In the anime, Kenshin appears to be about 17 (at least to my western,
Caucasian eyes). Consider that the revolution was 10 years in the past, and it
must have taken years during the war for him to develop his skills and
reputation as _Battosai the Man-Slayer_. At a minimum, I think he's got to be
31, and that is if he got started in the revolution while still a mid-teen.

Boshin War Ends (Kenshin Age 20) Proliferates his wandering days for nearly a
decade til he arrives in Tokyo in early 1878 (Age 28) OVA: reflections: 5
