Usagi Yojimbo DojoBoard

Stan Sakai talks about why he chose a Rabbit for Usagi Yojimbo, his hatred of drawing horses (which is why Usagi is always walking everywhere), he also goes into how he chooses animals for his characters. There is an update on Sharon, Stan’s wife who is dealing with a brain tumour at this time and the Sakai Project, a book featuring drawings of Usagi Yojimbo by many of the top artists in the industry that will go towards Sharon’s care. Diana had asked for some questions via facebook prior to the panel and asked some of them at the panel. They also talked about Stan’s other work, including his Usagi Yojimbo: Senso, which puts Usagi 20 years in the future.
