Himura
Kenshin
Alias:
Kenshin (by Kaoru and Sanosuke), Ken-san (by
Megumi), Ken-niichan (by Ayame and Suzume), Hitokiri
Battousai (by his rivals), Baka Deshi (by Hiko),
Himura (by Misao) -- way too much to mention all.
Looks:
C&C, meaning "cute and cuddly". If it
wasn't for the X-shaped scar on his cheek, who'd
believe this man is now 28 and was the top Hitokiri
10 years ago, seeing him look soooooo cute in SD or
saying 'Oro'? A little short, with a messy flip of
long red hair, violet eyes. Smiling and tranquil --
that is, if he's not pissed. In Battousai stage, his
reddish bangs turn in a blazing scarlet, and his
eyes are golden. And that expression -- it can scare
the ghosts outta Hell.
Smarts:
Not easy to say at first sight. Sometimes acts
plainly stupid, when concerning common sense areas.
Streets smarts very accuted. And there's no one
better to turn but him, if it comes to fighting
skills and strong swordsmen.
Personality:
Normally, Kenshin is the loveliest person around in
Kamiya dojo. Very kind and demure, he treats women
with such a tenderness and respect that even a Yuki-onna
(snow woman) would melt. Extremely protective of his
Kenshin-gumi. Prone to ditz shows sometimes. Has a
quite curious speech, calling himself "sessha",
saying 'Oro' when confused, and calling women around
by the extremely polite "-dono" suffix.
WARNING!!: Kenshin, despite this all, has a hidden
side that you better not awake. Hard pressed, he
will partially/totally relapse into the coldhearted
killer he once was, and in that stage, no one will
survive to his blade.
Cooking:
Tastier than Kaoru's, but only a little. May happily
learn more spicy recipes and improve. Pretty good at
handling house maintainence too.
Fighting
skills:
Nearly invincible. With his sakabatou (reverse-blade
sword), he applies the most painful and blindingly
quick slashes all through the body if his enemy. The
list of combat techniques he has is way great --
some are Ryusuisen (Flying Dragon), Ryukansen
(Dragon Whirlwind), Kuzuryusen (Nine-Headed Dragon),
and the infamous Succession technique of Hiten
Mitsurugi Ryuu: the Amakakeru Ryu no Hirameki (Flash
of the Flying Dragon).
Special
abilities:
Handles daily stress admirably, attracts hordes of
rivals and lovesick women w/o any efforts, stands
many forms of physical and mental wounds... Want me
to stop? *lol*
Competition:
Yukishiro Tomoe, Takani Megumi, Kamiya Kaoru. Tomoe,
after all, has the merit of being his first love and
wife, and after her *sniffff* demise, she has in her
own right a very special place in Kenshin's heart.
Megumi seemed to like him until Kyoto arc,
explaining her endless teases towards Kaoru, but it
seems she has backed off to search for another man (Sanosuke?
I hope so! ;). Kaoru, in the final stage, will be
the harder cookie. People aren't more stuck than
Kenshin is with Kaoru. I'm willing to bet you have
it 99% lost. Also, there are his enemies -- he'll
spend up more time fighting them than with you at
home.
In-Laws:
None real relatives, as his parents died when he was
little, and later he was sold as a slave. The
caravan he was in was slaughtered by bandits
(including three teenage girls - Akane, Sakura and
Kasumi - who tried to save him), and he was saved
and found by Hiko Seijuuro, his Master. Hiko himself
may just humph and ask what did you see in 'baka
deshi', but NEVER underestimate the man. Yahiko
might want to kick your ass for breaking up Kaoru
and Kenshin if they're going out, and Sanosuke may
think the same too. Megumi also won't be too happy.
And Kaoru? Eeeeh... I honestly can't imagine K&K
w/o each other... I REALLY dunno...
Finances:
Most likely a little poor, as he lives in a ruined
Dojo. Also may be willing to part of Kamiya Dojo
again to search with you a new place to live. Better
get used to live as a wanderer with him, or bring
your own money (remember the insurance policies!)
and tell him to move in with you.
Sex:
He's very reluctant about this main subject, but
eager to please his loved one (check the third OVA
to see some not-so-subliminal hints). Shy at first,
though to make you happy, he will slow down, or
speed up.
Overall:
Hm, despite being the loveliest man, it's not really
enough to cut it. It says 'CHALLENGE', being a man
of a very dark past with a lot of enemies still, and
a would-be lover closest as possible to the word
'nutshell' (it's not that I hate you, Kaoru-chan!!
TT). However, if you take the chance, this 'baka
deshi' may be more than worth the wait.
