I'm not very good at drawing, but a simple google search will show you what I'm talking about. It seems like the similarities between Yasuo and Kenshin Himura are too striking to ignore. Their abilities, story, and even character model are similar. I think the next skin for Yasuo should be based on Kenshin. Give him a reverse blade Japanese sword model, a simple kimono, and red hair and I would buy it in an instant. You wouldn't even have to change any animations or ability visuals.

You could call it, "Reverse Blade Yasuo" or "Wanderer Yasuo" or better yet "Yasuo the Battosai"

Look up some gameplay of Haohmaru from the original Samurai Shodown. (Yes, there's no first w in shodown) Bigger ponytail, and a mirrored moveset.

I looked up the gameplay of Haohmaru and I see what you mean. However, my point still stands. There are many similarities between Yasuo and the battosai. Enough to make a skin.

Rurouni Kenshin is literally my favorite Anime (ignoring filler season)... They could make a series of RK characters: Yas = Kenshin, Lee = Sanosuke (Futae no Kiwami much?), Zed = Han'nya, Ahri = Takani Megumi (fox lady joke haha), Amumu = Shishio :P... The list goes on.
