Rurouni Kenshin

Gensai is a short elderly man with kind, dark eyes and light grey hair that matches his thick Fu Manchu moustache and short, pointed beard. He is always seen wearing a burgundy kimono under his sky blue doctor's jacket and matching hat.

Amicable and grandfatherly, Gensai is always accommodating in times of need and readily available to help celebrate in times of peace and revelry. He cares deeply about his patients and the people in his community and his sharp observational skills allow him to sometimes serve as a useful source of information regarding the goings-on surrounding the Kenshin-gumi's adventures. His good-nature does appear to have a limit, as shown in his general sense of annoyance towards Sanosuke and his exasperation with Megumi 's rare lapses. In addition, the elderly doctor seems to have a lascivious side, as evidenced by his initially lusty behavior toward his lovely new assistant. In the anime, Gensai's constant attachment to Ayame and Suzume seems to foster a slightly more benign temperament.


Rurouni Kenshin

Okita is kind and respectful to his fellow Shinsengumi members and his enemies alike. He is usually shown with a confident smile and takes his fights seriously, despite his childlike appearance. Although he respects all Shinsengumi leaders, he shows a particular respect to Saitō Hajime who was also considered on an equal level with him in terms of swordsmanship (both being leaders of the first and third squads of the Shinsengumi, respectively).

Rurouni Kenshin

Otowa is a very tall man who wears a magenta-colored juban and a light blue kimono with a jagged hem, tied with a magenta obi , white tabi and women's zori . His black hair is kept separated into three parts (two in pigtails, and one in a low pigtail covering his left eye), with some short strands always hanging between his black, ever-partially-closed eyes. He also has a liking for cosmetics, in the form of wearing red lipstick and pink nail polish. The most noticable part of his outfit is the six spikes that make up the Rikudoko, which at first appears to be an unusual accessory.

Otowa is a very sadistic man, taking pleasure in harming and killing men, women, and children alike. Despite his outward bravado, he is prone to cowardice when faced with an opponent that poses a serious threat to himself.
In general he has a calm  and reserved demeanor, rarely showing signs of shock by surprising events or of being easily intimidated.  However, he is easily annoyed by petty things such as when Yukishiro Enishi appears to disregard him as an equal. He also has a smoking habit, with a hookah as his pipe of choice, implying a laid-back nature.


Rurouni Kenshin

Prince Shin looks exactly like Myōjin Yahiko. He is a somewhat short boy with short black hair and dark eyes. But (in contrast with Yahiko), Shin dresses in fine clothing and shoes.

But when called into serious matters, Shin takes his duties with responsibility and diligence for the good of his people.

Rurouni Kenshin

As a young man Ryuunosuke was a tall and handsome man with fit and agile body. He did not use glasses and did not have a moustache or a beard. He usually dressed in Kendo uniform.
Later in life Ryuunosuke grew a moustache and had grayish hair. His clothes became old and rusty (as he did not care that much of his personal appearance).

As a young man Ryuunosuke was a strong headed and impatient man who became obsessed with the idea of being the most powerful swordsman to the point of ignoring the love that a young woman professed to him. When he mastered the kenjutsu he became arrogant and prone to a fight.
As an older man Ryuunosuke became a lonely and calm person who wandered across the land.


Rurouni Kenshin

Hoji has brown hair, a large forehead, no eyebrows, dark eyelids and wrinkles around his eyes.
Hoji wears a brown jacket and pants, red tie, white button down shirt, white gloves, and a white coat with a fur trim around his neck and at the end of his sleeves.

Hōji was largely a pragmatic and serious man, not seeing the point in believing in concepts such as the afterlife or religious philosophy, nor having much of a sense of humor. He was direct, to the point, and held banter and belaboring a point in high distaste. While he did not care for his enemies, Hōji was also somewhat humble, readily acknowledging his allies' and foes' strengths and seldom underestimating them, making him a capable second-in-command and lead strategist for Shishio's insurgency. He was not entirely void of compassion and empathy, seeking retribution for Hanabi, a courtesan that he met and presumably had feelings for. He was also notably impressed with Seta Sōjirō's seeming lack of emotions and ease with which he killed. Though often very calm, Hōji's personality took a turn towards manic and unyielding fanaticism after his "baptism of fire" by Shishio's very own hand, the overwhelming heat he was subjected to likely caused him a significant degree of brain damage in the process.
After that event, Hōji's composed and deadpan exterior gave way to a passionate and excitable veneer where he devoted his every effort to securing Shishio's conquest of Japan, having now had his leader's status in his mind elevated to that of a deity, giving in to his philosophy of survival of the fittest with dogmatic enthusiasm. He also became far easier to anger after his "baptism" and after Shishio lost the duel to Kenshin, he denied with all his fury, unleashing the vents of lit petroleum and destroying the fortress in the process. His passion did not even leave him when he died and was sent to hell, still as eager to serve Shishio in death as he had in life.


Rurouni Kenshin

Tall and lean, Sanosuke's slight build belies his immense strength and his superhuman toughness, but his wild shock of spiky brown hair and intense brown eyes are clear indications of his demeanor. Sano is always seen wearing a white happi jacket with black trim and the kanji character aku (惡) - meaning evil or bad - emblazoned conspicuously on the back in black as well as white dōgi trousers. While he always wears his jacket open - sometimes leaving his arms out of the sleeves so that it simply drapes over his shoulders, Sanosuke does not wear a shirt beneath it, instead leaving his chest bare while white sarashi bandage tape is wrapped around his abdomen; this same white sarashi is wrapped around his ankles and feet.

