Pardon me for asking, but who is Kojima? I've only read the Dark Horse reprints.

Pardon me for asking, but who is Kojima? I've only read the Dark Horse reprints.

Goseki Kojima was the artist of Lone Wolf and Cub, Path of the Assassin, Samurai Executioner, Bohachi Bushido, and a bunch of other samurai themed manga, most with Kazuo Koike as the writer.

EDIT:
Sorry, wrong Kojima.
Kojima, the assassin from Samurai Tourist, was a TMNT character created for the episode, even though he really looks like he should be one of Stan's characters.

It sure would be neat if Stan swiped him and incorporated him into an actual Usagi Yojimbo story.

Thanks.^^ I wondered why I hadn't heard of him before the episode.

My experience with UY is entirely taken from TMNT and the Dark Horse collections, so I figured he must be from the Fantagrafics collections or an issue not part of a collection yet.
