I know in the 2nd OVA we see that Kaoru's mother died (probably of an illness) and she was grieving while her father was practicing outside. I know the OVA is not usually considered canon, and was wondering if this same scene had been in the manga. If it was it would be good to add under her history. I know at some point it was referenced that her 'parents' (plural) had died in the Seinen war, but the article only specifically references her father. Can anyone clarify who died when? Katsuhagi 02:13, 17 August 2006 (UTC)
I put a small note in that Kaoru uses a bokken while Yahiko uses a shinai, and double checked the volume (15) to make sure. I practice kendo and thought the difference may be worth noting. -- Katsuhagi 00:10, 3 August 2006 (UTC)
What family name does Kaoru take when she marries Kenshin? I always assumed she'd become Himura Kaoru, but some people I've heard from suggest that Kenshin adopts her family name (Kamiya Kenshin?) due to the fact that she is of samurai descent with a real family name, whereas Himura is just a name given him by Katsura Koguro so he'd blend in with the samurai. However wouldn't it be against Japanese custom (perhaps even law) for the man to take the woman's name, seeing as Japan is a patriarchal culture?

Again, I've deleted your edit. Where does the following quote come from??? It isn't from the (original) script!
I would live my life, the rest of my life, only for you, just to make you happy, because that is what you truly deserve.
Kenshin and Kaoru marry around two years after they first met? according to what? They met in early 1878 and Kenji looks about two or three in Summer 1882. In any case, since it's not stated in the manga, it's not a fact. Seven 03:01, 28 September 2006 (UTC)
Again, I've corrected your edit. There's no point of mentioning that Kenshin and Karou are alive and healthy in 1883, as the polt from Seisōhen takes place after that!
I've deleted your edit about Kenshin and Kaoru being deeply in love (in 1883), because Wikipedia is an encyclopedia (not a forum to write about your comments or/and feelings about the series!)
Your insightful edits would be great for a RK fan website, but the articles here should be based on facts. Seven 22:12, 29 September 2006 (UTC)
In the past month, an anonymous user's been editing the article (as well as a few other RK articles) not only with facts, but also with inaccurate info, "fan fic" and personal interpretations repeatedly. He/She has disregarding the policies and comments from other editors such as Katsuhagi, Sasuke-kun27, and myself.
Moreover, on 25 October 2006, he/she changed 202.156.6.54's "i luv tomoe... she is sooooo cute and pretty!!!!!!!" to "i strongly dislike tomoe... she is sooooo dead and ugly!!!!!!!" on the Yukishiro Tomoe discussion page. (Whether 202.156.6.54's message was pointless or not, this anonymous user went too far.)
Since the page has been a recent target of persistent vandalism or/and persistent edits by this anonymous user, should we suggest the page be protected? Seven 00:24, 27 October 2006 (UTC)
Okay, I've put in a semi-protection request. Hopefully they'll get to it fairly quickly. Katsuhagi 01:11, 27 October 2006 (UTC)
Yeah. Very nice, but listen to the exp. first. Sorry bout the editing. I don't visit the discussion page all that often, and since the more 'romantic' parts of the edits were repeatedly deleted, i thought it was mostly because of annoyed 'tomoe fans' bothered by the credit given. But take a look at this: Back when i first visited the Himura Kenshin page, there was a whole section dedicated to Kenshin's time with Tomoe. And, scrolling down the page, i saw there was what... less than TWO LINES dedicated to the progress of Kenshin and Kaoru's relationship, even when her part in his life was just as big as Tomoe's (or bigger).
A few weeks back, Kaoru bashing was going on not in the discussion page, but on the actual info page thousands will see. She was repeatedly criticized and reffered to as an 'ugly tomboy.' It seems your heroic editing wasn't around to revert that, was it? I reverted it back, but several times the anonymous editor kept on replacing it. So i thought 'Screw it, i'm gonna give them just an ounce of their own insulting crap.' So yes, i did do that little change. But, unlike the anonymous editor who bashed Kaoru on her INFO page and Repeatedly reverted it, i only wrote it down once, and on a discussion page. When it was reverted back to its original 'glory' i let it be, unlike the other anonymous editor. Don't dish out what you can't take back.
If you are so deeply bothered by my one comeback, but easily overlooked the insults about Kaoru given on her INFO page REPEATEDLY, i fail to understand your way of thinking. What i did may have been going 'too far' as you have put it, but where that anonymous editor went was further than i will ever go, and you didn't seem to mind when he/she went that far, did you?
Some of the stuff you've edited wasn't mine. I reverted it because i liked how it sounds and again believed it was the same Tomoe fan doing the previous insulting. Yeah, some of my stuff may be a little opinionated, and i understand the 'factual' deal, but when you look at the difference between mentions of Kaoru and mentions of Tomoe on Kenshin's page, don't you think the editor who made such drastic differences in mention of his two lovers was opinionated, too?
Whatever. I honestly think that Kenshin's page is biased, and so i biased Kaoru's page, too. But i guess it doesn't really matter. A site that would let ANYBODY edit its stuff obviously hasn't thought about the consequences. I mean... anybody could go to Hitler's page and write that he loved to wear pink frocks over purple lingerie and especially loved wearing burgundy lipstick.
Don't worry. This site is pretty stupid to let anybody edit on it (Yes, including me), and i think i'll be ignoring it from now on.
But if Kaoru gets insulted ever again, you'll be hearing from me.'' —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 209.94.202.90 ( talk • contribs) .

