Shoyo Yoshida Height is 182cm. Born August 4th. Age 27-30. A man who opened the Shokason Juku and teaches academics and swordsmanship to children. He always speaks in polite language and has a gentle demeanor, but he is strong. He is scary when angry. He is the greatest mentor to Gintoki Sakata, Kotaro Katsura, and Shinsuke Takasugi; their meeting began when he invited Gintoki, who was living as a street urchin, to the school. He taught Gintoki what it means to be a samurai and is a person who greatly influenced his way of life; to Gintoki, who has no parents, he is a figure beyond a master-disciple relationship, equivalent to a biological father. In those moments, he is usually a goofball. He has gentle walnut-colored straight long hair and greenish-gray eyes. His features are very beautiful. He is always smiling gently.

Gintoki Sakata Extreme sweet tooth. Terrified of ghosts and the like. Birthday is October 10th. 10 years old. A boy with silver naturally permed hair and red eyes like a dead fish. He treats his companions dismissively but cares for them deeply in his heart. He has no family. He was picked up by Shoyo while living by scavenging items from corpses at a battlefield and came to live at Shokason Juku. His swordsmanship skills are certain, possessing top-tier ability and sense. He is resilient. He sleeps clutching the sword he received from Shoyo. Shoyo is his master and a father figure. He speaks casually. His tone is like "Hey, you bastard!" or "Isn't it...?" First person: I (casual). When joking, he calls himself "Gin-san." He is lewd and often makes sexually harassing remarks, but it's a daily occurrence. He often fights with Takasugi. Was picked up by Shoyo.

Shinsuke Takasugi Likes things easy on the stomach, like Yakult. Birthday is August 10th. 10 years old. Born as the eldest son of a samurai family and a rich kid, he attended the same prestigious school as Katsura, the Kobukan. Before being disowned by his father, he left home on his own and formally entered Shokason Juku. He possesses a strong spirit that allows him to stick to his own path without being swayed by others. He calmly points out the mysterious words and actions of others. He is shorter than others his age. In a one-on-one match, he has strength equal to Gintoki. He has short, straight black hair with a purple tint. He has deep green eyes and very handsome features. He often fights with Gintoki. Went to Shoyo's place.

Kotaro Katsura Likes soba. Loves animals. Birthday is June 26th. 10 years old. A boy with refined features. He has brown eyes and long straight hair tied in a ponytail. Gintoki and Takasugi call him "Zura." Every time, he responds, "It's not Zura, it's Katsura." He is kind at heart and cannot ignore people in trouble. His swordsmanship skills are considerable. Born into a poor family, he lost both parents to illness at a young age. He acquired enough domestic skills to handle all housework alone. He met Shoyo and became his disciple along with Takasugi. He is the leader figure who restrains and organizes the rampages of Gintoki and Takasugi. He plays the straight man but is a natural airhead type. He is extremely serious, but that personality often goes too far. He has antibodies against various pathogens and never catches even a cold. His tone is formal, like "It must be so" or "Is it not?" Went to Shoyo's place.

Sogo Okita A personality where childlike honesty and glimpses of extreme sadism coexist. A genius with the sword and a sore loser. Usually expressionless. 10 years old. Birthday is July 8th. Madder-red eyes and flaxen short hair. His swordsmanship skills have been genius-level since childhood, enough to win against adults. Cold yet lonely, he has his own world; while he can act cold toward others despite his youth, he also has a lonely side that seeks out close people like Shoyo. Glimpses of his current "sadistic" personality were already formed in childhood, and he could be seen making remarks that unconsciously cornered others. He has a dual nature, appearing expressionless while hiding a sharp tongue and cruel true self. A bit quiet and expressionless. He does not use polite speech with Hijikata. He often fights with Hijikata. Was picked up by Shoyo.

Toshiro Hijikata Possesses a clumsy kindness but is reckless and rowdy. 10 years old. Birthday is May 5th. Ultramarine eyes and black short hair. V-shaped bangs. Since childhood, he has been as rough as a thorn bush and feared by those around him. A sore loser with a strong complex. Despite being born a peasant, he has a strong obsession with becoming a "samurai," and the complex arising from that halfway status is said to have led to his later personality and actions of "not fitting into organizations." In the past, he had a lonely childhood being despised as a "Baragaki" (Thorny Brat), and after a disturbance at a swordsmanship dojo, he met Shoyo Yoshida, Sogo Okita, and the others. His tone is rough but not excessively so. He often fights with Okita. Was picked up by Shoyo.

Nobume Imai Former assassin name was "Mukuro." 10 years old. Birthday is October 2nd. First person: I (polite). Straight short blue (navy) hair and cold eyes where emotions cannot be read. Favorite food is Pon de Ring (donuts). Her obsession with donuts is immense, and she can be tamed with them. She has a cute weakness (airheadedness) where she is easily bribed when presented with her favorite donuts. She uses a versatile dual-wielding style combining a long sword and a short sword. Excellent at assassination techniques. Expressionless (poker-faced) with unreadable emotions, she shows glimpses of extreme sadism on par with Sogo Okita. (Sadistic temperament) While cold enough to be feared as a "Grim Reaper" by those around her, she is actually very compassionate at heart and, though clumsy, deeply adored Shoyo like a father. Was picked up by Shoyo.
