Miyamoto Usagi, also known as Usagi Yojimbo ("rabbit bodyguard"), is a ronin traveling the lands following the death of his lord.
Although a hit in the indie comics circuit for over 30 years whose comics continue to get praise even today for style and writing, Usagi is best known for his crossovers with the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, which were co-created by Stan's friend Peter Laird. Usagi has thus far crossed over with their original and IDW comic incarnations, three cartoon series, three action figure lines, and he also shows up as a bonus boss in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2: Battle Nexus as well as a playable character in TMNT Legends and the first announced DLC character for Shredder's Revenge.
Usagi has two known descendants seen in stories taking place long after his adventures: Terry Miyamoto, a female private detective, and a space-faring descendant that shares his name who stars in the Space Usagi stories; this character also saw his own action figure in the first TMNT action figure line.
