Character Profile: Yahiko Myojin

Yahiko is a young boy who is Kaoru's first apprentice. He studies the Kamiya Kasshin style, but has also picked up a bit of the Hiten Mitsurugi style.

Yahiko can be a little rude sometimes. He calls Kaoru "ugly woman" on occasion and sometimes he calls Sano "rooster head". But he respects Kaoru a lot, as well as Sano.

Yahiko likes a girl named Tsubame, a waitress at the Akabeko. He freed her from a man named Mikio, who was using her to steal money from the Akabeko.

In the English dubbed version, Yahiko also goes by the name "Yoshi".

Yahiko has a short manga work by Nobuhiro Watsuki as "Yahiko no Sakabato" in which Yahiko is the main character and older. Kenshin tells Yahiko to train with some kids. It turns out to be a hostage situation by a man named Muto who thinks is fighting for freedom and equality. Yahiko opens his eyes to the truth that he is isn't 'cause he is one of Shishio Makoto's followers. Muto gives up and was shot by Lt. Kitaki and Yahiko used the reverse blade on him. Then the story ends when he goes to Akabeko.

Yahiko is Kaoru's apprentice, and is a student of the Kamiya Kasshin Ryu style. He also has watched Kenshin fight, and has picked up some of the Hiten Mitsurugi Ryu style as a result.

He used Ryu Sui Sen on some bad guys in order to protect a town, but then fell unconscious. He is a kid who uses a bamboo sword like Kaoru, because the Kamiya Kasshin Ryu style is meant to protect people not kill them.
