Character ages

Post by richarddragon »

Hi, everyone,

I couldn't find a topic covering this lingering doubt of mine, so I thought I should bring it up: how old do you think each character is (at least roughly)?

My estimates would be:

Gorogoro - 4/5
Jotaro, Kyoko, Keiko - 10/11
Lord Noriyuki - 12/14
Kitsuné, Chizu - late 20's
Tomoe Ame - she screams 26 to me. Dunno why. Lol
Usagi, Mariko, Kenichi, Inazuma - early 30's
Gen, Stray Dog - about my age (late 30's) :D
Sanshobo, Ikeda - late 40's
Yagi - early 50's
Inspector Ishida - early 60's
Katsuichi-sensei - pushing 80 now.
Sasuké - mid 650's
Jei - a couple thousand, give or take

Any corrections/further suggestions?

There was a discussion a few years ago, might have been more recently, about pegging roughly how old Usagi was based on the time frames in the comics to date, and some information from Stan about the passing of time and the issues published in general, and I guess how old Jotaro is. The conclusion was that we thought Usagi was around 28 or 29, yes Mariko was a teen mom heh. Usagi went into service for Lord Mifune at about 17 or 18, and became a ronin around 21.

Yes, I remember that discussion. I think I even found it. But it only pertains to Usagi and Jotaro, doesn't it?
