Talk:Kamiya Kaoru

message: 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?

message: 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)

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)

thread_title: Fair use rationale for Image:Kenshinkaorumarriage.JPG

message: 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)
thread_title:  Does Kaoru teach kendo or kenjutsu? 

message: 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)
