Nicky Larson is the French name for Ryo Saeba, the private detective at the centre of City Hunter, the manga and anime series created by Tsukasa Hojo that became a lasting favourite in France. The character's mix of humour, charm and action made him a familiar figure well beyond Japan, and short clips associated with him are now shared widely in edits and meme videos. Fans keep using them because the name alone signals a confident, slightly chaotic hero stepping into a scene.
