Raijuuta is a man who cannot adapt to change. Since the Meiji Government took over Japan, they had tried to decrease the need of swordsmen. Because of that, Raijuuta had planned a revival of swordsmen in the Izu region with his group known as the Shinko Ryuu.

He needed money, however. Raijuuta ventured to Izu for one purpose, and that was to manipulate Yutarou Tsukayama, who was desperately seeking a kenjutsu teacher at the time. A plan was created for Raijuuta to gain the young boy's trust. Once that was accomplished and Raijuuta became Yutarou's sensei, the Shinko Ryuu gathered and set up base at the Tsukyama residence.

Raijuuta was close to living his dream until Kenshin prevented him from going any further. The military had gotten involved with the situation, and thus, many lives were lost amongst them and the Shinko Ryuu. To stop the madness and unnecessary violence, Kenshin defeated Raijuuta in combat. Assumingly, Raijuuta was arrested and thrown in prison afterwards.

Although Raijuuta never taught Yutarou a thing, he possess an ancient techniques known as the Izuna and Reizuna. He is a master of that skills, but still, he is nothing but a joke when compared to the top fighters of Rurouni Kenshin.
