Tokyo's most dedicated
young samurai, Yahiko Myoujin, is the perfect case of
bad gone good. He
used to work for the Yakuza as a pickpocket under the
belief that his father
had debts that had to be paid off. However, thanks to
Kaoru and Kenshin,
he discovered that they were lying to him, using him to
get money.
Yahiko is a proud young
man, even arrogant sometimes! For a boy his age, he
has a dirty mouth.
He can be found speaking like Sanosuke a lot! He has a lot
of courage, and often
finds himself trying to prove his worth to the rest of
the Kenshin Gumi.
He is learning the way of Kamiya Katsushin Ryu from Kaoru,
but has asked Kenshin
on different occasions to teach him some of his Ryu (ex.
The one occasion where
Yahiko used one of Kenshin's techniques is when he was
defending the Aoiya
from the Ju Pon Gatana; his "Myomimane-Ryu Tsui Sen"!
manga #15, #122)
He has a rival named
Yutaro Tsukayama. Unfortunately, Yutaro went to Germany
to live with his uncle
(I think). They make a promise to finish their fight
before he leaves,
though.
Yahiko has a girlfriend
at the Akabeko named Tsubame Sanjou. Everyone teases
him about that fact!
Tsubame made the mistake of calling Yahiko "chan" when
she first met him.
He HATES being called CHAN!
