Saito Hajime

Drop Point: Tendo Dojo
Saito Hajime is a central character in Rurouni Kenshin. He is a part of the Internal Affairs of the Meji Government, and former Shinsengumi, a group that was part of the Bakumatsu.

He is a serious, lone wolf, aloof, and dry-sense of humor kind of guy, though he is intelligent, crafty, and though he stood on the opposite end of the revolution war against Kenshin, he has a begrudging respect for the former man-slayer. Saito's skills are on par with Kenshin, as he was able to defeat him when he saw him again at Karou's dojo during the second part of the series.
Lore: Saito will somehow appear in the Tendo Dojo, where he will meet Ranma and Akane. He will spar with Ranma, and how that will go, only heaven knows. Afterwards, he will mostly be working as a kind of police officer keeping the peace in the area where the Neremia cast will be in.
General battle quote That was a waste of time.

Character specific
Kenshin Himura - Well, not what I was expecting. Did you're skills dampen, Battosai?
Shishio Makoto - That revolution of yours will die with you here! Ranma - You remind me of a punk I know. Just my luck.
