Samurai Jack, more shortly known as Jack, is the titular main protagonist of 2001 Cartoon Network/Adult Swim's animated series of the same name.
He is the son of a Japanese Emperor and the arch-nemesis of Aku who once defeated the evil dark wizard by wielding his magical Katana infused with the power of the gods, making it the only weapon capable of harming the demon.
Once he has Aku on the verge of death, he is sent forward in time where Aku rules over the future and has to get back to the past time in order to defeat Aku before his tyranny could begin. But before he starts out on his journey, he is called “Jack” by a group of individuals, leading to him adopting the name Jack.
He is voiced by Phil LaMarr who also voiced Bail Organa in Clone Wars and Rebels.
