The name alone says it all who wouldn’t know about this guy, who has a red hair and a cross shape scar on his left cheek. The anime character for today is Kenshin Himura from the anime Samurai X a.k.a Rurouni Kenshin. The main male character of the story this wandering swordsman can cook, clean, baby-sit, and does the household chores, which can lead you asking is this guy really a Samurai? Although you see him as the clumsy samurai that he is in reality he is the greatest swordsman who ever walk the earth, the assassin named Hitokiri Battosai, Kenshin’s parents die when he was still small and he was sold to slave traders who eventually were killed by bandits, upon the near death experience he was saved by Hiko Seirjuuro, master swordsman of the Hitten Mitsurugi style sword technique. He then accepted Kenshin to be his apprentice and teach him the ways of the sword, Kenshin was reborn from a weak defenseless child to a warrior, Hiko change his name from Shinta to Kenshin Himura thinking that it was not fit for a samurai name. When he was still training he witnessed the slavery of the people, the poor and the helpless and went to the city defying his master’s orders. In the city he became an assassin for the rebellion, there he fought countless battles and killed countless of people, upon nearing the end of the war he became a wanderer, and hence meet Kaoru, he is freeloading at her house for the time being, there he gathered lots of friends and live a happy life, but his past is still haunting him. Kenshin's trademark is His Fiery red hair, Cross shaped scar on his left cheek, his Sakabato,A reversed edged sword, and lets not forget his funny speech "oro".
When I was a kid I really love this anime show, and still idolized it until now, Kenshins character personality is one of my favorite, the humble but when his loved ones are in trouble he becomes this strong protector and in the end kick the bad guys ass and save his loved ones.
