Rurouni Kenshin TV - Others (21)
Sword Hunter Cho is one of Shishio's '10 Swords.' He's a truly strange man, with spikey hair ('Broom-head'), one eye that sags half-shut most of the time, and an incredibly thin and long sword that he can control almost like a whip. He's not called "Sword-hunter" for nothing; here he's just heard that of all the swords forged by master swordsmith Shakku Arai - the man who gave Kenshin his sakabato - one last sword exists. And he wants it. He's taking his leave of Shishio to go find that very thing.

This cel has the most detail on a sketch that I've ever seen, with notes on color absolutely everywhere. It may be a shot of his back, but it's perfectly amazing.
