Are there a lot of Usagi Yojimbo fans in Japan?
(The Comics Journal #192 Interview, December 1996) Not really, not on a consistent basis. I would get a couple every so often but Usagi’s not translated in Japan. There’s never been an American comic book that has really made a big impact on the Japanese market. I was featured in a prominent Japanese magazine but aside from that, there’s been no response as far as the Japanese market goes.
