Ken-Sama is a legendary figure originating from a 2012 4chan copypasta that parodied the 'weeaboo' subculture—Westerners obsessed with Japanese culture to a delusional degree. The character describes himself as a 27-year-old American Otaku who thinks he is Japanese, uses broken Romaji, and claims that Japan is a 'superior pro-land.' The meme is a cornerstone of internet history used to mock cultural appropriation or extreme fandoms. Today, it remains a go-to template for highlighting ironically misplaced cultural pride or the cringe associated with early 2010s internet subcultures and obsession with anime tropes.
