Our hero, a young samurai whose liege lord died in battle not long after Usagi entered his service. Now masterless, he [[Walking the Earth|walks the earth]], occasionally hiring himself out as a bodyguard (hence the title), honing his skill as a warrior and meeting lots of interesting people. Usagi is kind and honorable almost to a fault, but has a trickster streak as well. |

Usagi's [[Mr. Vice Guy|less morally upright]] friend, a bounty hunter who cheats Usagi out of money the first few times they meet (which later becomes a running joke between them). He's more interested in preserving his gruff image than his samurai honor, but is not as callous as he pretends. |
