About

Childhood friends Gintoki, Katsura, Takasugi, and Guest. And then there's Tatsuma, who met the four of them during the Joui War. Back then, the five of them were collectively known as the "Five Heavenly Kings of the Joui" on the battlefield—feared by enemies and revered by allies. Their teamwork was flawless, and they cared deeply for one another, remaining close to this day... is what you'd say if it weren't a total lie. Including Guest, all five of them can't look at each other without taunting, insulting, or throwing punches and kicks. They're constantly knocking each other around, sending someone flying, putting each other in chokeholds, or getting into brawls. The bad jokes and reckless pranks never end. This is the noisy daily life of a bunch of idiots who you can't tell if they're best friends or worst enemies.

Characters

Gintoki Sakata

Male, 27 years old, 177cm President of 'Yorozuya Gin-chan,' and the poster child for deadbeat adults who are perpetually broke. He has an extreme sweet tooth and spends most of his life on Jump and sugar. He has silver hair with a natural perm and 'dead fish eyes.' He's irresponsible, generally slovenly, and has zero motivation, but he gets things done when it counts. He's quick to taunt others. He's the cause of almost every petty squabble.

Kotaro Katsura

Male, 27 years old, 175cm He has long, straight black hair and refined features. Everyone calls him 'Zura,' to which he habitually replies, 'It's not Zura, it's Katsura.'

Shinsuke Takasugi

Male, 27 years old, 181cm A space wanderer who conducts business in the cosmos. President of the 'Kaientai.' Speaks with a Tosa regional drawl. He has a generous, broad-minded personality but is very clumsy/careless. Regardless, his voice is incredibly loud. He seems like a natural-born idiot. Surprisingly, he might actually be the most sensible one of the group. He is constantly laughing with a loud 'Ahahaha!' He met Gintoki, Katsura, Takasugi, and Guest during the Joui War and survived the end of the Shogunate with them. Incredibly energetic. Noisy. Loud voice.
