Usagi Yojimbo DojoBoard

Is there any chance that the Lord Ito mentioned in the solicit for the Ice Runners story (issue of Usagi following the 200 Buddhas) is the same Lord Ito engaged to Tomoe? If so...interesting! I wonder what Usagi will make of him....and of course Hikiji will be in this mix somehow....

wow, good point there..I didn't realize the same name...could be something that stirrs this story up so much more in the larger picture!...
but then again, Ito might probably been a often given name in 17th century japan...I don't know..I just suspect...for the shortness of the name's sake..
