Hideaki Akaiwa, a Japanese surfer from Ishinomaki, one of the towns worst hit by the tsunami on 11 March, apparently donned scuba gear and dived into the raging torrent to look for his missing wife. After swimming through swirling debris that included whole houses and cars, fallen electricity pylons and any number of things that could have killed him instantaneously, he found her and brought her out. Then, like the title says, he went back for his mum before going looking for everyone else.
The description of events on Badass of the Week really captures what a badass this guy is.
