About the Author

Stan Sakai was born in Kyoto, Japan, grew up in Hawaii, and now lives in California with his children, Hannah and Matthew. He received a fine arts degree from the University of Hawaii and did further studies at the Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, California. His creation, Usagi Yojimbo, is the story of a samurai rabbit living in a feudal Japan populated by anthropomorphic animals. It first appeared in Albedo Comics in 1984. Since then, Usagi has appeared on television as a guest of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles; and as toys, on clothing, in comic books, and in a series of trade paperback collections. In 1991, Stan created Space Usagi, the adventures of a descendant of the original Usagi, dealing with the samurai in a futuristic setting. Stan is also an award-winning letterer for his work on Sergio Aragonés's Groo: The Wanderer, the Spider-Man Sunday newspaper strips, as well as for Usagi Yojimbo. He is the recipient of a Parents' Choice Award, an Inkpot Award, multiple Eisner Awards, two Spanish Haxturs, an American Library Association Award, and a National Cartoonists' Society Division Award. Usagi Yojimbo Book 12: Grasscutter was used as a textbook in Japanese history classes at the University of Portland.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Sakai began his career by simply lettering comic books as he perfected his art and began working in the industry.

He also wrote and illustrated The Adventures of Nilson Groundthumper and Hermy; a comic series with a medieval setting, influenced by Sergio Aragones's Groo the Wanderer. The characters first appeared in Albedo #1 in 1984, and were subsequently featured in issues of Critters, GrimJack, Amazing Heroes and Furrlough. Stan Sakai became famous with the creation of Usagi Yojimbo, the epic saga of Miyamoto Usagi, a samurai rabbit living in late-sixteenth and early-seventeenth-century Japan.

Usagi Yojimbo, first published in 1984, continues to this day.

It progresses with Stan Sakai as the lone author and nearly sole artist (Tom Luth serves as the main colorist on the series, and Sergio Aragonés has made two small contributions to the series: the story "Broken Ritual" is based on an idea by Aragonés, and he served as a guest inker for the black-and-white version of the story "Return to Adachi Plain" that is featured in the Volume 11 trade paperback edition of Usagi Yojimbo). He also created a futuristic spinoff series Space Usagi.[10] His favorite movie is Satomi Hakkenden (1959). The Japanese American National Museum in Los Angeles's Little Tokyo presented an exhibit entitled "Year of the Rabbit: Stan Sakai's Usagi Yojimbo" from July 9 through October 30, 2011.

Sakai wrote and illustrated the story "I'm Not in Springfield Anymore!" for Bart Simpson's Treehouse of Horror #7 and illustrated the back cover of Treehouse of Horror #6. Sakai was the artist for Riblet, the back-up feature in the trade paperback of Stupid, Stupid Rat Tails.In 2013, Sakai illustrated the limited comic book series 47 Ronin, an adaptation of the famed story of the 47 Ronin written by Dark Horse Comics Publisher Mike Richardson and with Lone Wolf and Cub writer Kazuo Koikeas an editorial consultant. He resides in Pasadena, California.

5.0 out of 5 stars Still great quality stories over all of these years
Reviewed in the United States on November 14, 2016

In high school, I was an avid comic book collector. At the time it was mostly Marvel comics that I was interested in. However, one comic caught my eye, and it was Usagi Yojimbo which was then published by Fantographic. I recently saw these show up as a suggested buy by Amazon, and my nostalgia kicked in. Apparently in the 20+ years, Stan has made the switch to Dark Horse comics. These 'Saga' volumes are releases of Stan's Dark Horse output. Still great quality stories over all of these years.

The prices on these from Amazon are great. For ~$25 each, you get 650 pages of comics and toasts from other people in the business giving Stan his well deserved accolades.

If you have made it this far from these new releases, you know what to expect. Just more great Usagi stories.

I am one of the hugest fans of Stan Sakai's Usagi stories. I have every collection that has been put out and buy the monthly comic, too. The stories and art are top notch and I think just about anyone can find something to like here!

4.0 out of 5 stars Why most of the comics are sent damaged?
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on April 26, 2020

I have recently discovered Usagi Yojimbo comics and I must admit I’ve instantly became addicted. The only one complain I have is why do those books come so ill packaged? Book 7 came all marked and scratched at the back, which is a shame as it was bought as new. I’ll read it nevertheless, but from collectors’ point of view it’s really disappointing, therefore I have knocked one star on the score.
