Kenji is the son of Kenshin and Kaoru. Although he looks exactly like his father without the cross scar, Kenji really doesn't like Kenshin that much, but instead, completely adores his mother.

Not much of Kenji was seen, since appeared only in the final chapter of the manga, but his future was elaborated upon more in the Passing of Time Arc. When Kenshin had left Kaoru to assist Yamagata Aritomo, Kenji had grown tired of seeing his mother saddened all of the time, so the young boy traveled to Kyoto and demanded to be taught by his father's master, Hiko Seijuurou, in the same style his father used, the Hiten Mitsurugi Ryuu. When he had seen his father and Yahiko clash on the day of Yahiko's Genpuku, he wanted to possess the same power as Kenshin. However, when Kaoru was practically lying on her deathbed, Kenji refused to return home. It took Yahiko to beat some sense into the stubborn boy, who had already shown that he was a natural born talent for the sword. After that, Kenji was handed down the Sakabatou, which Yahiko had, as a late Genpuku present for the boy to continue his father's legacy, and even got a girlfriend who looked almost identical to his mother.
