I chose Other because it wasn't the TMNT cartoon that got me interested in Usagi, it was the Mirage comics with the Usagi crossovers. So I picked up the current UY issues at the comic shop.
Then if I remember it right, it was attending one of Stan's convention panels and then meeting him that finished me off. I had to get all the graphic novels for the back issues...

WOW! How is it? I've been looking for a good Commodore 64 emulator, and this is the best reason of all to double my efforts!

Although I first saw Usagi in the old TMNT cartoon, I didn't pay much regard to him and his comic until I started reading reviews of it at comic book websites like Sequential Tart and the Fourth Rail. Duel at Kitanoji Temple was my first proper exposure to the rabbit ronin (and my first UY graphic novel) and I've been hooked ever since :)

Probably best to start out with VICE then, as it is a fully windowed, drop down menu emulator. You can get the game from the GB64 link I provided. Just attach the disk image (when unzipped) and load.

(that's for the benefit of a lot of people who don't know how to load a disk from the C64 heh)
