Kamiya Kaoru-->koaru is 18 years of age(well later in the show anyway).She lives inTokyo in the New Meiji Era
Her lifestyle is a swordfighting teacher. Her family father died when she was young. Closest she can call "family" are two little girls, Ayame and Suzume, also their grandfather Dr. Genzai. (only in anime)
Her fighting technique is the Kamiya Kasshin-Ryu Budo/some Jujitsu
Kaoru is the owner of the Kamiya Dojo which used to be run by her father until he died. He taught her the art of Kamiya Kasshin Ryu and now she runs it as the master. This fighting technique is intended to protect people. She fights with a wooden sword called a bokken. On the day she meets Himura Kenshin, she confronts him as the cause of recent, local murders. After finding out he wasn't the murderer, he decides to stay with her. She grows to love him, (and it can be inferred he loves her too :) but is too shy to open up her true feelings. Kaoru has a generally happy disposition, although at times she can be short-tempered and a bit demanding. Also, she gets extremely jealous if she thinks another woman might Kenshin's heart. Her sole student is Myojin Yahiko who shows great promise of being an excellent swordsman someday. Her other friends include the freeloading Sagara Sanosuke and the sly Takani Megumi. |
