Based loosely on the real-life assassin Kawakami Gensai (one of the 4 ”Hitokiri of Kyoto”) this movie series broke all box office records in Japan and has ignited a worldwide following. Growing from manga through anime, the story of Himura Kenshin evolved into three live action films that bring the story to life. Having sworn off killing 10 years earlier and now a ”Rurouni” (wanderer), Kenshin has replaced his sword with a back-blade weapon, the cutting edge is where the blunt side used to be and the cutting edge is now blunt. He cannot kill with this sword, but it can be used to protect those close to him. Director Otomo Keishi offers an action-packed trilogy on the story of Kenshin available with English subtitles for the first time!
