In MyMemeCards, the meme card game, “Mikan-Seijin” is a common card of the Memes World series 76, number 22575 of the collection, and the 75th 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 “Mikan-Seijin” meme mean?
Mikan-Seijin stands for a cute, slightly goofy orange character that captures the whimsy of 1990s Japanese animation. Online, he is mostly tied to a strange kind of nostalgia: YouTube clips, a Windows desktop pet and edits set to a video game theme. People bring him up to point at an internet oddity that is both adorable and absurd, the kind of thing shared between those in the know, usually with a touch of affection.
Where does the “Mikan-Seijin” meme come from?
Mikan-Seijin, or “the alien from planet Mandarin,” is an anthropomorphic character created in 1989 by Kazuma Shirasaki. According to Know Your Meme, a license was granted in 1992 for animated shorts broadcast on “UgoUgoLuga,” Fuji Television's animation block. He remains tied to the network, which still publishes new Flash animations, and he inspired merchandise in Japan. In the mid-to-late 1990s a desktop pet called orange.exe, published by Village Center, carried the character onto Windows desktops, probably his first contact with the English-speaking web. From 2008 on, YouTube edits paired him with the Bubble Bobble theme, the best known being “THIS VIDEO IS CITRUS.” On YouTube he is also known as “Orangeman.”
