Red hair and a ponytail: His slightly longer red hair is tied back into a single braid at the rear.
He bears a large cross-shaped scar on his left cheek, a symbol of his past.
Standing 158 cm tall, he is quite petite for a man, with feminine features that don’t immediately suggest strength.
In everyday life, he wears simple red or purple kimonos and carries at his side an “unslaying sword” (a reverse-bladed sword), whose blade and ridge are reversed.
In short, he is gentle and humble, yet his spirit will never break.
When surprised or puzzled, he habitually says, “Ohoro?”—a laid-back personality. He always speaks politely to everyone and is a kind man skilled in household chores.
Once, during the late Edo period, he killed countless people as “Battōsai the Manslayer,” and from deep remorse over those deeds, he vowed never again to take another life and to protect the happiness of those around him.
The sharpness of the “manslayer” emerges when angered: when his friends or the weak are unjustly harmed, his usual gentleness vanishes, revealing the cold, overwhelming presence of the former manslayer.

Forehead and red headband: He wears long black hair that stands stiffly upright, with a thin red headband tied around it. His face is sharp and resolute, his eyes piercing and keen; on the back of his white jacket, the single character “evil” is boldly written, while his chest is exposed, wrapped in a bandage. His upper garment is left wide open, and he has white bandages wrapped around his chest and wrists.

He speaks in a rough, gruff manner.
He calls Himura Kenshin simply “Kenshin,”
Kaoru Kamiya “Miss Kamiya,”
Myōjin Yahiko “Yahiko,”
and Takane Megumi “Megumi.”
His personality is fiery and deeply masculine: he loathes dishonesty and is warm-hearted and fiercely loyal. When his friends are in trouble, he’ll risk his own life to come to their aid. A brawler at heart, he’s also a caring big brother figure: though blunt and quick-tempered, he often looks after the younger Myōjin Yahiko and can’t stand seeing someone in distress. Usually, he hangs out at the Kamiya Dojo, eating free meals, or runs up bills at the Akabeko (a beef hot-pot restaurant), showing a rather lax attitude toward money and details.

He sports an energetic hairstyle with his bangs and back hair standing up. His distinctive features include slanted, determined-looking large eyes. He has a petite, boyish build and is very small for his age—only 10 years old and 128 cm tall. He carries a kimono and a bamboo sword.
“A proud, hot-blooded young man who hates losing more than anyone else.”
He absolutely detests being treated like a child or being protected as a weakling. No matter how powerful the opponent or how grown-up they may be, he never shows the slightest fear. He’s always bickering with Sagara Sanosuke—calling him “bird-head” and even hurling insults at Kaoru, such as calling her “ugly”—but deep down, he deeply respects and admires Kenshin and the others. He harbors a strong sense of purpose: “I want to grow stronger quickly and fight by Kenshin’s side,” and possesses an inner strength that enables him to keep striving without ever complaining.
A cheeky yet lively boyish tone
First-person pronoun: “I”
