One of my favourite comic books, Usagi Yojimbo by Stan Sakai - the adventures of a lone samurai (ronin) rabbit, based loosely on the legendary swordsman Miyamoto Musashi and being heavily influenced by Akira Kurasawa's 1960 film Yojimbo - has been brought to life as a Dark Horse Comics Motion Comic.
Once a loyal retainer until his lord's death in battle, Miyamoto Usagi
is now an unemployed ronin walking the warrior's pilgrimage, in search
of harmony. In this tale, Usagi teaches a runaway boy that honor is more
important to a samurai than fighting skills, but his swordsmanship ends
up on display anyway when the boy accidentally sets a gang of bandits
on him!