Sanosuke's "bad" symbol
Additionally, Sano wears a long headband and matching sarashi around his left forearm, both of which are often depicted as red, but sometimes seen in purple. As he fights with his fists and relies on his ability to absorb damage rather than any defensive skill, Sano is also frequently seen in bandages, most notably around his right hand and forearm after mastering Futae no Kiwami .

Sanosuke as he appears at the end of the series
After he leaves Japan and goes to the mainland at the end of the series, Sanosuke lets his already wild image grow wilder by allowing his hair to lengthen to a shoulder-length mane while growing a chinstrap beard.

Straightforward and brash, Sanosuke presents a rather complex set of morals despite his relatively simple demeanor. Not particularly occupied with whether a person aligns with "good" or "bad", he instead places importance on whether or not people are honest with themselves or others. Due largely to his experience with the Sekihōtai and the Ishin Shishi of the Meiji Government, Sanosuke is acutely aware that the definitions of good and bad are arbitrary and subjective - often changed or switched depending on who is in a position of authority - and, therefore, does not judge those who choose either path or balk at doing "illegal" or "immoral" things himself. However, he marks lies and hypocrisy as the height of villainy and, as a result, is unusually forthcoming with his own intentions and also bald-facedly critical of others' half-truths.
Though usually displaying a demeanor somewhere between sardonically jovial and bored, Sanosuke is described by those close to him as having a temperament like fire - a fire that smolders with the losses of his past in times of quietude but comes fully aflame when his fists itch for combat. In keeping with his brash and forthright character and in spite of his quick tongue, Sanosuke is more prone to speak with his fists than with his words. For him, there is no greater enjoyment than that found in brawling with strong opponents and no greater disappointment than raising his fists against a weaker man. When Sano's temper is ignited by the victimization of a friend, however, he becomes unable to calm himself until his fists have struck a target, regardless of his enemy's strength.
After coming into contact with Himura Kenshin and the group at the Kamiya Dōjō , however, Sanosuke has begun to see a deeper path through life. For the most part, forgoing his violent nature, Sano soon comes to admire Kenshin and joins the ex-hitokiri's mission to aid the downtrodden and victimized. Along the way, Sanosuke encounters more and more people whose strength he begins to evaluate differently; to those whose inner strength resembles Kenshin's, Sanosuke offers his strong right arm, and to those whose ideals are misguided, Sanosuke seeks to give the same inspiration that Kenshin has given him.
Unfortunately, Sanosuke's brash straightforwardness carries a strong strain of thickheadedness with it. Though rather observant in crucial situations and particularly astute with doling out criticisms, he can often be rather simple-minded, requiring those with sharper minds to explain the finer points of any complex occurrence. Sanosuke is also known to his close friends as a bit of a mooch, skulking around the Kamiya Dōjō for free meals, borrowing cash from friends without any real promise of reimbursement and racking up a rather large unpaid tab at the Akabeko .


Rurouni Kenshin

Sōzō's visage, despite his wartime experiences, displays a soft essence of innocence and peace. He is a handsome young man with shiny black hair that is well-groomed in the back, but flows in sweeping bangs which fall over the right side of his face, obscuring his right eye. Even in death, his face displayed no pain.
Sagara's attire during his depiction in the series consists of a standard Sekihōtai officer's uniform (including the red bandanna identical to Sanosuke's) and he is constantly seen carrying himself with grace and pride.

Sōzō had a caring and ambitious personality, wanting to help create a Japan where people live under freedom and equality, much like Himura Kenshin . A natural leader and mentor, he was fond of children and a champion of the common man. He did his utmost to teach these principles to those under his lead and it is because of these ideals that Sanosuke befriends Kenshin, despite him being a former Ishin-Shishi .


Rurouni Kenshin

Saijou is a young tall man with long gray-ish hair. He does not have a beard nor a moustache, but most of the time his face is hidden behind a kitsune mask he (and his followers) use. He wears an orange body suit and light shoes.

Saijou is a thief and a violent person who commits crimes alongside his group (called the Kendawan). He resorts to violence to get his goals, and he is willing to cause harm (or kill) his victims. When confronted to a person who wants to fight against him (and his group), Saijou does not stop and will accept the challenge.


Rurouni Kenshin

Saitō is a rather tall man with a lean but fit frame. He has a long face with pronounced cheekbones and tear-troughs. His eyes are piercing and narrow while yellow in color and his short black hair is neatly slicked back with the exception of four bangs over his forehead. In the anime, Shishio Makoto described him as "a man who looks like a wolf." During the Bakumatsu he had a long sweeping ponytail reaching his mid back but cut it off after he became an agent of the police.
Though he frequently wore the traditional Shinsengumi uniform during the revolution, Saitō is almost always seen in his blue policeman's uniform during the Meiji era .

A former captain in the loyalist Shinsengumi , Saitō has had a long-time rivalry with Himura Kenshin, a former manslayer of the Imperialist cause. As a result of his involvement in the Ikedaya Affair, he and his Shinsengumi comrades successfully prevented the burning of Kyoto by an extremist faction of the Ishin Shishi. Nevertheless, the pro-shogunate forces were ultimately defeated and he was forced to go into hiding.
He adherently lives by the Shinsengumi code " Aku Soku Zan " (悪即斬, literally: " Slay Evil Immediately ", but more poetically rendered as "Swift Death to Evil"), though he never shows much regard for human life, at some points even letting on that he likes to kill. He is rather morbid and arrogant. Nevertheless, none of these character flaws prevent him from being a superb investigator and fighter. He expects those involved in the military, whether Shinsengumi swordsmen or Meiji era policemen, to carry out their duties without letting their personal feelings interfere.
He believes in peace and order, even in the society created by his former enemies. Throughout the series, to uphold this new peace, Saitō has often been shown as the foil of Kenshin who walks and carries out his duties in the shadows of society in his own way; following his lifelong code of purpose with devotion, Saitō is the man who does the necessary dirty work, killing off the despicable and those beyond saving. Anyone he considers to be corrupt or despotic, he targets for elimination, in the honor of his country and his fallen men.
Though he is normally serious, Saitō has a slight sense of humor that is morbid and slightly sadistic, shown as he uses his sword to casually attempt to stab Sanosuke Sagara in the butt through the roof of the horse carriage the two of them and Kenshin were riding on.

