On the Usagi Yojimbo character page at http://www.tvtropes.org, they list Kitsune as Chaotic Good. Myself, I'd go with Chaotic Evil for Jei, given that he kills virtually everyone he meets.

I love this list! Jei is one of my favorite characters in the whole UY saga, and I've heard that his origin story was finally done in (I think) volume 24? Aside from the books listed (3, 6, 9-12, 14, 16, 18, 20), has Jei/'Jeizuma' shown up anywhere else of late? And what's become of Inazuma and Keiko?

Information request: WW2 Katanas and their return

Something I've heard only rumors about for several years now is that there are supposed to be organizations in both Japan and America that seek out artifact-quality katanas taken as prizes of war back in WW2 and return them to the families of their original owners in Japan. Does anyone here know any...

I have a copy of the DVD, and while I like it -- it's good to own copies of The H-Man and Mothra -- I wish they'd done as much with them as has been done with the Tokyo Shock Toho flicks like The Mysterians or the recent Showa Godzilla film set, where they included mini-documentaries about the films...

That's a great job on Kitsune. She looks cute hiding behind that Inari mask.

Welcome :) I think Thomas has pretty much summed everything up there. About the only point left to add is that she does check this place out occasionally ;) http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1408/621230547_332f55e1a1.jpg I love it! If I may know, just where did you get that pic from Mister Sakai? I'm ...

I remember two shows titled Space Giants and Johnny Sokko and his Giant Robot. Good old fashioned monster-smashing fun!

Manga/Films about early Japanese history

HI all, Does anyone know of any manga or films that center on Japan's history pre-samurai and Mongol invasions and whatnot? I've heard something about a series by Osamu Tezuka titled Phoenix , I believe, that has a few volumes covering early Japan -- but verification woud be appreciated. Thanks all.

What is that beast in the top picture? Inugami, doesn't that mean 'Dog (something)'? It certainly looks canine, at any rate.

Kitsune Appearances

Hi all, long time reader of Usagi (still have Critters no. 1 ), first time poster to this forum, and I really only have one main question: Can someone please tell me which of the collected books feature Kitsune, the lovely entertainer/thief? She is far and away my favorite character in the entire se...
