Joe Jitsu
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Joe Jitsu is a fictional character in a comic strip in the UK comic The Beano, and was voted into the comic by Beano readers in early 2004, along with Colin the Vet. He is notable for being the first black character in The Beano to be the titular character of a strip.
The strip, drawn by Wayne Thompson, is about a boy who had a black belt in Karate. Some early strips also featured a man by the name of Johnny Woo, whose plans to get Joe into his dojo were never successful. Joe Jitsu also has a sister, called Jude. It may be seen as a successor to the earlier karate-themed strip, Karate Sid.
In 2006, Joe's strip made a reappearance in The Beano.
