This man is my g0ddamn hero.

Badass of the Week: Hideaki Akaiwa

I'd pull an excerpt, but none of the parts seem to lend themselves to an expression of the whole. How about...

Quote:
Of course, even if this dude didn't know how to work the gear I'm certain that wouldn't have stopped him either – Hideaki wasn't going to let a pair of soul-crushing natural disasters deter him from doing awesome ♥♥♥♥♥ and saving his family.

How the **** Hideaki Akaiwa got a hold of a wetsuit and a set of SCUBA gear is one of the great mysteries of the world.
I lol'd so hard!
