Masashi Tashiro

In 2001, many 2ch users voted for Japanese TV performer Masashi Tashiro as Time Magazine's Person of the Year. An act which chooses Tashiro as Person of the Year by 2ch users is called "Tashiro Festival" (Tashiro Matsuri, ???). Tashiro was infamous in the Japanese media for committing several crimes, including peeping up a woman's skirt using a camcorder, using stimulants twice, peeping in a male bath and causing a car accident. 2ch programmers developed many scripts such as "Tashiro Cannon" (Tashiro-h?, ???), "Mega particle Tashiro Cannon" (Mega-ry?shi Tashiro-h?, ???????), 25 repeated blows Tashiro Cannon" (Nijy?-go renda Tashiro-h?, 25?????) "Super Tashiro Cannon" (Ch? Tashiro-h?, ????) to be able to vote efficiently. (Since "Super Tashiro cannon" was especially powerful, it shut down Time's server. Afterwards, "Satellite Cannon -Tashiro-" was developed, but it was restrained) Due to the votes of 2ch users, he got to the No. 1 position temporarily in on December 21, 2001. However, Time's staff realized that something was unusual, and Tashiro was removed from contention.
