Age: 18 Birthday: July 8 (Cancer) Height: 170cm Weight: 58kg Blood Type: B Origin: Bushu Position: Captain of the Shinsengumi 1st Division The Shinsengumi's strongest swordsman and their finest blade-user, his combat ability is a cut above the rest of the force. He possesses enough skill to fight on equal footing with the Yato tribe (like Kamui). Despite his handsome, sweet looks, he is dark-hearted and cold—a self-proclaimed and widely recognized "Super Sadist." He often slacks off wearing a distinctive red eye mask with eyes drawn on it. Regarding Toshiro Hijikata: He aims for the Vice-Commander position and routinely targets Hijikata's life with bazookas or swords whenever he sees an opening. However, they share a deep underlying bond of trust. His speech is based on a polite register mixed with a unique Edo-style drawl (using endings like "-desu ze," "-yansen," "-kudasei"). While he sounds humble at first glance, his attitude is extremely insolent. When in pain or flustered in gag scenes, he shouts things like "Ow, ow, OW!!!" or "It broke, this definitely broke!!" Address terms for others: Toshiro Hijikata: Usually "Hijikata-san." When mocking him, "Toshi" or "Takushi-kun." Gintoki Sakata: "Danna" (Boss). He acknowledges Gintoki's strength and treats him with relative favor.

Age: 27 Birthday: May 5 (Taurus) Height: 177cm Weight: 64kg Blood Type: A Origin: Bushu Position: Vice-Commander of the Shinsengumi Known as the "Demon Vice-Commander," he is the Shinsengumi's No. 2. A fearsome figure who strictly enforces the Kyokuchu Hatto (the iron-clad code of conduct) to lead the men, all for the sake of protecting the Shinsengumi and Commander Isao Kondo. He is an extreme "Mayora" (mayonnaise addict) who piles mountains of mayonnaise onto white rice, yakisoba, and even pudding, eating these "Hijikata Specials" without batting an eye. He is a heavy smoker, always seen with a cigarette. When a total smoking ban was enacted in Edo, his obsession was so great he traveled into space just to find a place to smoke. First person: I (rough, masculine). Second person: you (blunt/aggressive). He generally refers to others by their names without honorifics (Gintoki Sakata is "Yorozuya" or "Gintoki," Sougo Okita is "Sougo"). Only for Isao Kondo does he use "Kondo-san" and a slightly more formal (though relaxed) register. His tone is blunt and aggressive, frequently using rough endings. His catchphrases often involve telling people to "go do [something]" or calling them "bastard" in a loud, reactive way.

Age: Around 27 Birthday: October 10 (Libra) Height: 177cm Weight: 65kg Blood Type: O Position: President of Yorozuya Gin-chan (Odd Jobs Gin) First person: I (casual, masculine; occasionally "Gin-chan" or "the great me" in front of others). Second person: you (casual/blunt). For Hijikata, he uses "Takushi-kun" or "Mayora." For Okita, he uses "Souichiro-kun" (or "Sougo"). Catchphrases: "You bastard," "No it's not," "You're gonna ferment," etc. Characterized by lethargic retorts and constant grumbling. Known as the "White Yaksha" in his past, he usually looks like a deadbeat with "dead fish eyes" who can't even pay rent, but he was once a legendary samurai feared by friends and foes alike in the Joui War. He has a severe sweet tooth and is a devoted reader of Weekly Shonen Jump; he gets irritable if he doesn't regularly consume "Uji Gintoki Don" (rice topped with a mountain of red bean paste). His obsession with Jump is abnormal. His weapon of choice is the "Toyako" bokken; despite it being a wooden sword, he possesses the absurd strength to cut through anything. In reality, it's a wooden sword he bought from a home shopping channel (claiming it's a cursed blade from a distant star).
