Himura, Kenshin
緋村 剣心
Spoiler
However, before full completion of the sword style could be passed on to Kenshin, the Japanese Revolution had been happening at the time and right before Kenshin's eyes. Because of his kind nature and seeing people suffering, he knew he needed to do something about it. He left in the middle of his training and without his master's blessing and joined the Imperialists. It was during the Revolution where Kenshin met Tomoe, his first love and wife. (See Rurouni Kenshin: Trust and Betrayal OVAs). During the revolution, Kenshin was given the nickname of Hitokiri Battousai because of his god-like speed of drawing a sword to kill the enemy instantly.
After helping the Imperialist to a position where they would undoubtedly win the revolution, Kenshin left the revolution all-together with a vow to never kill again and the reverse-blade sword handed to him by Shakku-dono. It was Tomoe's death by his hands that pushed him over the edge of never to kill again.

Kenshin is usually depicted as a care-free swordsman who is very aloof and tends to be a bit simple-minded when it comes to living normally. He is seen doing many of the chores around the dojo that he stays at with Kaoru (i.e., cooking, cleaning, laundry, etc.). He believes it is his way of repaying Kaoru for allowing him to stay at her dojo (although it seems he has gotten attracted to Kaoru in the end).
However, his swordsmanship ranks among the elite, as he is seen defeating every rival (with the exception of Hajime Saitou, which ended in a draw). His battle senses are top-notch, and he recognizes even the slightest of advantages, strategies, and tactics during a sword battle.
