He wears flaming gloves with a metal strip on them and also wears what resembles a championship belt for something. He stands at around 5'9" and is very muscular.

History: Kenshin grew up a poor homeless boy on the streets of an island in the East Blue. From a young age he grew up fighting on the streets for a meal often stealing food and getting beat up by adult vendors. For years he survived by stealing from others and as such never really had anyone to depend on. He was a fiery youth and often tried to fight back but due to his limited knowledge of fighting and his more often than not large opponents he was often beat up. One day while on the streets when he was around the age of 10 he saw a well respected Martial Arts expert and challenged him to combat.

The master of course accepted the offer in order to humble the young man which he did swiftly. Kenshin upset but not discouraged begged the master to teach him so that one day he could be the best and never suffer defeat again. The master accepted and Kenshin began to live with him in his dojo. At first it was very difficult for Kenshin to fit in around the other students. He was undisciplined, inpatient, and had no technique, he was the dunce of the class. Not being a stranger to the outcast role he embraced it and used it as an opportunity to make everyone that much more surprised when he rose to the top.

He trained night and day and along with his body his technique developed. Kenshin was no prodigy at the art but he made up for it with pure physical ability. He was the strongest, the fastest, and could endure the most but he was not the best where it counted. He worked for countless hours over a span of eight years to perfect his technique and when he was 18 he finally did it. He learned everything his master had to teach him and left the dojo truly the best.

He did not know where to go from that point in his life, he thought he would still be fighting on the streets for a meal when he was as old as he was now. Instead he was a high level martial arts practitioner who had to leave to perfect his craft. He knew although he left a master at that dojo he was not a true master in his own eyes. To be a master he would have to become the absolute best, something being the best at one dojo on a small island wasn't going to cut. He decided he would follow his free spirit and his love of fighting and become a pirate where he could do what he wants and go where he wants.

He doesn't really care who he joins up with or what their goals are as long as he can reach his own along the way. He set off of his home island in search of freedom and perfection. He traveled for a short time alone fighting opponents winning all of his battles, most people described him as a monster. His strength was described as the link between humans and giants, he was very fast but far from the fastest, and he could take damage like no other without going down. He knows once he finds a crew of pirates to join they will be a great asset to him being able to realize his goal in life.

Personality: Kenshin is an easy going man, he loves to fight and train his martial arts but does not normally go looking for fights. He is somewhat secretive as he normally always has his hood up under most any circumstances only taking it down by choice when he sees fit. He has great loyalty and commitment to what or whoever he pledges it too.
