Captain Yuzu? :O 

 

According to the caption & replies to the pic, it is a train conductor :D

 

Edit because I didn't realize it was posted above already. 

Here's another cool painting. 

 

And another with an accompanying poem. 

 

 

Yuzu as Ashura.  The artist Azusa Nakazawa (twitter handle @azusanakazawa) uses traditional Japanese painting technique to depict historic scenes and horses.  He painted this depiction of Yuzu as Ashura (buddhist god warrior) just before the Worlds 2021 - to wish him well.  There is a common theme running through Ashura and Lord Uesugi Kenshin - warriors who wish to stop fighting and seek the golden way.  

 

 

The same artist recently had an exhibition, which included this lovely piece: "Hiding behind flowers" - a depiction of Yuzu as Ushiwakamaru, youthful Minamotono Yoshitsune probably just before he meets Benkei on the famous Gojo bridge in Kyoto.  

 

 

This looks like Abe-no-Seimei.
