Usagi Yojimbo (TV Series)

Usagi Yojimbo (兎用心棒 Usagi Yōjinbō, "rabbit bodyguard") is an American action-adventure TV series based on the comic book of the same name. While having a lot of elements from the modern day, such as large cities and some modern technology, the series is mostly based in a feudal Japan setting. The series takes a lot of inspiration from anime and manga much like the original comic it is based on.
