His most recognisable feature is the cross-shaped scar on his cheek, which earned the series its alternate title outside Japan, Samurai X.
Set in the beginning of the Meiji era (1868 to 1912), it focuses on the story of Kenshin Himura, a rurouni (wanderer) who was formerly known as a legendary assassin called Hitokiri Battousai (sword-wielding manslayer). The anime, on the other hand, aired in 1996 to 1998, with one film and a couple of original videos (OVAs) released in 1999, 2001, and 2011.
