Usagi
is the biggest
ditz
to ever work the streets of
Tokyo
. However, that's part of the reason we
love
her. She transforms into
Sailor Moon
,
champion
of
justice
. She has a
dark grey
cat
named
Luna
(some people say she's a black cat.. but she's not really black.. she's more dark-greyish bluish something...). In any case, see
Sailor Moon
for more
information
.

Usagi (兎) = Rabbit. The character comes from a pictograph of a rabbit. Often written in

hiragana
instead.

Literal translation:
Rabbit's dung.
What it means:
An analogy for when events happen
intermittent
ly and progress is slow. The
kotowaza
comes from the fact that rabbit dungs are small round dots.
Usagi is also an animal in the
Chinese Zodiac
, which was introduced to Japan by
Buddhists
.
Also the
rabbit on the moon
is supposed to be making an immortality medicine using a hammer according to
Japanese culture
. Recently some have been calling it a
mochi
instead of a medicine.
Once upon a time, a group of Japanese Zen Buddhist monks really liked to eat rabbits but were in a
moral dilemma
because it is was against their religion to eat land animals. To
circumvent
this problem, rabbits became classified as birds, considering the fact that
rabbits have long ears
. With this classification, the monks were
Ok
for a
rabbit meal
. This stuck with
Japanese
culture, and to this day, rabbits are still counted as 1wa, 2wa, 3wa... as if they are birds, as opposed to the usual counting standard of non-bird small animals, which is 1piki, 2hiki, 3piki...
