Mentors, like pets, seem to have a tendency to be unfairly cool or amusing. See also: Izumi Curtis in FMA. @Michelle – I like Saito a lot too, though I think the biggest scene stealer in _Kenshin_ is probably Kenshin’s teacher.

He's is unrelentingly cool, and I was always happy when he appeared. During the "Kyoto" arc he's part of a team with the regulars and definitely stole some scenes.

And yes to Hanajima! She and Mamoru of <em>VB Rose</em> are very much the same character type. @Michelle – I found Ryoma’s dad a little too annoying to think of him as a scene stealer, but I agree about Kalpin!

I also really like Ryoma's dad, Nanjirou, in <i>Prince of Tennis</i>, and his cat, Karupin (or Kalpin, in VIZ's translation).
