If you're into Japanese YouTubers, you definitely know HIKAKIN (ヒカキン), Japan's most subscribed YouTuber and a beloved internet personality for all ages. His fun and humorous video productions have even attracted collaborations with major celebrities.
Recently, a fan on Japanese X (formerly Twitter) created a hilarious edit, turning "Gakkoron"—a meme born from one of HIKAKIN's past videos—into "Kamen Rider Gakkoron." This all-green Kamen Rider instantly became a hot topic across social media.
Let's back up a bit: the "Gakkoron" meme originated from a hilarious YouTube auto-caption blunder. The system mistakenly transcribed audio as "Kamen Rider Gakkoron," and this bizarre phrase quickly went viral, becoming a running gag, a source for fan art, and even a meme character's name.
Seizing the moment, the "Kamen Rider Gakkoron" account cleverly spoofed Toei's recent tokusatsu series project, "PROJECT R.E.D.", by launching "PROJECT G.R.E.E.N." as its "first phase." This "new project" featured an all-green Kamen Rider protagonist, supposedly starring HIKAKIN himself! The post blew up, with netizens flooding the comments asking, "Is this real?!" and "Is Toei actually doing this?!"
Of course, this "Gakkoron" (ガッコロン) stunt is an incredibly elaborate and hilarious fan prank, a perfect mashup for tokusatsu and YouTuber fans alike. But hey, HIKAKIN did make an appearance in the summer movie for "Bakuage Sentai Boonboomger," so who knows... maybe one day, right? XD