Saitō, Kenshin and Sano join forces in the battle against Shishio

During the Kyoto Arc, Saitō joins forces with Kenshin to fight against Shishio Makoto. However, he considers Kenshin to be more of an adversary rather than an ally. Later, after acknowledging Kenshin's vow to never kill again, Saitō decides to put an end to their rivalry.
Saitō is an able observer and a quick analyst (working as a spy for the Meiji government). In addition to being a skilled swordsman, he is revealed to possess immense physical strength when he pummels the herculean Sagara Sanosuke in a hand-to-hand fistfight. He considers Sanosuke to be a dimwitted amateur with mild potential, due mostly to Sano's lack of insight.
He is also revealed to be married to a woman named Tokio (who has never been seen). Saitō has been shown to be somewhat annoyed when forced to admit to being a married man, as the idea of domestic life conflicts with his cold and terrifying image and almost demonic affect. He remarks at one point early on that he has a fondness for soba, a simple noodle dish.
Saitō is highly recognizable by his narrow eyes, "spider-like" strands of hair in front of his forehead (he is also often said to resemble a wolf), his propensity for smoking and the katana (Japanese sword) which hangs from his left side.


Rurouni Kenshin

He was a short ugly old man with a large forehead and head and whiskers. He had yellow teeth and wrinkles and wore an orange kimono with a blue collar.

He was an arrogant, condescending old man who believed in age elitism, believing he was superior to others due to his age, "experience in life", and intelligence. A methodical man, when he challenged Kaoru, Yahiko, Misao and the others at the Aoiya, he set out to specifically explain the reasons they would lose albeit he also admits they obtained better than expected results so far and the Juppongatana will have to review some of their own concepts. He took care of Fuji and took advantage of his kindness to force him to commit horrendous acts, and always belittled and treated Fuji poorly, frequently referring to him as a monster and constantly reminding Fuji of the debt he owed him. He also stated the world was a place where if a person trusted in someone, that person would betray him. He tended to talk big but himself had no fighting abilities. He was also merciless and sadistic, ordering Fuji to kill off Yahiko and giving a sinister smile while doing so.

In present time (Meiji 11) Heihachirō is a pacifist quiet man, who dedicates his time to teach kids at a local school.

He wears some sort of red kimono with purple flame details at the bottom with leather boots. Underneath he wears black pants and a t-shirt with several straps in order to carry all his swords.

Chō is a bloodthirsty, yet arrogant and foolhardy person. He is prone to lose patience and interest when talking to people he does not want to be around.
On the other hand, Chō seems to be not as loyal to authority, because he clearly disobeys orders from Shishio Makoto, and after the events of the Kyoto arc, he starts to work for the Tokyo police.


Rurouni Kenshin

Sae is an attractive young woman with short brown hair tied in a bun at the nape of her neck and covered with a handkerchief, though her bangs curl out over the sides of her brow and are accompanied by two thin strands of hair at the sides of her face. In the anime, her eyes are large and brown. As she is always seen at the Shirobeko, Sae is most frequently observed dressed in her hostess uniform.

Sae seems to have a similar personality as her sister Tae: As a successful hostess and manager, Sae possesses a markedly positive and upbeat personality, more often donning a smile than not. She is very accommodating and eager to do whatever is in her power to aid her friends and customers. A smart and capable businesswoman, Sae is able to read people and situations rather astutely in business and her relationships.


Rurouni Kenshin

Tae is an attractive young woman with short brown hair tied in a bun at the nape of her neck and covered with a handkerchief, though her bangs curl out over the sides of her brow and are accompanied by two thin strands of hair at the sides of her face. In the manga, Tae is nearly always depicted with her eyes closed, as are all the other members of her family; in the anime, her eyes are large and brown. As she is often seen at the Akabeko, Tae is most frequently observed dressed in her hostess uniform.

As befits a successful hostess and manager, Tae possesses a markedly positive and upbeat personality, more often donning a smile than not. She is very accommodating and eager to do whatever is in her power to aid her friends and customers. A smart and capable businesswoman, Tae is able to read people and situations rather astutely, which sometimes causes her to assert herself in a way that others have deemed "scary", both when it comes to her business and her relationships.
Tae is particularly assertive when it comes to romantic relationships; as a young woman with love often on her mind, she seems to take particular pleasure in suggesting and supporting potential romantic connections among her acquaintances--devoting much of her time to encouraging Kaoru and Kenshin's relationship to blossom. That being said, her own lack of romantic involvement seems to be a bit of a sore spot, as she has apparently reached a point in her twenties which she fears makes her an undesirable romantic prospect.
As might be expected of anyone associated with Kaoru and her group of friends, Tae is also a very caring person and, while she does not seem prone to anxiety, she can often be seen worrying over the dangerous or emotionally-compromising situations which befall the group staying at Kamiya Dōjō .


Rurouni Kenshin

Senbonya Yohei is a middle aged man with short brown hair and black eyes. He a little fat, and wears fancy clothing (a multiple layered kimono).

Senbonya is a smart and intelligent person, who somehow created a prosperous business doing trade by sea. On the other hand, he was also trading secretly with opium, firearms and explosives, so it’s fair to assume that Senbonya is a sneaky and corrupt person who is greedy for money and power.

