The story is about a fictional assassin named Himura Kenshin, formerly known as the "Hitokiri Battōsai" who becomes a wanderer to protect the people from Japan. Being a fan of the Shinsengumi, Watsuki designed the characters by basing their characteristics to that of real Shinsengumi members and also used fictional representation of them and other historical characters from the Bakumatsu period of Japan.
