Soft-spoken, serene and humble, Himura Kenshin's usual demeanor suits his effeminate appearance perfectly, always willing to put others before himself, both in terms of well-being and social standing. Of small, slender build and with a youthful, feminine visage, Himura Kenshin cuts quite a different figure than would be expected of the legendary Hitokiri Battōsai and his appearance belies his twenty-eight years of age, making him look roughly ten years younger. He will gladly do chores at ease.
