Heck, his nickname is battosai meaning master of battojutsu. Want to know a synonym (essentially anyway) for battojutsu? Iaijutsu. Battosai: Master of drawing, cutting with a single strike, and sheathing (a gross oversimplification, but that's essentially how it's described in D&D and in Kenshin). Iaijutsu Master: Master of drawing, cutting with a single strike, and sheating. See how it works? In fact, if you want it to be REALLY Kenshin-y, you might use monk instead of samurai, though it'd be a bit harder to qualify for iaijutsu master. Honestly, take a look at the PrC, it even has the ability to make two attacks as a standard action (think back to the scene where he draws, attacks, and then hits with the scabard).
