The lead character in the anime series Rurouni Kenshin. Although he looks and sounds like a girl (his voice was done by Mayo Suzukase, who's female), he is really the Hitokiri (assassin) Battousai, formerly the most deadly swordsman in Japan. However, he took a vow never to kill again and became a rurouni, a sort of wandering samurai. He fights with a sakabatou, a sword with the sharp edge on the wrong side.

Physically, he's short and doesn't look very strong. He wears his long red hair in a pony tail down his back. The only thing to indicate he can fight at all is the cross-shaped scar on his cheek, and his cold, deadly attitude when he gets mad. The rest of the time he acts very laid-back, even comical. His favorite expression is "Oro?".
