+
+## What are Linkerd Heroes?
+
+Linkerd Heroes are community members who best represent the spirit of the
+Linkerd community. Whether it's helping others, answering questions, sharing
+their successes (and failures!) with the world at large, or contributing code
+or docs, Linkerd Heroes are instrumental in making the Linkerd community the
+amazing place it is today.
+
+## Congrats, Takumi Sue!
+
+This month's hero is [Takumi Sue](https://github.com/mikutas). Over the past
+three years, Takumi has regularly contributed fixes to Linkerd’s code base.
+From CLI fixes to Helm template and control plane changes, Takumi has
+positively impacted the project. Thank you for being such a prolific
+contributor and dedicating your time to making Linkerd an even more awesome
+project!
