The longest manga arc was Rurouni Kenshin: Kyoto Arc. The sequel was announced a few days after the ending, but the new cast members were unveiled soon after. Among the significant figures who will be pertinent are:
- Makoto Furukawa as Makoto Shishio
- Daiki Yamashita as Seta Sojiro
- Aya Yamane as Misao Makimachi
- Yuichi Nakamura as Hiko Seijuro
The manga by Nobuhiro Watsuki served as the inspiration for the anime. It was published by Shueisha in Weekly Shonen Jump magazine from 1994 to 1999. A sequel, Rurouni Kenshin: The Hokkaido Arc, is being serialised by the same publisher. Watanuki's wife, Kaworu Kurosaki, plays a significant role in the show.
The manga was first adapted into an anime between 1996 and 1999 by studio Gallop and DEEN, who also produced a number of OVA series. The complete manga has been converted into five live-action versions of the franchise.
The original Rurouni Kenshin manga series was licensed by Viz Media.in English. Kyoto Arc starts in volume 8 of the manga, for which the story is described as:
In the 11th year of Meiji, on the day marked in the Western calendar as May 14th, time once again begins to flow. The shocking midday murder of Department of Internal Affairs Chief Okubo a fait accompli, Kenshin leaves for Kyoto, scene of chaos and bloodshed–against the wishes of nearly everyone who knows him as the gentle “rurouni.” Awaiting him there is Shishio Makoto, the hitokiri who replaced the cold-eyed assassin Himura Battosai who forswore further killing and took up the reversed-blade sakabatô. But does Kenshin go to Kyoto for a duel…or for a death-match?!
