Samurai Rabbit: The Usagi Chronicles

In a lively city that blends ancient legend with modern street life, a teenage rabbit dreams of earning the title of real samurai. He bands with a crew of fledgling warriors, each bringing their own quirks and skills to the table. Together they train, improvise, and fight to defend their home from a string of escalating threats. Yokai creatures stalk the alleys, rival ninjas test their limits, and even extraterrestrial troublemakers drop in from the skies. Through brisk action and quick humor, the team learns what real courage looks like, and how loyalty, humility, and grit shape a true protector. Despite the light tone, the show builds a tight world with distinct neighborhoods and rival crews. The humor lands through character quirks, snappy banter and visual gags, while the action blends martial arts with inventive gadgets. The core arc centers on growth, mentorship, and making tough choices under pressure.

Released in 2022, the series is created by Candie Langdale, Doug Langdale and Heather A Maxwell. Darren Barnet voices Usagi and Spot, with Aleks Le, Mallory Low, Keone Young and Shelby Rabara in supporting roles.
