This afternoon, while coming back from the University - I wasn't even thinking of Usagi at this time, just watching the landscape by the bus window 
- I accidentally found one more pointless and far-fetched argument which complicates things even farther.
This time, I really don't know how to make everything hold together, so the following reasoning is pure hairsplitting. As Musashi and Todd pointed out, Usagi is partly fantasy. Still...
But, hey, it's my unconscious who did all the work. It's him you should blame.
Here it is :
1. The duel at Kitanoji logically takes place at the end of Fall 1605, few months after the events of Grasscutter, one year approximately after the duel between Usagi and Nakamura Koji.
2. Jotaro, being born in 1598, is then 7 years old.
3. Katsuichi says to Usagi (at the end of Book 17) : "He is exactly like you when you were his age."
4. What the heck does it mean ? That Usagi knew Katsuichi when he was 7 ? It's impossible ! Is Katsuichi losing memory ? Should we blame Alzheimer's disease ?
Or should we blame Usagi's father, who sent his son and Kenichi to the Dogora Fencing School years before they could receive their topknots ?
Maybe the kids were much too rowdy and boisterous, as Katsuichi's comment suggests. This was a fairly honourable way to oust them from the village, I suppose.
I also have a theory involving extraterrestrial abductions and time warps, but that's a little bit more complicated, I fear.

Perhaps Katsuichi did know of Usagi when he was 7. In Usagi's Garden, Usagi did say, "The villagers give us some of their surplus produce in exchange for your (Katsuichi's) advice and help against marauders." Katsuichi may have been a hermit but people did know of him, and he did have interaction with the villages in the area.Cosmo wrote:

He may have noticed a rascal like Usagi.

Okay, things are clearer now. But then, it's strange that Usagi didn't notice Katsuichi earlier, inquisitive as he is
Plus, if Katsuichi has interacted with villagers, Usagi's father, as the magistrate of the town, must have been insightful enough to guess something about this very special hermit.
Perhaps an agreement, tacit or not, took place betwen the two about the raising of Usagi. Was the encounter between Usagi and Katsuichi totally coincidental ? It would be an interesting story to tell, methinks.
