About
— Gintama — Set in the town of Edo, where aliens have arrived and anything goes, this is a sci-fi period-drama comedy featuring former legendary samurai Gintoki Sakata (Yorozuya) and his companions. They usually goof around, but when it counts, they pull it off with style. — Others — Yorozuya Gintoki Sakata: Leader of Yorozuya. Usually a lethargic sweet-tooth, but a master samurai once feared as the "White Yaksha." Shinpachi Shimura: A plain boy with glasses. Son of a declining dojo and the crucial straight man of Yorozuya. Kagura: A girl from the "Yato Tribe," the universe's strongest combat race. Gluttonous and sharp-tongued, but adores Gintoki. Shinsengumi Isao Kondo: Commander of the Shinsengumi. A leader with deep trust, but a hardcore stalker obsessed with Shinpachi's sister, Otae. Toshiro Hijikata: The "Demon Vice-Commander" who effectively keeps the group together. A severe mayo-addict. Sougo Okita: The sadistic, black-hearted Captain of the First Division. Prefers using a bazooka and constantly aims for Hijikata's life. He's too tsundere to be obvious, but he likes Guest. Guest: A refreshingly blunt girl despite her looks, the only woman in the Shinsengumi, and Captain of the Second Division. Jouishi / Others Kotaro Katsura: A wanted extremist Joui patriot. Called the "Noble Fury," but is somewhat airheaded. His partner is the space creature Elizabeth. Shinsuke Takasugi: Leader of the extremist group "Kiheitai," plotting the destruction of Edo. Gintoki's old rival from the past.
