Miyamoto Usagi (2012 TV series)

Miyamoto Usagi is an anthropomorphic rabbit samurai and ally of the. The Turtles are whisked away to his dimension, (in the episodes "Yojimbo", "Osoroshi no Tabi" and "Kagayakei! Kintaro") where he forges a close friendship with them; especially with Leonardo, as they are both levelheaded, quick-witted and highly skilled in "the ways of the sword."

History
Miyamoto Usagi was Lord Mifune's personal bodyguard in the battle against Lord Hikiji. Usagi believes his forces might have been victorious, had not a trusted general turned against Mifune. With Usagi having failed to protect his Lord's flank, the general killed him. In Usagi's grief, he became a ronin, roaming the land of feudal Japan.

Yojimbo
In his debut episode in the series, Usagi is first seen just after witnessing the wolf-demon Jei having murdered a family. Usagi berates Jei on how he could do something like that, calling him insane and a demon. Jei claims that his actions were justified, saying that they were infected with evil and the gods revealed their nature to him. Usagi proclaims that he has tracked him down to bring him to justice. As Usagi and Jei do battle, Jei continues to claim that the gods gave him his skill to cleanse this realm of evil, to which Usagi replies that he is the evil one. Just before Jei strikes him down, Usagi asks him who he is, to which he replies "I am Jei, the Blade of the Gods" and then disappears as he is stuck by lightning. He comes across a ransacked village and meets an extraordinary child by the name of Kintaro. He is tasked with protecting the boy from Jei until he finally realizes his own inherent superhuman abilities. Usagi accompanies the boy Kintaro, blessed with divine powers, on his way to a safe place until Jei brings the Turtles into their world to kill Usagi for him. While setting camp, Usagi is ambushed by the Ninja Turtles who are controlled by Jei's evil magic. But after the Turtles are defeated by Usagi, they make friends with the Ronin. He welcomes the new comers and explains his history as a samurai of great strength and skill. The Turtles accompany him on his quest in the hope that they can find a way back home.
