When you were a kid, did you think Usagi Yojimbo was a TMNT character? - Page 2

I had always thought he was a TMNT character and only discovered within the past year that he had his own comic series.

Well, until this site, I just thought he was that rabbit that was apart of TMNT, so, yes. I learned his name from being here.

I'm not going to lie - when I was a kid I thought he was just a side character for the TMNT series. I was about... -thinks- 4 maybe. Can't really remember. I'm sure I was a little older than that though depending on when he first showed up in the classic toon.

However when I got older and realized that wasn't the case - I got hooked on the Usagi Yojimbo comics.

I originally discovered Usagi in the comics so it wasn't until later that I found out he had appeared in TMNT toy and toon form.

Also: Panda Khan was not originally a TMNT character.

He wasn't?? I never realized that. Did he too come from comics? I'd love to check one out if so.

Wow you're right! And a little more research reveals that he was indeed going to appear in the cartoon just like Usagi:

The reason for Li Yang’s (the Panda Khan's) inclusion into the TMNT Playmates Toys fold aside from creator’s Dave Garcia and Monica Sharp’s friendship and association with Mirage Studios was also that at some point P.K. was to appear in the original TMNT cartoon show, similar to the effect of the deal made with Stan Sakai and the now iconic cross-over history that Usagi Yojimbo and his friends have had with the TMNT.

Wow... I never knew Panda Khan was planned for the cartoon too. O_O

I first learned of Usagi Yojimbo through the TMNT cartoon and assumed he was a character in it, before learning in a comic book shop that he was a separate character. In fact, I was reluctant to pick up the Usagi Yojimbo comic in the shop because the cartoon depicted him as such an imbecile. I did pick up that comic after seeing the movie "Monty Python And The Holy Grail", and those who have also seen it will know why. The letter column of the Usai Yojimbo comic did contain a number of complaints about how he was depicted in the TMNT cartoon, and if I were Stan Sakai, I would have been displeased at that depiction too.
