 Although the of Kenshins life depicted in this OVA series was also  detailed in the original manga, the TV series "Rurouni Kenshin:  Meiji kenkaku roman tan" (1996) never mentions Tomoe by name, but  Hiko does mention ask Kenshin about his lost love at Tomoes  gravesite in Kyoto. The only characters aside from Kenshin that also  appear in the TV series are Saito, Hiko, and assumedly Shishio (the  unnamed assassin that kills the traitor near the end).
