Kamiya Kaoru

Age 17, she is the head of the Kamiyakasshinryuu, a sword school which has a philosophy of using the sword for protection, not killing. She can be very nice and has a generous nature, but is quick-tempered. Her two students are Yahico and Yutarou. She has no brothers or sisters, or parents and was apparently living by herself before Kenshin arrived. She forms an attachment to Kenshin because with him at the doujou she is not alone and often worries that Kenshin will abruptly leave without telling her, since during one of their first encounters he had told her that he was a wanderer and bound to just go wherever he happened to. She is a terrible cook, which she has been told by Sanosuke and Yahiko though Kenshin doesn't seem to mind her cooking. One of the things she says that I remember is when she says "BAKA!" (stupid, idiot, etc.), which is then followed by brief violence.
