Shabani, a Western Lowland Gorilla residing at the Higashiyama Zoo and Botanical Gardens in Nagoya, Japan, became a global internet sensation in 2015 for his remarkably handsome features. Known by the Japanese term Ikemen, meaning attractive man, Shabani's intense gaze and brooding poses led to a surge in zoo attendance and viral fame across social media. The meme typically centers on his human-like charisma, often used to compare his photogenic nature to humans or to represent the peak of physical and stoic perfection. Whether used for self-improvement jokes, Gigachad-style comparisons, or simple primate admiration, Shabani remains the undisputed king of viral animal modeling.
