Kenshingumi In Rurouni Kenshin

Kenshingumi is a term used to refer to the main group of characters that live or operate from the Kamiya Dojo. Here is the list of them:

Himura Kenshin
Nickname: Hitokiri Battosai
Fighting Style: Hiten Mitsurugi-ryu, Kamiya Kasshin-ryu
Weapons: Sakabato Shinuchi, Sakabato Kageuchi, Katana, Wakizashi
Description: Himura Kenshin is a former legendary assassin known as Hitokiri Battosai. At the end of the Bakumatsu, he becomes a wandering samurai, now wielding a sakabato, a katana that is incapable of killing. Kenshin wanders the country offering protection and aid to those in need, as atonement for the killings he once committed as an assassin. In Tokyo, he meets a young woman named Kamiya Kaoru, who invites him to live in her dojo despite learning about Kenshin's past. Throughout the series, Kenshin begins to establish relationships with many people, including ex-enemies, while dealing with his fair share of foes, new and old.
  • Hiten Mitsurugi-ryu Techniques: It is the legendary signature fighting style of Himura Kenshin rooted in the concept of striking in a single blow. Both offensive and defensive maneuvers are executed with minimal movement to increase the ability to counter-attack and to conserve energy.
    • Ryutsuisen (Dragon Hammer Flash): Usually initiated by a powerful jump, then this technique's practitioner uses the momentum of his fall to strengthen a two-handed sword swing that brings his blade down on his enemy's head or shoulder.
    • Ryukansen (Dragon Coil Flash): Most effective when surrounded by enemies as this technique has the user spin to attack in all directions. One spins in a full circle, adding momentum and centrifugal force to the strength of the sword swing.
    • Ryushosen (Dragon Soaring Flash): The opposite of Ryutsuisen, Ryushosen is a rising attack meant to strike the jaw from below.
    • Ryusosen (Dragon Nest Flash): A massive flurry of strikes delivered to the opponent. The sheer speed of the slashes makes this technique difficult to counter or defend.
    • Doryusen (Earth/Land Dragon Flash): A ranged attack, Doryusen strikes an opponent outside of the user's range by striking the ground and sending earthen debris at said opponent with knockout force.
    • Kuzuryusen (Nine-Head Dragon Flash): A dashing attack that uses Godspeed to simultaneously strike all nine vital spots on the foe's body from a normal kendo stance. It is said to be unavoidable and nearly unblockable.
  • Battojutsu Techniques: It deals specifically with the rapid drawing and sheathing of a sword.
    • Soryusen (Twin Dragon Flash): After the sword strike lands, the sheath strike delivers a pulverizing blow capable of crushing bone and shattering wood.
    • Hiryusen (Flying Dragon Flash): After assuming a Battojutsu stance, user rotates the body rapidly and then stops, aiming the sheath at target. The force shoots the sword's grip out of the sheath like an arrow, allowing one to strike a target outside of his reach.
    • Ryumeisen (Dragon Cry Flash): An unusual technique in which one uses the Godspeed of Battojutsu to sheathe the sword rather than to draw it. The speed and force create a miniature sonic boom that can be used to temporarily stun opponents.
    • Amakakeru Ryu no Hirameki (Flash of the Heavenly Flying Dragon): This secret ultimate technique is a powerful Battojutsu technique whose secret lies in adding second step of the foot for the strike. It momentarily creates an instantaneous acceleration to the forward-charge as well as the sword draw. Meanwhile, the range of the attack is increased and the timing of the attack changes slightly, which can throw off the opponent.

Himura Kaoru 
Nickname: Kaoru-dono
Fighting Style: Kamiya Kasshin-ryu
Weapons: Bokken, Shinai
Description: Kamiya Kaoru is the instructor of a kendo school in Tokyo called Kamiya Kasshin-ryu. All of its students leave when a large number of people are killed by someone claiming to be Hitokiri Battosai and a practitioner of Kamiya Kasshin-ryu, damaging her school's reputation. Kaoru is saved from this murderous impostor by the real Battosai, Himura Kenshin, now a pacifist wanderer. Kaoru invites Kenshin to stay at her dojo as she notes that he is a gentle person instead of a hitokiri. As the series continues, Kaoru develops strong romantic feelings for Kenshin, who is constantly haunted by his past deeds and believes he does not deserve happiness. At the end of the series, Kaoru becomes the wife of Kenshin and the mother of Kenji Himura.
  • Tsuka no Gedan: Hiza Hishigi (Hilt Low-Level: Knee Squatter): A last resort technique, used when the blade of the sword is broken. It is used by breaking the hilt against the opponent's leg to incapacitate them.

Myojin Yahiko 
Nickname: Tokyo Shizoku, Catcher of a thousand blades
Fighting Style: Kamiya Kasshin-ryu
Weapons: Shinai, Boken, Sakabato
Description: Myojin Yahiko is an orphan from a samurai family who was forced to work as a pickpocket to repay the debt he had presumably owed, as his parents died before they could repay it. When he is rescued by Himura Kenshin, he decides that he will grow up to be just like Kenshin. But because of his strong beliefs, Kenshin will not teach the sword style he had learned. Therefore, Kenshin arranges for Yahiko to be trained in Kamiya Kasshin-ryu by Kamiya Kaoru. As the series progresses, Yahiko becomes skilled at swordsmanship and faces many opponents. By the end of the series, Yahiko was the only member of Kenshin's team to not leave due to his strong family bond with both Kaoru and Kenshin.
  • Hadome (Blade Halt): Hadome is performed by crossing user wrists above his head and stopping a downward karatake strike with the backs of the hands before the blade strikes the wrists or the skull.
    • Hawatari (Sword Crossing): An optional second step to the Hadome, Hawatari is a strike that is delivered after the Hadome has been performed successfully.
    • Hadachi (Sword Sever): Myojin Yahiko halts an opponent's blade between the thumb and fingers of his right hand and then, finding the sword's weakest point, snaps the blade with his hand.
  • Curse on the Descendants: It involves a flying jump kick to an opponent's groin.

Sagara Sanosuke
Nickname: Zanza
Weapons: Zanbato, Fists, Futae no Kiwami
Description: Sagara Sanosuke is a former member of the Sekiho Army. When the group was destroyed by the Meiji government, he became a fighter-for-hire to calm his anger by fighting. During his introduction in the series, he encounters the wanderer Himura Kenshin, who easily defeats him and is able to convince him to stop his mercenary work and instead start protecting people. Sanosuke becomes Kenshin's best friend as well as his partner in most of their fights.
  • Mastery of the Two Layers: He implements a double-strike. The first strike counters and negates the target object's natural resistance and the second strike, delivered within 1/75th of a second, strikes the target object before it can recover from the initial blow, thereby causing it to shatter completely.
  • Mastery of The Three Layers: His original technique which along with the first two strikes he pushes open his fist creating a third strike this was used to defeat the creator of the two layers.
