rdfs:comment

Shimura is a comic strip in the British science fiction anthology the Judge Dredd Megazine, detailing the exploits of its eponymous hero in Hondo-City, a futuristic version of Tokyo. In his first appearance Inspector Shimura was pretty much a Japanese equivalent of Judge Dredd. In all stories thereafter however the character has become ronin or outcast having survived an attempt on his life by a traitor in the Judiciary, and works vigilante-style.

Shimura is a comic strip in the British science fiction anthology the Judge Dredd Megazine, detailing the exploits of its eponymous hero in Hondo-City, a futuristic version of Tokyo. In his first appearance Inspector Shimura was pretty much a Japanese equivalent of Judge Dredd. In all stories thereafter however the character has become ronin or outcast having survived an attempt on his life by a traitor in the Judiciary, and works vigilante-style. Visually, the character's most consistent distinguishing features are two pronounced scars on the right-hand side of his face. His attire and hairstyle tend to vary between stories but he often appears unkempt due to his living in hiding. The weaponry in the strip is largely existing martial arts weapons with a futuristic twist e.g. Laser shuriken gloves, and energy nunchaku. swords like the Katana and Wakizashi appear without such adornments. Created by writer Robbie Morrison and artist Frank Quitely in 1993, Shimura has since been illustrated by Colin MacNeil, Simon Fraser and Andy Clarke.
