Talk To Me Doja is a one-photo AI video template that puts your character into a bashful anime-style sway. The scene is set up for you, and the tested 480p vertical clip runs about 14 seconds.
In the example, a man with a pompadour, a handlebar mustache and a dark pinstripe suit stares into the camera. A few seconds later, the same serious-looking character has his palms on his cheeks and is swaying with a grin.

The template is fan-made. Use an original character you have the right to use, your own image or a consenting adult’s photo.
Talk To Me Doja is a November 2026 TikTok trend where people copy an anime character’s bashful, hands-to-cheeks sway to a sped-up cut of Doja Cat’s “Like That.”
The anime character is Urara Shiraishi from episode 1 of Yamada-kun and the Seven Witches. Ryu Yamada is in her body during the scene, trying to act bashful when a classmate asks her out. See the series on Crunchyroll.
The sound is a sped-up edit of “Like That,” Doja Cat’s collaboration with Gucci Mane on Hot Pink. Song credits from Sony Music.

In our 14-second example, the suited character backs away from the camera with a straight face for about six seconds. He then cups his cheeks and sways with two anime insets on screen. Near the end he drops his hands and grins.
