One of Japan’s most famous characters, Kamen Rider, still stands tall and mighty even after being hit by a 10 meter tsunami.

Ishinomaki in Miyagi, the hometown to Kamen Rider and a city hit by the tsunami, has a statue that shows Kamen Rider is not defeated.

Buildings around the city are left in shambles, but the masked rider stands tall and gives courage and hope to those who fell victim to the terrifying events.
