Oooooookay! Characters!
Name: Kenshin Himura
Alias: Hitokiri Battosai, Sessha (by himself), Himura Battosai, Battosai, Shinta
Age: 28 years old
Date of Birth: June 20
Blood Type: AB
Height and Weight: 5'5" (168 cm) ; 48 kg
Special Technique: Hiten Mitsurugi Ryu
Weapons: Sakaba sword
Favourite phrase: "Oro?"
Extra:
Himura Kenshin is the Hitokiri Battosai, a legendary swordsman who some believe single-handedly saved the Meiji government during the Bakumatsu no Douran war , fighting for the Ishinshishi side against the Bakufu as an assassin. After the war had ended however, Hitokiri Battosai disappeared. No one knew where he had gone, or if he was still alive or not.
Ten years later, a rurouni named Kenshin Himura met Kaoru Kamiya, whose dojo was being blamed for killings that had been happening in that part of Tokyo. He was able to help her protect the dojo's reputation, as well as defeating the men who was responsible for the killings and who wanted to ruin the Kaoru's dojo. Although Kaoru discovers that Kenshin was actually Hitokiri Battosai, though now just a rurouni, she asks her to stay and help her maintain the dojo, and he agrees. Friends Yahiko Myojin, Sanosuke Sagara, and Megumi Takani later join the dojo. (actually, the correct term here is "freeloaders")
Kenshin has long red hair and is often pulled back in a low ponytail. He has big blue eyes (they change dramatically when he reveals his Hitokiri Battosai nature) and a cross-shaped scar on his left cheek, which was the feature that was often used to describe him during his days as the Battosai. "Oro" and "...de gozaru" seem to be his favorite words. He is a good cook, much better than Kaoru (to her dismay), and seems most at home doing everyday chores such as washing clothes, sweeping, etc. around the dojo. When his friends are in danger though, he reverts to his Battosai side: cold and fearless, though he still abides by his oath not to kill.

Name: Kamiya Kaoru
Alias: Kenjutsu Komachi, Raccoon Girl, Missy, Ugly
Age: 17 years old
Date of Birth: June
Blood Type: O
Height and Weight: 5'1" (155 cm) ; 41 kg
Special Technique: Kamiya Kasshinryu
Weapons: Wooden swords (bokken), bamboo swords(shinai)
Extra:
Kaoru Kamiya, like her father, sincerely believes that blood shouldn't be necessarily shed to protect others, and has proven it many times. She runs the Kamiya Dojo, which teaches the Kamiya Kasshinryu style of fighting by using wooden or bamboo swords. She meets Kenshin Himura ten years after the Bakumatsu no Douran (the eleventh year).
With her long hair often tied back in a high ponytail, blue-eyed Kaoru is an expert of her father's Kamiya Kasshinryu style, taking over the dojo after her father's death. (Not everyone can fight in a kimono after all.) She has a cheery personality and loves to give others a second chance. She is compassionate and kindhearted even though she suffers from financial crises from time to time, but she is also hot-tempered and tends to hit anything or anybody to relieve her of her anger, which it is Kenshin who usually takes the brunt of it. She is possessive of Kenshin and gets insanely jealous whenever another girl (usually Megumi) so much as smiles at him.
She has a major crush on Kenshin...... annoyingly major.

Name: Sagara Sanosuke
Alias: Zanza, Sano, Rooster Head
Age: 19 years old
Date of Birth: February
Blood Type: B
Height and Weight: 5'10" (179 cm) ; 71 kg
Special Technique: He's got that rad fisty punchy thing the fallen monk taught him. If you know the name of that.... please tell me
Weapons: Zanbatou, bare hands
Extra:
Sanosuke or "Sano" for short, was hired by two brothers who wanted to discredit the Kamiya Dojo to kill Kenshin, especially since one of them can no longer handle a sword. Sano challenged Kenshin to a fight but was later defeated. He slowly admires and respects Kenshin, and later on becomes a fixture in the Kamiya household.
Sanosuke has long brown spiky hair, often wears a red bandanna around his forehead and is extremely thin. (His frame looks like those of an EVA robot.) He often wears a long white overcoat with the kanji/Chinese character "bad" written at its back. His trademark seems to be chewing on a fishbone. He's often calm and collected, but is also often found arguing with either Kaoru and Yahiko (could be because he tosses out insults like water), but with Megumi most of all. He is fond of barbecued fish and is very good in making them, which is about the only thing he knows how to make. He doesn't rely much on new innovations ("How can steam coming from a kettle make a whole train move?!!"), and he has great strength (he can pick large people and things up with almost no effort). He also believes that people have their own rights and must not be violated. He has some problem with trees (Sorry..... inside joke.... He always trains on trees)....
He and Megumi argue everytime they're within shouting distance of each other, but they have a special relationship. They probably fight all the time because it's the only way that they can show their afection for each other, though both are too proud to admit it....... Zi still despises Megumi however.

