This is wonderful! This is the kind of chain reaction we need more of all over the world. I hope the momentum continues. All because of one person inspired by a hero character, very good.

Tiger Mask and Joe? Awesome!
From the numbers it sounds like some other people are following the original man's idea, nice. Very Happy

I think it's our own HyugaHinata. He's got the coin and the heart to do it, so that's my guess.

Wow, I can't believe just how many people are giving (and how expensive the backpacks in Japan are), it's really touching to see so many people contribute.

We need Naoto Date, Joe, Momotaro, and others all around the world.
Others need to know about what they are doing so, more could be inspired by their works.

This is the greatest thing I have ever seen. Seriously, this is utterly fantastic.


Now we just need to make a show where a rhino-masked golfer cures cancer for children, then get an anime of it.

I hope that this inspires everyone to give to those less fortiunate than themselves.

I don't have a lot of money so I give blood (i have a rare blood type A-) But if you have money give to others and let Tiger Mask's kindness will spread across the world.

-sniffle- I... I just got something in both my eyes is all!!

Seriously, bless those people who are so kind and giving and are willing to spend all that money and thought for the children.

And I also now feel like reading/watching Tiger Mask and Ashita no Joe and that other one mentioned.

The Tiger Mask movement has officially started...come on, guys! We can't just sit back and get weepy over this, so let's all go follow in the footsteps of who ever these wonderful people are.

On another note, who else might we see pop up? I'm kinda thinking we might see an Ash Ketchum/Satoshi with a note saying something like "No matter what your history is, you can follow your dreams"...*sweatdrops* Am I reading too much into this?

Good people do good things. If only everyone were like these folks, we'd have a lot less problems.

Sadly, I've met plenty of people who'd steal the bags from the children's hands and spit on the food just for the hell of it. Sad

This is getting out of control. But it's a good version of getting out of control.
