About
Tobirama Senju is a character from the manga and anime series Naruto and the Second Hokage of the Hidden Leaf Village. In memes, Tobirama is portrayed as hateful, spiteful or "racist" towards the Uchiha Clan and the various characters connected to its bloodline.
Origin
Due to being long dead prior to the beginning of the series' timeline, Tobirama's only appearances and mentions throughout most the main story are either through narration or flashbacks. A physical copy of Tobirama gets summoned alongside one of his elder brother Hashirama via the Reincarnation Technique (Edo Tensei) by Orochimaru in chapter 118, published on April 22nd, 2002.[1][2] However, a large sculpture of his face can be seen in the very first chapter of manga (depicted beside the other Hokage of the village), published on October 4th, 1999, on Hokage Rock (shown below, left).[3] Tobirama reappears in a flashback narrated by Obito Uchiha in chapter 399, published on May 26th, 2008.[4] According to Obito, Tobirama systematically segregated the Uchiha from the village's positions of power by using them as police force and relocating their clan's quarters to a remote section of the village (shown below, right).[5][6]

When Tobirama was brought back once again by Orochimaru and met Sasuke Uchiha, he showed prejudice and resentment towards him and his clan, describing them as a clan "possessed by evil". He later claimed that when he was alive he did not hate the Uchiha, but that he took action due to the danger they posed to the village.[7][8]
Spread
Early memes from the Naruto fanbase made in the early 2010s about Tobirama portrayed him as the Hokage who "invented everything" as he did canonically invent most of the techniques (jutsu) in the series (examples shown, below).[9][10][11]
