      To fill things up, I'm going to write a little bit about Kenshin in brief, since I don't want my other pages in the site to be neglected as well.

      Kenshin, or at the time Shinta, was born to a poor peasant family. His childhood were brief and unfulfilling, as his parents were soon dead by an outbreak that spreaded towards the entire village. Later, he was under the custody of slave traders and finally under Seijuro Hiko, a swordsman of the Hitenmitsurugi technique.
      He later left Hiko and used his technique when he was employed by an anti-shogunate revolutionaire, the Ishinshishi as their assassin to remove key members of the shogunate and bring it to ruins. The position that Kenshin held was as the Hitokiri Battousai (actually, Battousai was a nickname he obtained while holding the office).
      After the war, Kenshin swore off killing and sported a non-lethal bludgeoning sword with the edge on the wrong side, the sakabatou. He wandered Japan for ten years before settling down on a town where he met Kamiya Kaoru, owner of the local dojo and a few other individuals like him, later stayed and helped with the dojo.
      However, Kenshin's rather mellow (if you can say that) life at the dojo later ended when his past caught up with him in the form of his arch-nemesis, Saitou Hajime, or as he was known during the bakumatsu, The Wolf of Mibu (Mibu no Ookami). It was then that he even have to face Shishio Makoto, another former Ishinshishi Hitokiri and return to his teacher, Hiko.
