The Worried Hiroshi Uchiyamada meme originates from the classic 1999 anime Great Teacher Onizuka (GTO). It features the school's Vice Principal, Hiroshi Uchiyamada, an aging bureaucrat who is frequently driven to the brink of a nervous breakdown by the unconventional teaching methods of protagonist Eikichi Onizuka. The GIF typically captures his signature bulging eyes, excessive sweating, and trembling expression, often occurring when he realizes his prized Toyota Cresta car is in danger. This template is widely used across the internet to express extreme stress, impending doom, or the physical manifestation of anxiety when a situation spirals out of control.
