They are both about an extremely skilled swordsman staying at a dojo that is taught by a young female.
Kenshin and Yoichi both:
-Wield a blade that doesn´t kill
-Are extremely powerful
-Are very honest swordsman
-Are both very clumsy which leads to funny situations
There are even some similities with their "rivals", Sanosuke and Wassan.
They both:
-Are fist fighters
-Used to be "criminals"
-Are very proud and confident in their abilities
Yoichi is just kenshin in a modern era with a lighter story, more funny situations and kind of perverted.
