Banryoku - Myriad Green Leaves
It was at a crucial moment in history that a young boy was found by the master swordsman Seijuro Hiko. The boy's hair was a fiery red, matching the ambition and determination that blazed in his strangely haunted violet eyes. This steel was forged from fires of sorrow and rage at the loss of the only family he had known...and his failure to protect them from harm.
Hiko took him in as his student, strengthening him and passing on to him the skills and deadly precision of the Hiten-Mitsurugi-jutsu. Eventually, however, the flames of the boy's heart grew stronger and his desire to protect overcame him, turning him away from his master and to the life of the hitokiri...assassin. His skill in battoujutsu was unparalleled and he became known through the lands as...
Himura Kenshin...the Battousai.
