The 'Hatsune Miku at 2020 Tokyo Olympics' meme emerged from a massive fan-led campaign hoping to see the world-famous Vocaloid perform at the Tokyo 2020 Opening Ceremony. As one of Japan's most recognizable cultural exports, fans worldwide created mockups and petitions for her inclusion. When the actual ceremony took place without a Miku appearance, the meme evolved into a humorous form of protest, with users photoshopping Miku into the Olympic stadium or using it to mock the exclusion of virtual talent. It symbolizes the bridge between modern digital culture and traditional global events, often used to express disappointment in mainstream corporate choices or to celebrate Miku's status as a global pop icon.
