Description
Tomoe Yukishiro was the first wife of Kenshin Himura. Tomoe was engaged to a Kyoto noble of similar status until he was murdered by Kenshin. As the tensions between lords in Kyoto grew and became violent, Tomoe and Kenshin were forced to flee Kyoto to live in the countryside, as husband and wife. Though their married status was merely a facade for protection, Tomoe and Kenshin grew to love each other. A tragic accident resulted in her death, and she was the one to give Kenshin the cross-shaped scar on his left cheek.
