In addition, when force is called for, he has formidable fighting skills to call upon using his standard police weapon, the jutte, although he is allowed to also carry a katana.Ishida first appeared in "The Hairpin Murders". Those faculties are invaluable in difficult cases like murder where intensive examinations of dead bodies like an autopsy are taboo. He is quiet in his manner, but highly observant and astute in his reasoning. Ishida, however is a steadfastly honest officer with a deep commitment to the cause of justice, regardless of who the criminals are.
He is a police detective in a large city whose government was corrupted by at least two villains until recently. As Max Allan Collins points out in the introduction to Usagi Yojimbo Book 13: Grey Shadows, Inspector Ishida is, like the real Chang Apana, a more hardboiled character than the mild-mannered Charlie Chan from the novels by Earl Derr Biggers and the subsequent film adaptations.
Inspector Ishida is based on real-life Honolulu policeman Chang Apana, who was also the model for the fictional detective Charlie Chan. He first appears as a enigmatic and stern bounty hunter who is hunting for his sister to bring her home to her forgiving father. However, he secretly is a beloved benefactor of an orphanage, and his apparent greediness is partially based on his desire to raise funds for its cause. Inukai ( Stray Dog) - A bounty hunter who is notorious for his ruthlessness and his surly mistrust of others, especially samurai. He is never named, but is often seen skulking about in the shadows, looking for a quick gold coin most often, this involves finding someone with a bounty on their head, and alerting a bounty hunter to their location, for a fee. The Informer - A small hooded man with an unquenchable thirst for money. Her name (稲妻 in kanji) means "lightning." She is the widow of a samurai, and is one of the fiercest swordswomen in the series, easily matching or besting many of the other characters in fighting skill unlike other characters, Inazuma's skill with a sword is almost all natural talent, as opposed to years of training. Much later, Gunichi and usagi faced each other for the last time, and Usagi slew him for his betrayal. The two enjoyed a close comradeship that ended at the Battle of Aichi Plain when Gunichi deserted his lord in battle over Usagi's objections. When that duel was interrupted by rival swordsmen lying in ambush, they fought them off together and Gunichi was impressed enough with Usagi's skill to call a draw to their fight and recommend him for his Lord's service. 
That opinion changed when he confronted the rabbit after his training was completed and challenged him to a duel as a test. He first meet Usagi when he was a little boy returning a wakizashi to a dead soldier on the battlefield and did not think much of him.
Gunichi - A samurai in service of Lord Mifune who was a skilled swordsman with masterful control of the blade. Lord Hebi appeared in the 2003 TMNT cartoon, in episodes The Real World, Part 1 and Samurai Tourist, voiced by Sean Schemmel. He is a large snake, several times the size of any other character in the series, and despite not having any arms or legs, he is an awesome fighter, using his size and large teeth to his advantage. Lord Hebi, a ruthless daimyo loyal to Lord Hikiji, often directs Hikiji's plots. She has met Usagi several times and even has developed a crush on him, but their respective senses of duty prevent them from traveling together.Ĭhizu appears in the 2003 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles series' episode "The Real World, Part I" as a field leader of the Neko Ninja. Upon her brother's death she briefly succeeded him as the clan's leader, but internal power struggles eventually drove her into exile. 
Chizu, a member of the Neko Ninja and the sister of Shingen.( Tomoe Ame is also a brand of Japanese candy.) She is a samurai of the Geishu clan and serves as Lord Noriyuki's personal bodyguard and closest advisor. Ame Tomoe (雨ともえ?) is loosely based on the famous female samurai, Tomoe Gozen.This list of Usagi Yojimbo characters features characters from the Usagi Yojimbo comic book.
