Hello!

Thanks

I would like to see Usagi go to China or Korea too...or even Paris!

YEAH...I would love to see Stan's view of Europe.

Not yet. Stan has been reluctant to have Usagi visit outside of Japan for historical reasons (17th-Century Japan being a heavily isolated country). It may actually never happen. However, Stan does have a story in the works featuring a Chinese character who visits Japan.

As far as Stan's view of historical Europe...just check out Nilson Groundthumper and Hermy. These characters exist within the same anthropomophic universe as Usagi , although it is unknown as to the time period in which Nilson and Hermy lived. They may have lived hundreds of years earlier than Usagi. A crossover is also in the works... but it may be years before we ever see it (Stan, I am still waiting.....

It would be pretty cool to see a story told in flashback or something similar set during the Japanese invasion of Korea in the late 16th-century prior to the establishment of the Shogunate. A story featuring Usagi's father or uncle, or maybe a young Katsuichi or Lord Mifune?

Now with his country secured, he (Toyotomi Hideyoshi) began the Battle of Bunroku to annex Korea. On April 1592, his generals invaded Korea. Within a month, the Japanese controlled almost the entire country. However, the Koreans soon rebelled, aided by the Chinese Ming dynasty. Resistance led by Yi Sun-shin forced the Japanese army to retreat from Korea on December, 1592. Unsatisfied, in 1596 Hideyoshi unwisely attempted to invade Korea again in the Battle of Keicho. This time the Japanese encountered a well-prepared joint defence of Korea and China. The result was a stalemate. In 1598 Hideyohi died. The Japanese army withdrew and the battle ended.
