Usagi Yojimbo is one of the longest running and best-loved comic adventures of all time. Running from 1984 to the present day, and showing no sign of diminishing in popularity, the rabbit ronin is now seen as a figurehead of the comic book scene, and crucial to bringing the ideas of feudal Japan to a wider western audience. Roaming an anthropomorphic version of feudal Japan, the rabbit samurai has no master, but takes on tasks from any aggrieved animals he encounters - always ensuring he sticks to the noble way of the samurai. Rated AR - All Readers: Material appropriate for any age. Little or no violence, no foul language, nudity or adult situations.
Stan Sakai was born in Kyoto, Japan, grew up in Hawaii, and now lives in California. He received a Fine Arts degree from the University of Hawaii, and did further studies at the Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, California. His creation, "Usagi Yojimbo," is the story of a samurai rabbit living in a feudal Japan populated by anthropomorphic animals. It first appeared in Albedo Comics in 1984. Since then, Usagi has been on television as a guest of the "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles," and as toys, on clothing, in comic books, and in a series of trade paperback collections. In 1991, Stan created "Space Usagi," the adventures of a descendant of the original "Usagi," dealing with the samurai in a futuristic setting. Stan is also an award-winning letterer for his work on Sergio Aragones' "Groo the Wanderer," the "Spider-Man Sunday" newspaper strips as well as "Usagi Yojimbo." He is the recipient of a Parents' Choice Award, an Inkpot Award, multiple Eisner Awards, two Spanish Haxturs, an American Library Association Award, and a National Cartoonists' Society Division Award. "Usagi Yojimbo Book 12: Grasscutter" was used as a textbook in Japanese history classes at the University of Portland. The author lives in Pasadena, CA."
