# Hissu Amoto San Hissu Amoto San / Airmoto, also written 必須アモト酸, is a Nico Nico Douga tag for Japanese MAD parodies mocking actress Masami Hisamoto's televised praise of the Buddhist group Sōka Gakkai International[6]. A November 2007 remix set her 'PARN!' hand gesture to the Kirby's Gourmet Race theme and sparked thousands of follow-ups, including a January 2008 Falcon Punch crossover that briefly reached Western YouTube before copyright takedowns[5]. ## Origin In the SGI promotional interview 'My Beautiful Life' (すばらしき わが人生), Masami Hisamoto gives an emotional account of Daisaku Ikeda praising her TV work and, overcome with joy, slaps her hands to her face while exclaiming 'PAN!'[2]. On November 30, 2007, an anonymous Nico Nico Douga user uploaded a MAD titled '久本雅美の頭がカービィのBGMに合わせて爆発したようです' ('Masami Hisamoto's head seems to have exploded in time with Kirby's BGM'), timing the gesture to Kirby's Gourmet Race[1]. That clip became the seed of Hissu Amoto San and of the Kirby's Gourmet Race Remixes series on NND[3]. - **Platform:** Nico Nico Douga (YouTube reuploads for Western spread) - **Creator:** Unknown (first MAD uploaded by an anonymous Nico Nico Douga user on 2007-11-30) - **Date:** 2007 ## Overview Most Hissu Amoto San MADs loop the moment Hisamoto reacts to Sōka Gakkai leader Daisaku Ikeda praising her television performances, when she slaps her hands to her face and yells 'PAN!' or 'PARN!' at full volume[2]. Editors sync that gesture to upbeat video game music, with Kirby's Gourmet Race acting as the signature backing track, and splice in misheard Japanese lines from Ikeda and other SGI figures to build gag choruses[3]. The humor comes from clashing the earnest religious tone of the original SGI promo 'My Beautiful Life' against cartoon pacing and chiptune beats[2]. 'Airmoto' fuses 'Air' with 'Hisamoto', riffing on how her flailing hands look like someone playing an air guitar[3]. Common offshoots include RED_ZONE mashups, Nuclear Fusion remixes and Bloomin' X cuts, each anchored by the 'PARN!' hit as a rhythmic accent[1]. ## How to Use Clip the 'PAN!/PARN!' hand-slap from the 'My Beautiful Life' interview and cut it in time with video game music, typically Kirby's Gourmet Race, then layer misheard Japanese dialogue from Ikeda or other SGI figures as a looping chant. Common conventions include a drum-hit sync on the 'PARN!' beat, a Falcon Punch style text card, and a camouflage title in place of the original 久本さん tag. ## Frequently Asked Questions ### What is Hissu Amoto San?
