His creation, <i>Usagi Yojimbo</i>, is the story of a samurai rabbit living in a feudal Japan populated by anthropomorphic animals. It first appeared in Albedo Comics in 1984. Since then, Usagi has appeared on television as a guest of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles; and as toys, on clothing, in comic books, and in a series of trade paperback collections. In 1991, Stan created <i>Space Usagi</i>, the adventures of a descendant of the original Usagi, dealing with the samurai in a futuristic setting.

He is the recipient of a Parents' Choice Award, an Inkpot Award, multiple Eisner Awards, two Spanish Haxturs, an American Library Association Award, and a National Cartoonists' Society Division Award. <i>Usagi Yojimbo Book 12: Grasscutter </i>was used as a textbook in Japanese history classes at the University of Portland.
