Kotoku Wamura was the mayor of a village in Japan called Fudai. He spent billions of Japanese Yen on a floodgate that was criticized as a waste of public funds. He died in 1997, with the mockery of his floodgate casting a shadow over his legacy. In 2011, Japan was hit by an earthquake and tsunami, killing tens of thousands of people and damaging hundreds of thousands buildings all over the country. Except in Fudai. Wamura's floodgate effectively protected Fudai's citizens, leaving the village virtually untouched. In fact, the village barely got wet.
