Stan Sakai, a Japanese-American, has been drawing the Usagi Yojimbo comic series for over 35 years.
Netflix announced on Wednesday that it will stream a new CG animated series titled Samurai Rabbit: The Usagi Chronicles, based on Stan Sakai’s Usagi Yojimbo comics.
Netflix teased that the series takes place in the far future and follows teenage Rabbit Samurai Yuichi, descendent of Usagi Yojimbo’s protagonist Miyamoto Usagi.
Sakai also collaborated with Dark Horse Comics president and founder Mike Richardson and Lone Wolf and Cub creator Kazuo Koike to create the 47 Ronin comic.
