Absolute Anime

So I've only started watching Rurouni Kenshin, and I've noticed something kind of weird. Why does Kenshin-kun have the same last name as the fake Battousai, Himura Gohei? (isn't that Gohei's last name?) If anybody's noticed that and can possibly tell me why, then please, please, please tell me why that is! I mean, Battousai the Manslayer is Kenshin and the fake Battousai has the same last name and claims to be Battousai the Manslayer.... I'm just completely lost!

Gohei's last name is Hiruma. Kenshin's is Himura. An easy mix up.

wtf...

Oh. Sorry. The subtitles I have on mine went by really fast so I couldn't tell. Thank you!

Why are you watching subbed of it.. Last i rember, Kenshin was one of the shows that didnt get slaughtered when dubbed.

I know but when I downloaded it from Animea.net it was subbed. Right now I just want to watch Rurouni Kenshin and then maybe make some AMVs. So for now, subbed or dubbed, I honestly don't care. I also like shows in Japanese with subtitles because it seems funnier to me.
Is Rurouni Kenshin still called its orginial name in English?
