He flat out says it stands for, "Rabbit bodyguard" in the OT. Either him or Splinter says that.

Be that as it may, they still got his name wrong.

"Usagi Yojimbo" is the name of the book, and it can be used as a name + title. Like "Bob the Plumber". Usagi does mean rabbit but in this case, it's his name. Yojimbo - a ronin bodyguard - is his "job".

If I remember correctly (and I may not be), they referred to him as this exclusively in the '87 toon. Both action figures made of him under the Turtles' line were also named Usagi Yojimbo.

Maybe in a cgi style cartoon where the characters look like dolls and it would be in the style of the Taiwanese show, "Pili drama"



just something that just screams japanese without looking "anime"

also

Aw, man, that sucks that Usagi isn't appearing, but at least we've been given confirmation about it. I'd like to see him show up in the future if at all possible though.

Aw crap. Well, guess it could happen one of these days. Looking forward to the latter half of season 2 and beyond. Wondering if the other episodes are going to take place during Summer. Still holding out for new eps in April and May, however.

Ah, figures. I wondered why TMNT.com would be the ONLY site with this news. Usually if it's something that big, they'd make a formal announcement on Entertainment Weekly or something.

It's a possibility, but seeing that Peter isn't onboard the TMNT ride anymore, I doubt Stan is all that interested to have his character portrayed in the franchise anymore.

He could also change his mind later, or he just confirmed the rumor as false because Usagi isn't appearing in season 3 or 4 but later. It's all speculation, but. What is leaning on the more certain side is Stan's own words.

Am I the only one who don't care about Usagi showing up or not? Never liked of the character. But for those who like, it's really a shame.

How can you not like Usagi? He's one of the most amazing comic book characters ever created.

I never read the comic book, I only know him by tmnt cartoons, and in it, never caught my atention, by the contrary, the eps that had him in it, were boring for me.

I don't hate him, but don't like either.

I kinda feel the same way....I don't hate him or anything I just don't really care for him.

for me though...I didn't like the way he looked (I know...sad reason XD)

Really? The eps he's in during the OT and 4kids series are some of the series best episodes. The Battle Nexus episodes, the one where Leo goes to Usagi's World, Usagi and Gen coming to NYC. All excellent episodes.
