We accept your drawing in this folder, if it features both or each character individually. This pairing is considered almost-canon in anime and canon in manga. The anime ended will a filler arc, instead of following the manga. Kamiya Kaoru Kaoru is the instructor of the Kamiya Kasshin-ryū fighting school. She inherited the fighting style and a small dojo from her late father. At the beginning of the story, she runs the school by herself but has no students; she seems likely to lose the dojo until Kenshin appears and helps her. She is independent, possessive, compassionate, courageous, feisty, strong-willed, and a great fighter—with occasional mood swings. Kaoru is also known for her bad cooking (disliked by her friends and family) and her ability to see the good in others. Though she is short-tempered and possessive, Kaoru is very selfless. She falls in love with Himura Kenshin at the beginning of the series, and continues to love him even after learning about his past crimes. In the story, Kaoru is often compared to a tanuki (raccoon dog). Kaoru holds her beliefs strongly and proudly, almost stubbornly, particularly her father's ideal of katsujin-ken ("swords that give life"): swordsmanship should be used not to kill, but to protect. This belief differentiates from the common ideal of most swordsmen, who believe that a sword should be used for "mastery and death". Himura Kenshin, however, feels that her beliefs should become reality. Kenshin Himura As a former legendary assassin, Kenshin is an extremely powerful swordsman with virtually unmatched skills. After finishing his job as the murderer "Hitokiri Battosai" in the Ishin Shishi, Kenshin assumes the life of a wanderer. Ten years after the Revolution, he arrives in Tokyo, where he meets Kamiya Kaoru. She invites him to stay in her dojo even after she discovers that Kenshin is the "Battosai". During his residence in the dojo, Kenshin establishes lifelong relationships with many people, including ex-enemies, such as the former Shinsengumi member Saitō Hajime. Kenshin desires to protect every individual from danger without harming others. Formerly known as "the strongest hitokiri," Kenshin is the main target of many old enemies and people who want to gain his title. Thus, he avoids letting others get too close to him personally for their own protection. However, he eventually begins relying on his friends, allowing them to fight alongside him.
