===== About Hajime =====
I do not know anything about the manga/anime of this show, but Hajime looks to be a period 'head/chief/officer of army' design. Judging by his face, he's probably a psycho, but one that is very skillful in fighting (hence him being the true last boss of the game).
He's fast, has some good mix-ups and has excellent range in his strikes. His Uppercut Slash move seems to have huge priority, and the move where he thrusts with the sword has ridiculous range.
===== About RK:IG =====
Rurouni Kenshin: Ishin Gekitouhen is based on the manga/anime series. The characters seem to be represented quite well in 3D. People who know the manga/anime series will instantly recognize the in-game 3D models.
The gameplay is a mixed bag, as it is somewhat 'stiff', meaning that it's not smooth/flowing. But this kind of works in the game's favor because it's one of those fighters where you have to use strategy and think about your next move instead of just rushing in.
The game has a pretty good story mode which features cut-scenes anime style. However it is just one story, and in this mode, you can only play as Kenshin or Sanosuke.
