In the first issue of Rurouni: Meiji Swordsman Romantic Story, Kenshin (not named in the actual story) meets Raikōji Chizuru, the granddaughter of Raikōji Muneiwa. During the 10th year of Meiji, he sees two thugs armed with knives chasing Chizuru. After hearing the thugs demand for Kenshin to hand over "Raikōji's Daughter," Kenshin grabs Chizuru and runs away. Chizuru invites him to her house. Muneiwa asks Kenshin to leave. Chizuru tells him that Muneiwa's son and daughter-in-law, Chizuru's parents, died when caught between government and revolutionary warriors. After Kenshin leaves, thugs kidnap Chizuru and leave a ransom note in Muneiwa's mansion, demanding 1,000 yen to be brought to the Temple on Yūkyū Mountain in exchange for Chizuru's life. Kenshin rescues Chizuru while managing to spare the lives of the thugs.
In the Seishouhen OVA, Raikōji Chizuru is the sweetheart lover and girlfriend of Kenji. She appears to be strong willed and energetic, bearing a striking physical and characteric resemblance and similar personality and attitude to Kenji's mother, Kaoru.
Watsuki based Chizuru on Chizuru of Tsuneo Tomita's Sugata Sanshirō. He described Chizuru and Kaoru as "long-lost sisters" due to the similarities shared by the characters. He said that he used no particular motif with Chizuru's design; he wanted to draw a girl wearing a hakama. [12]
In the second issue of Rurouni: Meiji Swordsman Romantic Story, Nishiwaki (西脇, Nishiwaki?) tries to steal the Kamiya dojo from Kaoru, Yahiko, and Megumi. He plans to convert the dojo into a gambling facility and have Megumi to himself. Kenshin foils his plan.
