::'''Miyamoto Usagi'''
[[File:Usagi_Yojimbo_119_5727.jpg|link=Usagi Yojimbo|rightframe|It's not a fair fight. Those guys are doomed.]]
 
 
Line 15:
* [[Ronin]]
* [[Scars Are Forever]] (Usagi has a scar above his eye (it looks like a [[Fascinating Eyebrow]]), which he got trying to protect his lord from Lord Hikiji)
* [[Shout -Out]]: His name "Miyamoto Usagi" is one to famed Samurai/Ronin/Author of The Book of Five Rings "Miyamoto Musashi".
 
::'''Tomoe Ame'''
Line 27:
* [[Red Oni, Blue Oni]]: Blue Oni to Noriko's Red Oni.
* [[Ship Tease]] (with Usagi. {{spoiler|By the time of "The Mother of Mountains", they became actual lovers, though Usagi's travels and Tomoe's upcoming arranged marriage have made the future of such a relationship iffy.}} )
* [[You Go, Girl!]] (she's had to prove more than once that she's capable despite being female)
 
::'''Murakami Gennosuké'''
Line 41:
* [[Red Oni, Blue Oni]]: Red Oni to Usagi's Blue.
* [[Ronin]]
* [[Shout -Out]]: The [[Perma Stubble]] and general attitude make him the in-universe version of "Sanjuro", ([[Toshiro Mifune]]'s character from [[Akira Kurosawa]]'s ''Yojimbo'' and ''Sanjuro'', Mifune also played Miyamoto Musashi, for a different director).
* [[Short Cuts Make Long Delays]] (Gen's do, at least)
* [[Vitriolic Best Buds]] (he and Usagi start out this way)
Line 101:
* [[Action Girl]]
* [[The Drifter]]
* {{spoiler|[[Dying Asas Yourself]]}}
* [[Fighting From the Inside]]
* [[Instant Expert]]: How she took up swordplay.
Line 111:
A middle-aged detective, highly competent but sometimes hampered by corrupt superiors. He and Usagi have solved several murder mysteries together.
 
* [[Friend Onon the Force]]
* [[The Last DJ]]
 
Line 123:
* [[Pet the Dog]]
* [[Ronin]]
* [[Shout -Out]]: His name comes from a Kurosawa Film ''Nora Inu''. His secret heroic bit is directly from Manga wrestler ''Tiger Mask''.
 
::'''Yagi and Gorogoro/Lone Goat and Kid'''
Line 129:
Yagi is a grim but honorable [[Samurai]] who turned [[Career Killers|assassin]] after being framed for treason. He travels with his young son Gorogoro in a baby cart.
 
* [[Shout -Out]]: To [[Lone Wolf and Cub]], obviously.
* [[Walking the Earth]]
 
Line 135:
 
* [[A Child Shall Lead Them]]
* [[Pandaing to Thethe Audience]]
* [[Reasonable Authority Figure]]: Mostly. He is still a child.

Line 196:
A giant snake who's Lord Hikiji's second-in-command.
 
* [[Attack of the Fifty50 Foot Whatever]]: Lord Hebi is so huge he fights ninjas by ''picking them up with his mouth and hurling them to death''. Pretty good for a [[Incredibly Lame Pun|disarmed person]].
* [[Reptiles Are Abhorrent]]
 
Line 207:
* [[Glowing Eyes of Doom]]
* [[Implacable Man]]
* [[Incredibly Lame Pun]] / [[Shout -Out]]: if you attach the honorific "-san" to his name, it sounds like "Jason," aka the main villain of the [[Friday the Thirteenth13th]] movies, with whom he shares some traits (i.e. being an [[Implacable Man]] who constantly comes [[Back From the Dead]])
* [[Knight Templar]]
* [[Milky White Eyes]]
Line 229:
* [[It's Personal]]: He makes things personal between himself and Usagi by stealing Usagi's swords.
* [[Manipulative Bastard]]: Made the villagers build a wall around their village, supposedly to protect them from bandits, and then locked them up inside and forced them to work for him.
* [[Surrounded Byby Idiots]]: He has a low opinion of his lackeys.
* [[Villainous Breakdown]]: He has one when Usagi finally catches up with him after he steals his swords.
* [[They Call Me Mister Tibbs]]: Insists on being called "General".
Line 251:
Usagi's beloved lord, defeated by Lord Hikiji's forces. {{spoiler|The war was caused by Hikiji sending the Neko Ninja to murder his wife and child. Usagi personally decapitates his lord to ensure his head isn't used as a trophy}}.
