the reference mostly lands with those familiar with Nico Nico Douga and MAD videos, where reworking existing footage is a shared language.

Where does the “Hissu Amoto San / Airmoto” meme come from?

According to Know Your Meme, the earliest recorded appearance on Nico Nico Douga is dated November 30, 2007: a video of Masami Hisamoto set to music from the game Kirby’s Gourmet Race, later deleted. On January 25, 2008, “Falcon☆Parn (IeAAAAA MIX)” went up on Nico Nico and on YouTube the same day. More remixes followed in the MAD format, meaning parodic edits that combine video clips, anime characters and music. One cited example, “Seymour Battle”, came out on August 10, 2009. After the organization asked for takedowns, the tag changed, which is why several names exist for the same phenomenon. The entry does not give a date for that switch.
