Mountain Goat Character?

Hi Guys, I need help. I am a long time fan of Usagi Yojimbo and love the characters and art work. I trained with an Aikido group in England that used a Usagi like character as a mascot of sorts. I now live in Colorado and have a new dojo starting up here and would like to have a new mascot for t-shirts , signs that sort of thing. I have an idea for a mountain goat in kekogi and hakama, but am wondering if there is a character that already exists. I looked through my collection of books, but to no avail. I can't find any. Can I stop looking? Any help would be greatly appreciated. thank, Keith

The only major goat character is, of course, the Lone Goat... with the kid ;)

Yeah, that's not exactly what I am looking for, or the kid for that matter. Maybe it just exists in my own minds eye. I better get drawing!

I'll put a shaggy Rocky Mountain mountain goat in UY 133 just for you. Look fast, 'cause it will be a small cameo.

Ha ha haha, REALLY?! That's fantastic, I can't wait to see. Thank you for your kindness. I have been drawing up a possible Mountain Goat Aikidoka... but my skills are a bit rusty. If I come up with something I can use I will post it.

Again, I am blown away by your attention and kindness, Thank you Stan. Keith

Found him!

I just received issue #133 and couldn't wait to open it. I found the goat rather quickly, then went back to take in the whole story at my leisure.
Thank you Stan! Loved it.
We are still in search of an appropriate mascot for our Dojo, I'll post a pic when I get one.
Your the best Stan!

Can I get a few Shiba Inu in an issue? I've had three now and I adore them, although they do run the house. Have they appeared before?

Only joking around, that was a stellar gesture to add the goat Sensei! :D
