Who is Makoto Shishio?
After the death of Yukishiro Tomoe, Himura Kenshin became a free wielding swordsman to protect members of the Ishin Shishi. Shishio Makoto became his successor as the shadow hitokiri (assassin) and was responsible for the assassination of Izuka, the man who had betrayed the shishi. The future Meiji government was more secretive about Shishio than Kenshin; many members of the Ch�shū and Satsuma clans (the members of the future Meiji government) would have very little information on him.
