Zorro, whose name comes from the Spanish el zorro meaning the fox, was created by Johnston McCulley in 1919 as a masked swordsman defending Spanish California. The character later became famous through films and television series, where Spanish guitar music often accompanied his duels and entrances. That association turned flamenco style riffs into shorthand for his heroic arrivals online. This short guitar clip circulated on soundboards as a quick audio cue for swashbuckling moments, and creators still reuse it for parodies, reveals and Latin themed scenes.
