Overview
Joshua ("hey there little guy") is a Solana token built around a TikTok character meme that spread rapidly in late August 2026. The subject, a creator known online as Joshua Guitar, was turned into a small animated "brainrot" character that appeared across comment sections on the platform.
Origin post
On 24 August 2026, the account @robert_thedev_ posted that a new TikTok character was going viral, explaining that Joshua Guitar was being turned into a meme and that the phrase "hey there little guy, joshua" was being repeated throughout comment sections. The post noted that one edit had reached 2.5 million views in the previous twenty-two hours and that the phrase was being posted repeatedly under all of the creator's recent videos.

Market history
After the token launched it gained traction quickly, reaching roughly $50,000 in market capitalisation, retracing to about $9,000, and then recovering to approximately $80,000. It later returned to its all-time high following a failed attempt to redirect attention to a rival token in a post that has since been deleted.
Prior launch
A separate token had been launched the previous day under the name "Guitar Joshua" (2sShpRteDCnbDPotTD5jiiPjBvT2jLWbZ8R9N5YXpump). That launch carried no accompanying posts or explanation of the meme and did not attract comparable attention.
