Sakuramaru

Members of the Shinguryuu school. Although they appear in the original manga, not all of their names are revealed. In the original, they are quickly defeated by Kenshin Himura (with the exception of one, who fights evenly with Kenshin Himura, which surprises Kaoru Kamiya and Yahiko Myoujin; Kenshin Himura himself acknowledges his skill). However, in the first anime adaptation, each of them is portrayed as fighting on par with Kenshin Himura. The elegant man who wields twin swords overpowers military soldiers during a clash with a special army unit, and later witnesses the one-on-one duel between Kenshin Himura and Raijuuta Isurugi.
