WHO IS STAN SAKAI'S BEST-LOVED CHARACTER?

+ Of course it's his white rabbit samurai character Usagi Yojimbo. And to commemorate its 25th anniversary, Dark Horse comics will be releasing an all-new plush toy created by Sakai himself. The figure will stand 14 inches tall and will be available to purchase May 5, 2010 for $24.99.

+ BACKGROUND: "Usagi Yojimbo is a long-running comic set in seventeenth-century Japan, with anthropomorphic animals replacing humans, featuring the lovable rabbit ronin, Miyamoto Usagi, who wanders the land as a shugyosha (student warrior on a pilgrimage), occasionally selling his services as a yojimbo (bodyguard). Usagi Yojimbo is one of the most celebrated ongoing comics, adored by critics and fans of all ages for the last twenty-five years." Via UsagiYojimbo