He is shown to be cruel, seen when he killed Ei'ichiro's family and other villagers with no noticeable remorse.

He is somewhat cowardly as he attempts to flee the village after being defeated.

Even though Shikijō has a frightening appearance, he seems to be a disciplined and centered person. In flashback scenes he has been seen speaking in a kind and gentle way. He also has a strong sense of group work and offered Sanosuke a chance to join the Tokyo Oniwabanshū when he saw Sanosuke's potential.


Rurouni Kenshin

Rurio is man with an average build.
Rurio wears a reflective mask over his forehead, eyes, and nose, with none reflective parts that extend over his cheeks. Rurio also wears a black cloak with a bird pattern on the under side, a scarf with the same bird pattern, white gloves (Similar to the ones that Shishio had worn), white pants with straps above his black boots.

Rurio is a brilliant man, and is able to adapt to a situation (like having Kanryu sell the Gatou Swords when Kanryu says that he will buy then instead takes one, and having Honda replace Kanryu as Gatou when Kanryu decides to betray them). Rurio also thinks lowly of his allies that are defeated by non-swordsmen, as he had killed Ono for losing to Sano and Honda for losing against Kanryu. Rurio doesn't like the idea of killing the victor of a fight and is willing to left them live, but will kill them if the victor is rude to him. Rurio is elated then their plans were coming to fruiton, but was frustrated when the results of the plan didn't come out the way they wanted.


Rurouni Kenshin

Shindō is a tall man with a tough face (in some kind of greyish skin tone). Back in the Bakumatsu he had long white hair and wore a black uniform somehow resembling the Sekihōtai, but with traces of dark blue (instead of the red that the Sekihōtai use).
In the 11th year of the Meiji era, an aging Shindō had a shorter hair and wore a more traditional kimono.

Not much is known about Shindō Tatewaki, but it seems he is a corrupt officer and a sneaky person who did not hesitate about using people for his own gain and betraying them.


Rurouni Kenshin

Tall and lean, Aoshi is frequently described as being very handsome, with a long, youthful face and short black hair cut neatly in back but with a distinctive fringe of permed bangs falling in front of his face and parted in the center. Aoshi's most distinctive feature is his eyes, which are a piercing, ice-cold blue.
For most of the series, Aoshi sports decidedly Western dress in the form of a deep blue, collarless short-sleeved dress shirt with a goldenrod trim, matching deep blue slacks and shiny black dress shoes. More distinctive still is his trademark coat - a long, sweeping trench coat of light tan with a ribbed goldenrod interior trim. He also wears deep blue, wide-mouthed fingerless gloves.
After his trench coat is destroyed and his mind cleared by Kenshin, Aoshi displays his renewed allegiance to the Oniwabanshū by switching his slacks and coat for a shinobi shozoku worn over his dress shirt. His shozoku is similar in design to Han'nya 's, carries the same deep blue and goldenrod color scheme as Aoshi's old outfit, but also is tied with an obi belt left in a long bow like Misao 's.

At first glance, Shinomori Aoshi appears cold and emotionless. He has a calculating nature and high observational intelligence, a reticence to say more than is necessary and a demeanor that rarely shows emotion. He rarely smiles, except when smirking with confidence in order to intimidate opponents.
This long-standing confidence in his abilities has fostered in Aoshi a fixation with being the best and demonstrating his superiority as well as the superiority of the Oniwabanshū across all the land. Even from a young age, he lived for battle and has allowed the shame of being left out of the Bakumatsu in his youth to drive him toward combat in the Meiji era , not caring whom he has to fight or why so long as his opponent is strong and victory will bring glory to his Oniwabanshū. After his Oniwabanshū onmitsu are murdered in front of his eyes, Aoshi's already frigid soul sinks deep into the shadows of his nature and his desire for victory in battle becomes an obsession that threatens to transform him into an honorless murderer.
However, his icy and ruthless demeanour hides a deeply passionate nature; Aoshi's ordinarily cold heart bleeds for his comrades and he places their well-being and happiness before his own without hesitation, as displayed when he declined glamorous government positions and solitary battles so as to look after his subordinates. Though he is sometimes short with them, Aoshi never allows his men to be insulted by outsiders and will defend their honor with violence if necessary. Even when his soul is poisoned, his obsession with battle and victory is specifically fuelled by his need to honour his late comrades with the "flower of being called the strongest". Even after Aoshi succumbs to the darkness and pits himself against former comrades, he holds his true strength back subconsciously, unable to fully sever ties with those alongside whom he has fought. Aoshi also shows the ability to be compassionate even behind his steely expression and glacial eyes; even while ruthlessly completing a mission or securing a victory, he is able to feel sympathy for innocents who have been harmed or respect for an opponent's spirit, but keeps these feelings separate from his duties. Though accustomed to blunt, dispassionate analysis, Aoshi reveals that he is reasonably well versed in employing tact and sensitivity where the facts are too harsh for certain ears.
In volume 24, Aoshi had been through heavy meditations and decided to live a peaceful life by means of being a master of Okina’s inn, Aoiya.

Rurouni Kenshin

Shishio has red eyes. Before his attempted execution, Shishio had black eyebrows, and black slicked-back hair ending in a high ponytail, and a fair complexion.
After being burned, Shishio's skin is brown and cracked, sometimes appearing red. He wears bandages around his entire body to ease the pain and hide his deformity. The remains of his hair sticking out of his head bandages in tufts. Over his bandages, he wears a robe, which varies from indigo to purple depending on the lighting. Both before and after his immolation, Shishio tended to wear his kimono with the right side of his chest and right arm exposed.

