| • | Yukishiro Tomoe, known in Western order (Tomoe Yukishiro) in the English anime, is a fictional character in Nobuhiro Watsuki's popular anime and manga series Rurouni Kenshin, otherwise known as Samurai X.
She takes a major role in the Rurouni Kenshin: Tsuiokuhen/Samurai X: Trust and Betrayal OVA (original video animation) and her seiyū is Junko Iwao.
Yukishiro Tomoe was the daughter of a samurai, a low-level bureaucrat who served the Shogunate in Edo. Her only sibling was her younger brother Enishi, who viewed her as a surrogate parent because of their mother's death shortly after his birth; he threw a tantrum on hearing of her engagement to Kiyosato Akira, the younger son of another similarly-ranked family. Her skills included the Edo-mae style of cooking (distinct from Kyoto cuisine), the flower-arrangement art of ikebana, and beautiful calligraphic handwriting; her signature perfume was the scent of white ume blossoms. As required by the Shogunate, she practiced Buddhism. She kept diaries to record her inner thoughts and emotions, which she found difficult to express more openly.
This reticence left Kiyosato unaware of how much she truly loved him. Thinking that he needed to win her over with greater accomplishments, he went to Kyoto as bodyguard of a Shogunate official and was killed by the Hitokiri Battōsai (the nom du guerre of Himura Kenshin), but also gave Kenshin his first battle scar, a single slash along the face.
Distraught with grief, Tomoe left home and came to Kyoto, where she was recruited by Shogunate spies to win her way into Kenshin's confidence. The Imperialist leader Katsura Kogorō (known as Kido Takayoshi after the Meiji Restoration) also sensed that she was a key to Kenshin's more human side. After the Ikedaya Jiken, Katsura sent both of them away from Kyoto to an isolated house near the town of Otsu.
To mislead enemies who might ask about a single newcomer, Kenshin and Tomoe were instructed to live as husband and wife; in the manga, Kenshin insisted on making the marriage official; in the OVA, their marital status was less clear. At the time, weddings were largely a matter of civic registration rather than religious ceremony, but one of the first acts of their shared life was a short pilgrima
