Rurouni Kenshin is a manga, by Nobuhiro Watsuki, that is currently being
aired in Japan as a popular anime. This is the story of Himura Kenshin, a
28 year old infamous ex-assassin. Now he is a wanderer (rurouni) who has
settled with a small group of people. Still a master of the sword,
he protects those around him to make up for all the countless lives
he took in his past while living the life of a very effective
assassin. He keeps his nonkilling promise by using a sword with
an upside-down blade (only the back is sharpened, leaving the front side
blunt). Kenshin is in one in the center of the above scan.
Kaoru Kamiya is a young woman of seventeen who owns a small martial arts
school. She inherited it from her father and now runs it. She took
in Kenshin, as well as a few others.
She's pretty good with the sword, but often times bites
off more than she can chew and winds up being rescued a lot.
Yahiko Myojin is a ten year old ex-pick-pocket who was taken in my Kaoru
as well. He spends the majority of his time driving her crazy and when
he's not doing that, he wants to grow up to be just like Kenshin. Yahiko
is an orphan whose only family is now Kenshin, Kaoru and Sanosuke.
Sanosuke Sagara
is a nineteen-year-old ex-gangster who aspired to kill Kenshin with a
bigger-than-life sword at the beginning of the series. He eventually became
a good friend of Kenshin. He likes to hang out at the dojo but actually has
his own little ill-kept pad. Instead of weilding the huge sword, he
now uses his body to fight.
When Sano isn't beating up on Yahiko, he's running up a huge tab at a local restaurant.