Shishio is extremely ruthless, sadistic, and coldblooded. He strongly believes in the concept of social Darwinism, in which the weak exist for the benefit of the strong, and generally appears devoid of compassion or mercy throughout the series.
However, he is not entirely heartless. Despite his sinister nature, he seems genuinely in love with Yumi Komagata, who reciprocated the feelings. He also possesses a dark and twisted sense of humor, claiming initially to Kenshin that he had enslaved an entire town so he could bathe in the hot springs with privacy. He was also able to form bonds to a degree with Sōjirō and Hōji. Despite this, he still sees them as a means to an end. He showed no sadness when Sōjirō chose to leave him, only seeing him as a tool that weakened Kenshin. However, Shishio seems to be a man of honor as he kept his promise to Hōji that he would let him taste victory by his side when he reunited with him and Yumi in hell and planned to take it over.
Shishio displays an extraordinary level of intelligence and insight, leaving the impression of an evil mastermind. He is extremely crafty, being able to hide from the Meiji government despite their efforts to find him, and his plans nearly succeed in bringing them down. He is also quite manipulative and is skilled in exploiting a person's psychology to facilitate his own devices, such as he does with Usui and Aoshi. He also learns from his mistakes; after his brush with death from being knocked out with a bullet to the head, he takes to wearing a hachigane (iron headband) to keep that weakness from being exploited.

He keeps his eyes closed with a polite smile while keeping his composure, though when he shows his true personality his eyes open and he develops a wide grin.

Kanryū seems to care only for money, as seen when he used Takani Megumi for making opium and didn't care about killing the very onmitsu that he hired as long as he kept his fortune. Kanryū tries to address others with a smile and composed, peaceful look, when in reality he looks down on everyone and has a quick temper that becomes apparent easily whenever he is insulted.
He is narcissistic but also cowardly when he realizes his enemy is more powerful than him, trying to buy them off with money or run away. He has no regard for human life, assassinating some of his own men simply because they failed and eating as he heard them scream, and doesn't understand the concept of honor, as he couldn't grasp why Kenshin went to great lengths to save Megumi since there was no monetary benefit for him. He has enough intelligence and cunning to run a successful opium business, and nearly brought down even Kenshin and Aoshi, failing only because of the sacrifice of the four Oniwabanshū.
Kanryū is severely arrogant, thinking his wealth can protect him and as a result hated Aoshi for talking back to him and saying what a coward he was while not listening to his orders. He truly is a spiteful disgusting creature who holds grudges against those he feels has wronged him, as he kills the Oniwabanshū simply because they talked back to him and is sadistic, having wanted to kill them off slowly, which proved to be his downfall as it allowed Beshimi the time to jam his gun with his dart long enough for Kenshin and Aoshi to stop him. He even tried to drag Megumi down with him as his accomplice, but failed when Kenshin silenced him.

Enishi is described by Watsuki as very handsome, probably “too beautiful for a villain.” He has black eyes (highlighted with a blue hue) and spiky white hair, which occasionally casts a shadow over his eyes. He wears a Chinese-made outfit consisting of orange pants with a blue line running down each outside leg, a skin-tight dark blue tank top, and an orange jacket with blue running down the middle, blue cuffs, and a blue-lined collar. He also wears a blue half-cape and slings his watō over his back in a light brown bag. The trademark feature of Enishi, however, is the small round sunglasses he wore until they broke in his final fight with Kenshin. It is possible that Enishi wore his sunglasses to contend with the sensory overload caused by the Nerves of Insanity, which increased his sensory perception, even in its non-active state.
As a child, Enishi wore a basic outfit for a commoner of the era, and his hair was black and shorter. When he was seen by Kenshin at Toba-Fushimi, his hair had turned completely white and his clothes and body had been considerably damaged and worn. He was also in possession of a sword.

When he was younger, Enishi was mostly indifferent to all except his older sister, Tomoe, whom he deeply loves and respects. As an adult, he is also shown to care no less for his dead sister than he did as a child, which is seen when he laments her death and wishes to see her "smile" in his mind, hoping that his Jinchū appeases her spirit. He usually wears a façade of polite happiness while talking to the Six Comrades or others he wishes to gain the trust of, though in actuality he cares little for those around him. He acted the same toward Kenshin at first in an attempt to spite him. However, his true feelings are soon revealed, as Enishi shows himself to utterly despise Kenshin with his entire being, wanting nothing less than to make Kenshin go through the same living hell that he himself went through.
After Tomoe's death and before his defeat, time "stopped moving" for Enishi, shown by how he harbours an extremely vengeful and anger-fuelled personality as well as being short-tempered, unstable, delusional and incredibly ruthless. However, despite these many flaws, Enishi is also quite strategic, elaborate and extremely persistent, with how he develop a complex plan to make his worst enemy suffer. Above all, Enishi is shown to be very obsessive, as his entire life since his sister's departure has revolved around avenging her, to the point where his desire for revenge kept him alive in the harshest of conditions and that carrying out Kenshin's torment was stated to now be his only joy in life. Enishi has been mentally tormented after witnessing Tomoe's death, his existence since her departure having been described as a living hell. His somewhat softer side is also shown when he is seen communicating with his dead sister.
After being defeated by Kenshin, his spirit is broken and he goes through a similar state of hopelessness and depression as his brother-in-law, though his father states that he would find new purpose in life someday and would recover like Kenshin had.


Rurouni Kenshin

Tomoe was a beautiful young woman with jet-black hair and eyes. She is thin and wears a white kimono with a purple shawl (colored light blue in the Trust & Betrayal OVA). She is constantly seen with a serene, almost sad look on her face, and rarely sports an expression of high emotion (for instance, happiness, anger, etc.).

