Stitch & the Samurai, known in Japan as Tono & Stitch, is a 2020 manga spin-off of the Lilo & Stitch franchise that ran from January 13 to December 28, 2020, on Kodansha's Comic Days website, written and drawn by Hiroto Wada. An English translation was published by Tokyopop throughout 2021.

Summary

In an alternate universe, Stitch's ship becomes lost in time after making the hyper jump. Instead of modern Hawaii, Stitch's ship crash lands in Sengoku-era Japan, a time where samurai warlords vie for control of the country. The army of warlord Yamato Meison discovers the crashed spaceship and after a brief struggle, Meison finds the "blue tanuki" both cute and powerful enough to join him.

Trivia

• The final chapter of the manga was actually published on December 21, 2020; December 28 saw the release of a bonus mini-epilogue.
• A two-chapter side story of the manga was released on June 1, 2020, via the Japanese version of Disney Tsum Tsum, features Leroy's second-ever appearance within official Lilo & Stitch media, his first new appearance in the franchise since his 2006 debut in the film Leroy & Stitch. (He was also released as a playable Tsum in the mobile game that same month.)
  • The side story is also the first Disney media to officially designate him as "Experiment 629", despite previous Japanese and Disneyland Paris merchandise designating him as "Experiment 628" (which is false since the pod of an Experiment 628 was seen in the Lilo & Stitch: The Series episode "627", and Leroy was newly made in his debut film).
  • The second part of the side story, the one that features Leroy and Dr. Hämsterviel, was not published in English.
