Fujio Akatsuka(赤塚不二夫) is one of manga legends in Japan.
He left many great works, but I'd like to introduce his heartwarming episode.

Fujio Akatsuka handed an original manuscript to an editor just before deadline.
However, a big trouble waited them.
Editor: "I left and lost your manuscript on a taxi."
He went back with pale. He couldn't contact with a taxi driver.
But, he had to hand the manuscript to a printing office.
They were be in a real fix!!
However, Fujio Akatsuka didn't get mad.
Fujio Akatsuka: "I have a rough and can still draw again."
What do you think Fujio Akatsuka said next?
Fujio Akatsuka: "We still have a time. Go for a drink!!"
These words surely come from his generosity for the editor.
He again drew the same manuscript and handed it to the editor.
Fujio Akatsuka: "This is the second. So, I can draw pretty better before."
There is more to this.
The lost manuscript was sent from the taxi company to Fujio Akatsuka after one week.
Fujio Akatsuka: " Keep it!! Not to repeat the same mistake."
The editor had kept this manuscript to keep in mind not to do so again.
