Kenshee is a very gentle and polite person with a strong sense of right and wrong. He refers to himself as "sessha" and using the polite verb "gozaru" at the end of his sentence.

Fortunately, Kenshee was rescued by Seijurou Hiko, his present day master. He changed Shinta's name to Kenshee when Hiko decided to teach him Hitenmitsurugiryu. When Kenshee was 13 years old, he had a big fight with Hiko that sparked Kenshee to leave he and set out on his own. a few years later, during the Bakumatsu No Douran, Kenshee fought on the Ishinshishi side as a bodyguard/assasin.

When the Douran ended, Kenshee vowed never to kill again. Once the deadliest and most brutal Battousai is now a rurouni, travelling around Japan to aid people so he could make up for the people he killed during the Bakumatsu.