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template.

This article says Kaoru is a kendo teacher, but there's a closeup of her dojo sign in the chapter 151 of the manga (page 58 in the Japanese release, and as for the English one I don't know — I use an illegal scanlated copy :-) ). The dojo sign reads "Kamiya Kasshin Kenjutsu Dojo". Aren't kendo and kenjutsu two different things? More to the point, Wikipedia says kendo is kinda recent set of sword arts, emerging from kenjutsu and starting no earlier than 1912, and RK manga is set in 1878. Kaoru's ja-wiki profile also mentions kenjutsu but doesn't say a word about kendo. So if you ask me, I'm seriously in doubt about Kaoru teaching kendo. ru:Ari —Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.147.154.193 ( talk) 23:41, 14 February 2009 (UTC)
In Volume 1, Act 5: The Fight Merchant, Page 127, Kaoru states that her grandfather was a swordsman and an ink painter; she sells one of the paintings so she makes some extra money. Anyway, I'm not sure where to fit this detail in the article... WhisperToMe ( talk) 05:10, 5 September 2009 (UTC)

Hello
Tintor2, I will be reviewing this article.
The article is fine. The Appearances section is well-cited and isn't given undue weight in the article. The concept section is also well-cited, with proper referencing to the source material. The reception section is free from synthesis as each statement is sourced. I have only one minor concern: the statement in the Reception section which states: "Miki Fujitani (who voices the character) said in an interview that in the OVA series Kaoru is brave and very different from her original version." Exactly how is Kaoru different in the OVA series from the manga, according to Fujitani? This isn't a major issue, but a clarification would be appreciated. I would pass this article right now, but I am first waiting for a response from any of the article's contributors. Narutolovehinata5 t c csd new 13:00, 28 January 2016 (UTC)
Back in March, there was a "did you know" from this article that stated:
... that the Rurouni Kenshin manga character Kamiya Kaoru was originally meant to die, but the author decided to make her survive to give young readers a happy ending?
The problem is, that statement is somewhat misleading. It seems to imply that the death that we see was originally meant to be a real death but then was changed to be a fakeout partway through the story. If you read Watsuki's notes, he mentions that he considered having her die, but he never said that he intended to go through with it. I recall his notes saying he planned to fake Kaoru's death from the beginning of the Jinchu arc so thst the story would have a happy ending. You can see the setup for her survival several chapters before her apparent death. It's a small but important distinction: Kaoru was never "meant to die". — Preceding unsigned comment added by 172.56.38.80 ( talk) 21:22, 2 June 2016 (UTC)
