William Glen Harold Herrington, was an American model and pornographic film actor. In the late 2000s, his appearances in various gay pornography movies led him to become a popular Internet meme on video-sharing websites such as Japan's Nico Nico Douga, where he was referred to by the sobriquet "Aniki" . Since then, at least 15,000 short mash-up parodies of his clips—known as "Gachimuchi Pants Wrestling" —have been produced by users.
