    That was a character from the popular Japanese anime Rurouni Kenshin. I didn't realize he was based off an actual historical figure... or is that site a gimmick?

    That's cool, I never knew that. I practically memorize every episode by heart even though I was a kid when I watched it so it's a bit surprising, and exciting, that he was based off actual events. Reading about his attitude and physical description in the OP's URL exactly fits the way he was portrayed in the anime.

    Except IRL he looked more like Mr. Spock than anything else. :p

    That's nuts. Also, the piece of story about Okita Soji was also added in the anime. I wonder if the main character Kenshin Himura was real as well?

    Kenshin is a fictional character loosely based to the hitokiri, Kawakami Gensai http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kawakami_Gensai .
