	Usagi Yojimbo creator comes back to where it all began
		Long before the invasion of manga, cartoonist Stan Sakai was wooing American readers with Usagi Yojimbo, his epic series about a rabbit ronin, or masterless samurai, in 17th-century Japan.
		Sakai, 52, grew up in the assembly-line tradition of comic books, in which a comic is farmed out to various artists for penciling, inking, lettering and coloring.
		Stan Sakai's epic Usagi Yojimbo series debuted in Seattle in 1984, and since has gained a following around the world -- except in Japan.

	Interview with Stan Sakai (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		Sakai: Oh, let's see, we were friends for years and years, and one day he came up to me and said, "I'm starting a comic book; do you want to letter it?" And I said "sure." [laughter] I had never lettered a comic book before, professionally, so pretty much I learned while I did it.
		Getting back to Usagi for a minute, I noticed that the way you deal with violence is that you don't shy away from it, but at the same time your comics are not gory, and parents can still feel comfortable about letting children read it.
		Sakai: When you're dealing with feudal Japan and the samurai warriors, you also have to deal with the violence, That's pretty much just a fact of life back then.

	Comic Book Resources - CBR News: Milestones: Stan Sakai talks “Usagi Yojimbo” #100 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		Though Sakai does a tremendous amount of research into feudal Japan and Japanese legends for "Usagi Yojimbo," fans are quick to point out anachronisms and factual errors.
		Sakai, who grew up in Hawaii and studied art at the University of Hawaii, says that his art is "more European or western style than Japanese," though he grew up surrounded by Japanese culture and cites samurai films, especially those of Akira Kurosawa, as an influence.
		Sakai always wanted to draw, and for him, "comics is ideal." Working from his home studio in Pasadena, California, Sakai enjoys the autonomy of a creator-owned book."Whatever I send in is printed with no editorial input," he said.

	Stan Sakai Talks Usagi Yojimbo
		The perfect blend between entertaining and serious, Usagi Yojimbo by Stan Sakai takes, in this staffer's opinion, only the best elements from the genres of funny-animal comics, historical period samurai stories, and mythology-based fantasy stories, with the emphasis on the samurai.
		It's an indie title that, currently enjoying a lengthy and successful stay with Dark Horse, is an example of how non-superhero comics can find their audience and flourish.
		Stan Sakai: Anthropomorphic just means to give human qualities to other animate or even inanimate objects.
