Tokyo drift AI is taking over the internet: How to create your own version of the 'Fast & Furious' trend

While 'See You Again' once left an entire generation emotional over the Fast & Furious saga, a fresh social media trend is reigniting nostalgia, this time with an AI-powered twist.

A viral wave is sweeping across TikTok, Instagram and X, centred around an iconic moment from The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift. Users are recreating the legendary scene where Han leans against his orange Mazda RX-7 — but with a hilarious spin.

Instead of the sleek sports car, creators are swapping in everything from Mr Bean’s Mini Cooper to toy cars and absurd objects. Some go even further, replacing Han himself with pop culture figures such as Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, US President Donald Trump and even SpongeBob.

Tokyo Drift AI on social media

In one of the edits going viral on X, a user replaced Sean with the viral Japanese monkey Punch and Han with his stuffed toy Ora-mama. Punch walked out of the school to meet the toy and the two shared a hug.

Another edit replaced Sean with the character Jon Snow from the hit HBO series 'Game of Thrones' and Han with Emilia Clarke's character Daenerys Targaryen, standing by her dragon.

One hilarious edit had famous cartoon character Oggy in place of Sean with his brother Jack waiting for him by his bike, from the famous cartoon series 'Oggy and the Cockroaches'.

Many such hilarious edits have filled social media pages as more and more people attempt their hand at the trend. For those looking to add their own drift to the trend, here's a how-to.

How to do the Tokyo Drift AI trend?

Trying the trend is easy, but getting it right on the first attempt is vital.

• Begin by downloading an app called Kling AI
• Create an account and ensure you are focusing as there's only one chance at this
• Press "explore" in the bottom bar
• Type "Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift" in the search bar
• Find the template and click "recreate"
• Delete the second photo and add your own image
• Change the colours to what fits your imagination
• Download and share wherever you want

For those looking to create a picture version of the trend, using ChatGPT or Google's Gemini is ideal. Search for a screenshot of Han leaning against his car online, and upload it to any of the sites. Then add the photo you want to replace the car with and write a prompt for the chatbot to execute. And just like that you have your own Tokyo Drift moment to obsess over.