Name: Myojin Yahiko
Alias: Yahiko-chan
Age: 10 years old
Date of Birth: January
Blood Type: B
Height and Weight: 4'2" (128 cm) ; 23 kg
Special Technique: Kamiya Kasshinryu
Weapons: wooden sword / bokken
Extra:
Yahiko is Kaoru's head student in the Kamiya Dojo. Though he is only ten years old, there are many times when he seems wiser than his age. The other times though, are spent getting into trouble and into fights with Kaoru, iften calling her "Raccoon face" or something else just as insulting. At first he hates using a bokken and wants to use a "real" sword like Kenshin's, but he soon realizes the importance of the Kamiya Kasshin style of fighting.
As a student, Yahiko is very bright and a good swordsman. He can copy off a move simply by watching someone else do it, and he learns fast. Yahiko's family was a Shizoku, which was an honorary title during the Edo era, and he has a great sense of honor. He works in a restaurant owned by Tae, in order ot have enough money to buy his own Sakaba. He has a crush on one of the employees there named Tsubame, and he hates being called Yahiko-chan, as he thinks it demeans him. His role model is Kenshin, and he tries his best to be like him, and tries his best to protect his friends as well.

Name: Takani Megumi
Alias: Fox Lady, Ahen Ona, Opium Woman
Age: 22 years old
Date of Birth: December
Blood Type: B
Height and Weight: 5'40" (166 cm) ; 45 kg
Extra:
Megumi was rescued by Kenshin, Sanosuke, Kaoru and Yahiko from the drug lord Taneda Kanryuu. She is a good doctor of Western medicine, although women doctors during that time were practically unheard of. She loves to tease people and is fond of Kenshin much to Kaoru's anger, and loves to flirt with him. She and Sanosuke argues all the time though, although they have real affection for each other.
Megumi is really pretty, with long black hair down her waist, and she is also clever and cunning, which earned her her "Fox Lady" nickname. (In both the anime and manga, fox ears sprout out of her head when she does something particularly clever, often accompanied by her trademark "Ohohohohohoho"'s) Although she seems cool and distant on the outside, she is actually very lonely and feels guilty over the deaths the opium she made has caused. This is why she promises to live out the rest of her life atoning for her sin by helping others as a doctor.
Zi hates her.

Name: Shinomori Aoshi
Alias: Moto Oniwabanshuu Okashira
Age: 26 years old
Date of Birth: January
Blood Type: A
Height and Weight: 5'100" (182 cm) ; 72 kg
Special Technique: Kodachinitouryu
Weapons: Twin Kodachi
Extra:
Aoshi is the leader of the Oniwabanshuu group, and all its members look up to him. Although he appears cold and heartless, he cares a lot for his team and will do anything, even giving up his life for them. He is obsessed with being the best fighter, which is part of the reason why he likes to challenge Kenshin.
Aoshi rarely shows any outward emotion, but that doesn't mean that he doesn't have any. His goal is to make a name for the Oniwabanshuu and to establish them as the best fighters of that era.

She's good at kenpou and at throwing knives (tobikunai), and proudly proclaims herself a ninja. Her main source of income while traveling alone is robbing bandits of their money, terrified of spiders and bugs, and because of her youth, has a tendency to blow up and Kecho Kick people when angry.

Name: Saitou Hajime
Alias: Miburo
Age: 35 (I think....)
Date of Birth: January
Blood Type: O
Height and Weight: Height: 183cm (??) Weight: 71kg
Special Technique: Mizoguchi haittouryuu
Weapons: Sword of Mumei
Extra:
He was captain of the third unit of the Shinsengumi, the Wolves of Mibu (Miburo), the Tokugawa SWAT team, the special unit of swordsmen put together by the Shogunate for the express purpose of crushing the less open acts of rebellion of the period. Which, you'll know if you've been paying attention, means that he and Kenshin the Battousai were not on the same side in Kyoto during the Revolution. In fact, they fought more than once. Each time ending in a draw. Which, again, tells you that he is not a man to be trifled with.
When the new age dawned, he fought with honors in the Seinin war as a member of the sword-bearing police, under the assumed name of Goro Fujita. He then returned to Edo (now being called Tokyo) to act in his capacity as a policeman, in addition to being the one of the new Goverment's most skillful (and deadly) spies. It is in this capacity that he first meets Sanosuke and Kenshin the Wanderer. Of course, when I say "meets", you can guess that it's not the most pleasant affair for our two heroes.
He fights with a style particular to the Shinsengumi, the Hiratsuki. It is characterized by thrusts with the blade held vertically. If any thrust misses, the swordsman turns the blade parallel to the ground and slashes the opponents unprotected side. The Shinsengumi had developed a style that focused on making the first blow of any duel fatal, knowing through the benefit of experience that anyone who can do that one almost perfectly won't need to know anything else about swordsmanship. Of course, Saitou has, since leaving the Shinsengumi, perfected this concept even further, with his left-handed style, the Gatotsu.
Saitou is a man of perfectly uncompromising morals. His standards are summed up in his personal philosophy of: "Aku, Zoku, San." This is often poetically translated as "Sin, Swift, Slay." I'd just say "Punish (Kill). Evil. Now." In the Shinsengumi, he was in charge of executing those swordsmen whe became corrupt. It is not stupid to notice that, seeing as the Revolution is over, such an unbending and violent set of morals do not fit with the way of the world. Someone who kills anyone who puts their own interests before those of the state, and cannot be bribed at any price, is not going to be very popular with the powerful.
