Kenshin is my favorite character of all, so I put a lot of extra effort...and money...into this costume. I spent $300 to complete it, which is way more than I usually would spend on any costume. I even have a sakabatou for it just like Kenshin's...thus the cost. I think Kenshin will always be my fave character to cosplay, because he was one of my first ever and I love the series to pieces.
