The Rurouni Kenshin page!!! About Kenshin Rurouni Kenshin is a Anime and Manga series about a Samurai named Himura Kenshin who lives in a time when Samurai have been outlawed, and people are not allowed to carry metal swords. Kenshin used to be hitokiri (a cruel master assassin) for the government, and killed many people. Because of his past, he has sworn never to kill again because he fears that he will return to being a cruel hitokiri. Since he is a master swordsman, he has a custom made sakaba sword, with the blunt side where the sharp side should be. The sword is this way so he can hit people, but not kill them. The other side of the sword is sharp and is rarely used, and only on non-living things.
The Story Someone is murdering people in Tokyo. Kamiya Kaoru is out looking for this person because he is killing in name of her family dojo. Because of this, the dojo loses many participants. Kenshin just happens to be wandering through at this time, and Kaoru sees his sword. Having a metal sword in this time is illegal, and she suspects him of being the killer. Naturally, she attacks him, and Kenshin stumbles and falls over. After he gets up, he explains the situation to her. While he is doing this, the real killer shows up. Kenshin saves Kaoru, and takes her back to her dojo. In the moring she offers to let him stay with her indefinitely because it will benefit the dojo and neighborhood. From this point on, he makes many friends and swears to protect them all. |
