Himura Kenshin is the main character in the series who leads a life dedicated to helping others with the power of his god-like sword technique that in his past, gave him the famous title, Hitokiri Battousai. After giving up his ways as an assassin, he becomes a wandering rurouni traveling the land peacefully until he is 28 and encounters Kamiya Kaoru and joins to live with her in her dojo. Though he seems simple, his past is clouded and painful.
Kenshin was born under the name of Shinta to a peasant family somewhere in Japan. When he was young, both parents died in a cholera outbreak in his village and it is hinted that Shinta may have had siblings. Anyway, he was taken under the care of three young slave women till they were attacked one night and all were killed save Shinta by a powerful swordsman named Hiko Sejuro. Hiko takes Shinta in and raises him under the Hiten Mitsurugi Ryuu and changes his name to Kenshin instead of Shinta since Shinta is too gentle a name for a future swordsman. He was raised this way until he was a young teenager and then left Hiko’s care to become a hired assassin.
After spending a few years being an assassin, he had grown to be one of the most feared hitokiris in all of Japan and his name was spoken with great fear. He then met a young woman by the name of Yukishiro Tomoe and fell in love with her. They were married and lived together in hiding until it was revealed that Tomoe was a spy for her dead fiancé, who Kenshin had previously killed.
Kenshin accidentally kills Tomoe and receives the cross scar from his battle. Afterwards, he leaves on a journey and vows never to kill again carrying his sakabatou with him no matter where he goes. At least, until he meets a young woman by the name of Kamiya Kaoru ten long years later…

Occupation: Premire teacher of kendo in the Kamiya style. She's not the master, but she was training to take over for her father before he past away.
Personality: Fiery, but loving. She cares a great deal for everyone and can't express her feelings towards Kenshin easily.
Kaoru's father died previously and she inherited their dojo and continued teaching the Kamiya Kasshin Ryuu in her father's place as she lived by herself. One day, she meets Kenshin by accidentally attacking him and claiming him to be the murderer that was roaming the streets calling himself the "hitokiri battousai." After Kenshin saves her life, he joins her to help restore the dojo and keep her company.
Later on in the series, a obvious romance blooms between her and Kenshin, though it's not for certain if Kenshin loves her back in that way. It's very noticeable to most of the other characters and Megumi spends half her time making fun of Kaoru and flirting with Kenshin just to make her angry and jealous. Of course, they do eventually get together sometime after the Jinchuu Arc and have a child by the name of Himura Kenji.
Always worried about other people and a very caring person, Kaoru has become like a sister to both Sanosuke and Yahiko. She houses them in her later father's dojo and provides food for all strangers that need help getting back on their feet. Kaoru is also known for having a very fiery personality and her nickname, Raccoon Girl, was given to her for her personality.

The son of a once living samurai in Tokyo, he was forced into stealing to pay back his family's debts after their deaths. Taken in by Kaoru and Kenshin, he begins training as a swordsman. He's the closest thing to a little brother that Kaoru could have, usually getting himself into trouble and trying to live up to his father's name.
It is assumed that he was adopted into the Kamiya family and lives as sort of Kenshin and Kaoru’s first son before Kenji. When he grows up, he helps to train Kenji and take care of him when Kenshin is gone away and later inherits Kenshin’s sakabatou when he is a teenager.

Shinomori
Aoshi
Birthday: January 1853
Age: 26
Species: Human
Gender: Male
Hair: Black
Eyes: Blue
Height: 5'9"
Blood type: A
Weight: 72 kg
Occupation: Leader of the Oniwabanshuu gang
Aoshi's mainly a cold person. He's really quiet most of the time and always strives to get the title of the strongest man. He became leader of the Oniwaban group at age 15 and he's really good at fighting. His fighting spirit is really strong. His choice of weapon is the kodachi. Basically, imagine Kenshin's sakabatou, now cut off about 1/5 of that sword and modify it a little and you have a kodachi. Anyways, the kodachi is a lot quicker compared to Kenshin's sakabatou but the offense is not as effective as the sakabatou. In the beginning of the story, Aoshi worked for Kanryuu, when he crossed paths with Kenshin. That was when they first fought and they never really finished the fight because Kanryuu brought in a gatlin gun that killed 4 members of the Oniwaban. Anyways, after that horrible situation, Aoshi left with the bodies of the members of the Oniwaban and buried them somewhere out there in the forest. After that, Aoshi sort of disappeared. Later on Aoshi shows up again but wishes to get revenge on Kenshin. He was still persistent in getting the title of the strongest. During the past few months, he also learned how to use two kodachis instead of just one, so he could be more effective in eliminating an opponent. He also became somewhat stronger and colder in the process. In doing so, he joined the Juppongatana to kill Kenshin. Actually, he somewhat became an accomplice with Shishio. That means, he also broke ties with his old Owniwaban group which caused Misao to take over as the new leader. That just proved how cold he is and he wouldn't let any obstacles get in the way of letting him getting the title of strongest. In this case, he practically killed Okina when Okina wanted to stop Aoshi.