The initial image of Tomoe as she is introduced into the series is blank and quite apathetic. This could be due to the death of her fiance, Kiyosato Akira, who is killed before Tomoe appears in Kenshin's flashback. She says that she's always had trouble expressing herself, not even smiling when Kiyosato proposed to her despite her joy. As such, she partially blames herself for his death. Though when interacting with her brother, Yukishiro Enishi , she becomes affectionate and shows more of her emotional side.
After spending time with Kenshin, Tomoe begins to open up to him and even cries in his arms after confessing how she had tried to hate Kenshin for the murder of Akira. After Kenshin promises to protect the happiness that he has given her, Tomoe finally smiles at him. "This man stole my happiness from me...and gave me a new happiness. Farewell... my second love..." These are her parting words to Kenshin.

When Anji was younger, he was skinnier, and wore a dark colored priest robe and pants.

Anji is, above all, striving for righteousness. Every action he takes is to better the world in his view, though he believes that this may only be done through constant destruction and rebuilding. He appears very patient and thoughtful in a fight, not prone to rash actions or decisions.
Anji used to be a peace-loving Buddhist monk who believed that violence was never to be a resort; however, when his temple was burned down and the children he cared for murdered by the imperialists, his anguish, bitterness, hatred, and rage transformed his beliefs. No longer accepting that Buddha could rightfully choose who lives and dies, he takes the decision into his own hands.
Even after his fall, Anji keeps a fair personality. He refuses to allow innocent people to be hurt, and goes as far as to physically confront Uonuma Usui when the latter attempted to kill Misao , despite the fact that Usui was decidedly stronger. He teaches Sagara Sanosuke the Futae No Kiwami ability in an effort to help the young man get stronger, though he promises to kill him if he cannot learn it within the allotted time limit (i.e. a month, although Sano offers to change the time frame to a week instead). Afterwards, when he believes Sano to have died in vain, in an attempt to to learn the Futae No Kiwami, he wishes to give him a proper burial, but Sano awakens and to Anji's surprise, he demonstrates that he had grasped the Futae No Kiwami .
Upon Kenshin's party's arrival at Hiei, Komagata Yumi expressed her concerns that Anji's acquaintance with Sanosuke might get in the way. Shishio himself did not deny such possibility. He even reinforced her statements that Anji is indeed the most merciful out of the Juppongatana, though at the same time remarked that his wrath had overshadowed his merciful nature.

Byakuya has an eccentric personality, which he is known for. Byakuya is gracious and friendly towards anyone that he perceives as strong as he was willing to have a friendly chat with both Saito and Kenshin, and even invited Saito to join the Kenkaku Heiki because he was impressed by his strength and conviction. This is also why he allowed himself to be apprehended when Saito told him to listen to Eiji after the latter ordered him to surrender. Byakuya has a tendency to categorize those who possess "fighting spirit" , which he defines as those who have suffered tremendous tragedy and despair, yet have become stronger as a result - whether physically, spiritually or mentally.  Because of his warped perspective,  Byakuya views ordinary people - those who have been pampered by peace and complacency -  as mere prey animals while perceiving those who have endured hardship as predators, demons, deities and even natural disasters.  Byakuya also enjoys the battle experiments, as he finds it exciting to find strong individuals and earnestly believes they are necessary in lieu of the west's increasing influence and military power. He believes that the experiments will allow the Japanese people to fortify themselves against hostile foreign invaders by experiencing despair and death. To this end, he views himself as a true patriot that services Japan's needs.
Byakuya has a personal dislike of guns, since they make it easy to kill with very little training. Byakuya believes that power that is attained easily will inevitably corrupt the spirit.

Eventually Inoshige notices Bisco's bow and knowing that monks are not allowed to kill with ranged weapons, and asks Bisco to tell him a sutra. Bisco then reveals himself and runs with Jabi on Actagawa alongside the wall and uses a king trumpet mushroom to launch themselves and jump over the wall.
Near Imihama, they stop for the night. As Jabi's Rust disease spreads, he wishes to tell Bisco something, but Bisco refuses to listen. They are attacked by an Escargot fighter piloted by Tirol and Jabi uses his body to protect Bisco. After taking the Escargot down, Bisco rushes into Imihama to look for a doctor. Asking around, he ends up finding Milo and gives him a mushroom asking him to synthesize it into medicine. As they are chased by Imihama's Watch and Kurokawa 's elite forces, Bisco heads out to distract them, while Milo threats Jabi. Bisco defeats the elite forces, but then faces Pawoo . He attempts to explain that mushrooms aren't bad and consume rust, but Pawoo doesn't believe him. He figures she knows Milo and distracts her, giving him a chance to knock her out.

