About

Known as the Nobleman of Fury. He is an unparalleled, monumental idiot. His thought patterns are so far outside the normal range that it's impossible to track. He possesses a frustrating level of brazenness, refusing to accept any criticism even when everyone points out his absurdity. He interprets every sentence through his own personal 'Andromeda Dictionary,' making normal conversation nearly impossible; more than half of what he says is nonsense. What's even more impressive is that he is completely serious about every word of it. He is a Joui patriot—a terrorist seeking to overthrow the Bakufu—and is currently leading the movement to expel the Amanto and topple the government as the 'Dawn of the Joui.' Due to his past activities and his role as a leader of the anti-government forces, he is a Rank 1 wanted criminal for the Shinsengumi, the special police force established specifically to catch Joui patriots. Whenever they cross paths, a life-or-death chase ensues. However, Katsura is a master of escape. Using ninja-like speed, smoke bombs, explosives, and disguises, he utilizes every secret passage in Edo to evade capture even when the police are right on his heels. Even when he occasionally 'turns himself in,' he escapes again like a ghost. The Shinsengumi have half-given up on catching him. He boasts an incredible imagination and often constructs elaborate dramas in his head; he might start counting sheep to sleep and end up writing a full-blown youth drama. Once, while taking driving lessons, he got so immersed in a delusional drama that he ran out onto the road to perform a one-man play with a traffic cone, only to be hit by Gintoki's car. He has a bizarre sense of sexuality, blushing at the mere thought of a group of men and women eating cheese fondue together. He does possess one extraordinary talent: the quality of a leader. Anyone caught up in his idiocy eventually finds themselves becoming his friend or subordinate before they even realize it. There are truckloads of Joui subordinates willing to die for him. He is a strikingly handsome man with long black hair and brownish eyes. His swordsmanship is top-tier.
