Kenshin was born n 1849 and was given the name Himura Shinta, His parents died because of cholera, and Kenshin was sold as a slave. During one night there was a raid and everybody in the camp besides Kenshin was killed. Protected by three young woman they gave their life so that Kenshin could live on. They wanted Kenshin to experience true living, Kenshin was then saved by Hiko Seijirou. Seijirou killed the three bandits and took Kenshin in as an apprentice. Seijirou changed Shinta's name to Kenshin. This event started everything.
At age 14 Kenshin joined the party of the Ishinshishi hoping to evolutionize japan in a new era. Kenshin became a samurai to be feared. His ruthless and non-stop killing gave him the nick name Hitokiri Bathowsai(Master Killing Assasin). At the end of the Bakamatsu Kenshin stopped his killing ways and dissapered of the face of the Earth never to be heard of again and always rembered as a legend to Japan.
The master of the sword Himura Kenshin also known as the "Hitokiri Battousai" the perfect assasin. Kenshin in the old days was a ruthless killer and one of the best sowrdfighters out there if not the best. The only person better than Kenshin is his master Hiko Seijirou but he does not take matters into his own hands like his pupil. The perfect killing technique the HitenMitsurugiRyu is unmatched by any other technique. Each skill has its own purpose and covers Kenshin in every aspect: offense, defense, counters, air-counters, and aerial attacks which makes the HitenMitsurugiRyu the perfect waza. It's these skills combined with Kenshins history that makes him so popular. Thanks to Nobuhiro's great character development you really get to know Kenshin as a character. There is one thing that I know for sure and that is noone can create another charcter like Himra Kenshin.
