The USAGI YOJIMBO DOJO has
almost everything a UY fan could want in a web site, so be sure to visit.
My all time favorite movie. Link over and
check out some graphics and facts about Akira Kurosawa's "Seven Samurai".
Hayashibara does anime voices for Ranma 1/2 and others too. She has a very
wide range of ability when it comes to her singing. From here you can link to a page dedicated to her which has newsletters, graphics,
and a free internet fan club for you to become a part of.
Usagi YoJimbo is a wonderful comic authored and drawn by Stan Sakai which is
currently published by Dark Horse Comics.
UY has appeared along with the Teenage Mutant Ninga Turtles on various occasions and
was first seen in a comic book called "Albedo" and then appeared in some issuses of "Critters".
Then UY got his own series which was done in black and white for about 38 or so issuses by
"Fantagraphics" before the comic was picked up by "Mirage" and done in color.
Now he is with Dark Horse for awhile, but you have to remember that Usagi YoJimbo
is a masterless samurai and never stays in one place too long.
which is pronounced "POORU RANGU".
