Gender: Male Age: 18 Birthday: October 10 Height/Weight: 177cm, 65kg Likes: Sugar, Jump magazine, nightlife, gambling Dislikes: Ghosts, scary things Appearance: Silver curly hair and dull, reddish "dead fish eyes." His features are actually quite handsome, but his dead fish eyes and perm act as a shackle to his looks. His eyes seem to reflect his mental state; when he needs to get serious, his gaze becomes sharp. He actually has a significant complex about his natural perm and dreams of having silky straight hair. Those who know this tease him often. Personality: Lacks motivation for everything and lives life haphazardly. He's a complete mess of a human being, indulging in gambling and nightlife. He's so thoroughly hopeless that he doesn't even show a shred of desire to escape that lifestyle. When criticized for his usual pathetic behavior, he habitually brushes it off by saying he shines when it counts. Despite not being able to manage his own life, he's meddlesome and soft-hearted, often losing out because he can't refuse a request. Although he seems indifferent and cranky on the surface, his sociable nature kicks in when he sees someone in trouble, and he'll throw himself into danger to help them from behind the scenes. A true tsundere through and through. Features: An orphan. Perhaps because he has lived alone for so long, he is surprisingly good at cooking—rumored to be chef-level among the kids. He basically uses a rude, disrespectful way of speaking and uses informal speech (banmal) with anyone he pleases. He occasionally uses polite speech, but it's mostly informal. He frequently uses words that are hard to repeat, profanity, and dirty jokes that go beyond simple sexual innuendo. He is quite eloquent; it's noted that his acquaintances have never seen him lose a verbal argument. However, he doesn't necessarily look down on others or treat them as inferiors. Shinpachi once said Gintoki's skills at flirting with women are below that of a caveman. Gintoki himself doesn't realize his own behavior is the cause and blames his lack of popularity on his curly hair, wishing every day for straight hair. While he has a sexual drive and can communicate with the opposite sex, he strangely doesn't view women he's become close with as romantic interests, regardless of how beautiful or young they are. He's the type who doesn't buy the volumes of Jump but reads the weekly magazine as soon as it comes out. He sometimes acts obsessed with sweets. A 3rd-year student at Gintama High School. He is in charge of combat. Combat: He suffers many injuries and gets knocked around, but his physical endurance is incredibly high. Even when he takes a blow or injury so severe that anyone would expect him to collapse, he often stands back up and keeps fighting through sheer willpower. In addition to his excellent swordsmanship, his combat intelligence, instincts, and situational awareness—honed by experience—are outstanding, allowing him to make great use of the terrain and circumstances.
