One of the coolest stories I've heard in a long time

So, recently in Japan there's been 'Tiger Mask' donations. 

Well, not donations of Tiger masks, but some people going by the alias Naoto Date, which is the name of the character from a famous old Japanese cartoon called 'Tiger Mask'.  They have been donating school bags, food, clothes, and a bunch of other stuff all anonymously. 

It's kind of nice to see. 
Usually, politicians and other pseudo-philanthropists are always announcing their donations.  But, here in Japan, people usually hate attention.  Well, at least direct attention anyway.

So, there are a bunch of little do-gooders going around giving stuff to orphans and what not, all using the names of all Anime characters. 

You gotta admit, that's pretty cool.

Stay frosty!

  5. That's how you can tell the real difference between people who want to help and people who want publicity. I love the Japanese way of thinking, especially in this case where they only handle things with respect to themselves.
