The "Hand on Shoulder" meme, often called "Akakichi no Eleven Redraws," originates from a frame in the 1970s Japanese soccer anime Akakichi no Eleven. The image features a man with a large chin placing his hand on another character’s shoulder, evoking feelings of reassurance or emotional support. This image became a popular reaction meme on French Twitter in late 2023, with users starting to "redraw" the scene using characters from various anime and other fandoms, often adjusting the context to fit different scenarios. The meme gained massive popularity after being identified and shared widely in early 2024
