Okawa Kunio, a mechanical designer who designed the mecha for the Gundam franchise, recently tweeted a picture of a Gundam machine to cheer up earthquake victims.

The picture shows a Gundam holding the Japanese flag with the words "Ganbare Nippon" (translates to "Do your best, Japan!") underneath. Okawa also included the comment, "Today, I am wishing well to the victims of the earthquake, tsunami, and nuclear explosions. Thank you to the people who are involved with the relief, and the people in the Japan Self-Defense Corps. Do your best, Japan. Do your best, Japan."

Okawa is continuing the trend of artists releasing artwork to encourage victims of the disaster, which we reported about previously�here and here. Many followers have left appreciative comments on Twitter in response to Okawa's art.
