Takeshi Kaneshiro, who will forever be known for
Onimusha, is in the headlines again in Taiwan after a typhoon blew through the island earlier this month. Interestingly enough, Kaneshiro himself wasnāt making the waves, but rather a tree that he sat under in a commercial once.
In the commercial, Kaneshiro talks about seeing the world, seeing different things and experiencing life. He takes a moment to sit down and drink tea underneath the cover of this lone tree.
Since airing in 2013, the tree has been a tourist destination in Taiwan.

Now that the tree has been knocked over, there has been efforts to re-root the thing. Netizens have taken to the cause by doing what they do best, creating memes. The memes have gotten so popular that thereās even been a tumblr and a meme generator!
Weāve collected a series of the best of what Iām calling, Takeshi Sits.