On their way, Bisco tries to explains to Milo on how to ride Actagawa, who keeps on throwing Milo off him. At night, they stop at Nikko War Memorial, where they see Tirol, who had a balloonworm in her stomach, but Milo manages to pull it out and save her. After selling them some food, they go to sleep, but wake up during the night to find out that the memorial is a giant coal-eating mantis shrimp. As Bisco is on it and can't do anything due to Tirol also clinging to him, he instructs Milo on to where to have Actagawa attack the shrimp. After they do so, Bisco shoots an arrow and grows mushroom, killing the animal and saving them. However, as they were close to the mines, one of the shrimps cannons shoots and destroys the mine, causing them to look for another path.
The group heads out towards Calvero Shellsand Sea. Bisco sees a watermelon and rushes to get it, but a child gets it before him. As he struggles to get it from the child, other armed children appear. The children think they are kidnappers working for Kurokawa and doesn't believe Bisco that they are heading north. Having no choice, Bisco reveals his wanted poster and states they can get large reward if they hand him alive to Imihama. The children then capture Bisco and Milo and lead them to their city. They imprison Bisco, who sees a great harpoon. The children leader, Nuts , explains it belonged to his father, but he was killed after going against Imihama. Kousuke is left to watch over Bisco and Bisco sees he has a train route map. Kousuke explains that his father told him, Kousuke was saved by a Mushroom Keeper when he was very young, but wasn't able to repay the Mushroom Keeper. As thanks, Kousuke gives Bisco the map and leaves to pee. Bisco then easily frees himself as the chains and bars were rusted. Flying blowfish attack the town and the children are unable to fight back. Bisco then kills one with the harpoon and saves Kousuke. He tells Kousuke that the map is defective as it doesn't have furigana, causing Kousuke to realize Bisco can't read kanji. Bisco then offers to shoot an arrow for each station Kousuke names on the map and as Kousuke does, Bisco defeats all the fish. Before they leave town, Nuts gives Bisco his father's harpoon.
Bisco and Milo reach Shimobuki, where they find Tirol frozen. After saving her and explaining they are heading towards Shirakaba Line, she decides to join them and show them the way. They meet some traders and Tirol manages to get them a good deal, including a book as a bonus. They reach the subway and find a train, but it requires old coins to work. Tirol explains she used to be a mechanic and looks into a way to bypass the fare. When she is done, Milo and Tirol check the book they got, but find drawings of animals. Bisco explains its a Mushroom Keeper book and that it should contain various mushroom information and from which animal they come. Milo confirms that and finds a page about Rust Eater, which is found from Pipe Snake. As they prepare to leave with the train, Tirol decides to stay and they thank her for her help. On the train, they got attacked by large group of oilsquids and with team efforts, they manage to defeat it. They reach Weeping Child Ravine, where Bisco explains that 15 years ago the Mushroom Keepers collected a Rust Eater. Suddenly, they see a giant Pipe Snake eating a giant bird and Bisco decides to capture it, but Pawoo shows up. She faces Bisco, not believing him that Milo followed on his own, but then the Pipe Snake captures her. Milo saves her, but ends up in danger and Bisco and Pawoo team up to save him. As they save Milo, Milo and Bisco end up eaten by the snake, but using mushrooms, they kill it from the inside.
They discovered Rust Eater growing on its body, and Bisco tries one, but states its feels like ordinary matsutake. He wishes to continue searching, but Milo attempts to stop him as he is injured. Bisco ends up pushing Milo back, who falls and touches the Rust Eater while his hand is covered in blood from Bisco and it starts to glow. Milo then figures out that the Mushroom Keepers have special blood that can activate the Rust Eater. Kurokawa then attacks them and takes the snake, and shoots Bisco with a Rust Bullet. The next day, Pawoo heads out to Imihama to bring the medicine to Jabi. She gives her doze to Bisco, telling him to protect Milo and reminds him how she called her a beauty, and that she now thinks he is cute too, causing him to blush.
Milo and Bisco stay for Bisco to heal, but Bisco heads out to look after Actagawa. As he returns, he finds Milo acting strange and realizes he put sleepshroom poison in the food. He figures its related to Pawoo and decides to go look for her, but Milo wishes to stop him. They end up in a fight and Milo manages to drug Bisco and put him to sleep, while saying he will risk his body and soul to protect Bisco.
Bisco comes Shimabuki Base and manages to save Milo from Kurokawa moment before he kills him. Kurokawa reveals that he is the one who spread the superstition that the Mushroom Keepers spread rust and that he sold out them to earn money and live good. He attempts to shoot Bisco, but Bisco blows his prosthetic arm. Kurokawa then controls Milo to make him shoot Rust arrows at Bisco. In order to save Bisco, Milo reveals the secret is Mushroom Keepers blood, but Kurokawa explains that he can't let them live as they will hunt him down. He forces Milo to shoot Bisco, but Bisco manages to catch the arrow and throws it back at Kurokawa, injuring his eye. Jabi then comes and uses a mushroom to knock out Kurokawa. As Bisco and the rest escape the base, Kurokawa sends his pawns to chase them. Jabi stays to fight them, while Milo and Bisco escape, but ends up being captured. Kurokawa's pawns catch up to Milo and Bisco and shoot multiple Rust arrows at Milo's back, but Actagawa comes and defeats them. Barely consciousness and heavily injured, Milo tells Bisco to live.
Milo awakens to see his wounds have been treated by Bisco, who then wants to give him medicine for the Rust. Milo tells him to inject himself first, but Bisco lies to him, stating he already did. After wondering about Jabi and Pawoo, Milo suggests that Bisco takes Pawoo on a date, but nervously Bisco tries to refuse. As Milo is about to fall asleep, he asks Bisco if he will be there when he wakes up and Bisco confirms, stating they are partners and will forever be together.
Bisco infiltrates Kurokawa's Miyagi base and pretends to be one of his henchmen. He listens to Kurokawa's plan to create artificial Rust Wind and create more demand for his medicine in order to earn more money. Kurokawa wants Jabi to join him and give him young Mushroom Keepers for their blood, but Jabi refuses. Kurokawa gives a knife unknowingly to Bisco, telling him to cut Jabi's fingers, so that he can't use a bow, but Bisco frees Jabi and attacks Kurokawa, throwing him a floor below him. Bisco tells Jabi to destroy the Ganesha Cannon, while he takes care of Kurokawa. Bisco then heads down to fight Kurokawa. As they fight, Bisco defeats some of his human experiments, but his fingers shatter due to the rust, making him unable to use a bow. Kurokawa manages to shoot Bisco, but he still comes at him and breaks his arm while punching Kurokawa. Thinking he would win, Kurokawa prepares to shoot Bisco, but Milo who got healed from the Rust, comes in time and shoots an arrow, ripping Kurakawa's artificial arm. Bisco then pushes Kurakawa down a boiling Rust, where Kurakawa dies. As Bisco starts to burn too, Milo states he promised that they would be together and Bisco tells him that his soul will find him and if he always smiles like Bisco, he will always be by his side when he smiles. Bisco then asks Milo to kill him, so that he doesn't die from the Rust and Milo accepts, promising that one day their souls would find each other.
Kurokawa gets revived as a Tetsujin, and Milo fights him multiple times, but he still reaches Imihama. There Milo manages to get on the Tetsujin back and starts stabbing it, only to find Bisco's goggles. The Tetsujin then throws Milo on the Imihama wall. However, from the stab wounds, Bisco comes out, healed and with regrown arm. He joins Milo, taking his goggles back and stating he heard him from the next world and came back. Bisco fights the Tetsujin, but each of his arrows create Rust Eaters and manage to split the Tetsujin. He wonders what is going on with him and feels power welling up inside of him. Milo guesses that he is half-human, half-Rust Eater and its due to being drenched in the pipe snake's poison, which cause mushroom spores to enter his body and mix with his blood. They see the Tetsujin bulging up and Tirol reveals it will self-destruct if they attack it, repeating the incident from the past, and that they need to kill the pilot to prevent that. Pawoo states she can break his helm without causing shockwaves, but wants some word of thanks from Bisco, who ends up promising he will give her anything if she returns alive. Pawoo then kisses him, stating she will be taking him, and attacks the Tetsujin managing to split his helm and reveal Kurokawa behind it. Bisco and Milo fight it, but just as Bisco was about to shoot his arrow, Kurokawa throws his arm and covers Bisco's eyes with blood. Helping him aim, Milo states he will be his eyes and to believe. Bisco then shoots an arrow and kills Kurokawa and the Tetsujin, growing large amount of Rust Eater. Later, due to the effects of the Rust Eater, Bisco is immortal and forever young. Not wanting that, he and Milo embark on a new journey to find a way to cure Bisco.

