Usagi's family.

Post by gr007 »

Hi everybody. Could some help me out. I have been reading Usagi since back in the day. But I can not find any mention of Usagi's father or mother or any of his family. If I have missed something could you put me out of my misery. Thanks. :?

The only person from his family who has ever been mentioned and/or shown is his father, who was the village elder at the time, a position later inherited by Kenichi. Gained though by virtue of Hikiji murdering Usagi's father on the way to the Battle at Adachigahara Plain. No mention of his mother or any siblings has been made iirc.

If you don't have it, buy the collected book #1 as it contains all the very early stories relating to such matters.

Actually Book 2 is where they explain Usagi's past.

... and in the story "Homecoming", which is reprinted in Book 1, we are informed about the circumstances of the death of Usagi's father and how Kenichi came to be his successor as town magistrate... :wink:

Ahh yes forgot about that one. But Book 2 goes more into depth on Usagi's past and his dad.

It would be nice though to have some mention of Usagi's mom.
