Akakichi no Eleven Redraws

Know Your Meme documents Akakichi no Eleven Redraws, also called Man Putting Hand On Shoulder, as a meme built from a frame of the 1970s soccer anime Akakichi no Eleven: a stocky player with a pronounced chin places a hand on another player’s shoulder in a tight close-up. Artists redraw the pose with characters from other franchises, sports memes, or original designs while preserving the awkward body language. The format circulated heavily on Twitter / X from 2024 into 2026 as part of broader redraw culture.

Usage mirrors other single-panel exploitable memes: the humor comes from who gets pasted into the roles, how the hand-on-shoulder dynamic maps to shipping, mentorship, or corporate HR vibes, and how the exaggerated chin sells melodrama even when the faces are swapped.