Akira's current appearance

Akira is a very kind-hearted girl, though she is shy and prone to be scared, easily anxious when she is alone or in an unfamiliar place like JCC during her first week. She is not hesitant to taking care of people around her, which often leads to her being easily pushed into unwanted situations. Despite this, Akira is shown to be determined to achieve her goal of finding her aunt Rion Akao , demonstrated during her time at JCC where she accepted the challenge proposed by one of her teachers, Etsuko Satoda who allowed her, Shin and Seba to attack her freely for 24 hours to get a hint on the database.
Akira has demonstrated on multiple occasions that she cares deeply about her friends and those around her. She bases most of her choices, and even her life as an assassin, on her aunt Rion, whom she has looked up to and followed as a role model since childhood. Akira often demonstrates her inspiration by Rion and feels they are similar despite their differences. This connection leads her to sometimes refuse help from others and gain courage on her own, always considering how Rion would react in a given situation. Such as, during her first encounter with Sakamoto on the plane, she refused the bullets he offered, stating that Rion would not have accepted them in her place. [2]
She also has a more bloodthirsty side that emerges when she is fighting people who have hurt her friends, and she has no problem injuring or murdering her opponents. A trait that seems to run in her family, demonstrated after Kanaguri revealed to her that her aunt Rion had died. However, once she snaps out of this state, she is shown to be averse to killing. This is shown when she panicked during the JCC Transfer Exams Arc after she and Sakamoto were captured by the other applicants.

Similarly, Amane gets along well with fellow JCC students, even helping one prepare for a test and being visibly disturbed at their potential deaths when Kashima announced his intention to massacre JCC faculty and students.

Apart was a perfectionist to the point of obsession. After perfectly dismembering someone into equal pieces to "look inside them", he realizes that one of the manga on the wall is missing, thus breaking the perfect row, which causes him to go outside to purchase the manga to fulfill his perfectionism, even commenting that he "may be kind of a perfectionist". This is seen again when interrupts a fight in order to rearrange some figures that had fallen over. He is also cold-hearted, barely caring about dismembering a dog when he was a child and feeling nothing when he dismembers people in his later years. He hates people who are unorganized, calling them crude and that they rub him the wrong way, saying how they annoy him without even caring.
Apart has an urge to 'connect' with people, which are people he sees as strong, as he says he's enjoying his fight with Sakamoto and feels like he can connect to him. As he's walking around Tokyo Tower, he says that he wants to connect with more people, which stems from his childhood loneliness and parental abandonment. He sees his dismemberment of people as his way as reaffirming that connection, as a way to cope with his increasing loneliness. His killing makes him wonder why life is so painful, since no one likes him and that he's human like everyone else, asking Sakamoto why he rejects him to 'connect' with him.
Since he has never interacted with anyone in a friendly way, when he sits at the table with Sakamoto and company, and they talk to him like a regular person, he comments on how weird they are, with him blushing in the process, showing that he's shy.

This status of being "hard-boiled" can apply to any characteristic, as he also recognized Sakamoto's angry wife, Aoi Sakamoto , as being "hard-boiled".
Because of his desire to be hard-boiled, Boiled tries to remain cool and collected at all times, but can still get emotional at times, such as when he shouts at Obiguro when she behaves in a way he doesn't approve.
He's also very honorable as he refuses to harm anyone or anything beside his target. This even includes ants, which he stops Obiguro from nearly stepping on. Boiled held a grudge against Sakamoto stemming from his academy days based on a misunderstanding, and shed tears when Sakamoto didn't remember him.
