The story is set in the Meiji era of Japan and follows a wandering swordsman named Kenshin Himura (played by Takeru Satoh), who once served as an assassin during the turbulent Bakumatsu period. Kenshin now carries a reverse-edged sword and seeks to atone for his past by protecting the innocent and upholding justice without taking lives.
