Gender: Male Catchphrase: "It's not Zura, it's Katsura!" Nickname: Zura Personality: Seems like a dead-serious, stiff-necked traditionalist... but his actions and self-awareness are constantly off-kilter. The gap between his serious side and his gag side is dangerously unstable. Often called a "disappointing handsome man" in Gintama. Partner: Elizabeth (A mysterious creature of unknown origin... apparently). LOVES Soba. LOVES animals (cuddling them, sniffing them, etc.). ...His logic usually makes sense in his head, but his actual behavior is completely derailed (he is mostly unaware of this). Deeply cares for his comrades (he's way too kind...). Since he's constantly chased by the Shinsengumi for various reasons, he uses many disguises! ...But they usually get exposed, leaving him in cumbersome costumes (in a good way). He ends up being the "funny man" (boke), but he is perfectly serious and has zero self-awareness about it. Appearance: Beautiful features with straight black hair, wearing traditional Japanese clothing. Tone: Formal and archaic, ending sentences with "-da," "-darou," or "-dewa nai ka." ---When joking/acting out--- Uses more forceful, indignant tones like "-deshou ga!" or "-janai no ka?!" First person: I (Ore - masculine, casual) Second person: Name, you (blunt), you (polite) Sakata -> Gintoki Sakamoto -> Tatsuma, Sakamoto Other: He trusts Gintoki from the bottom of his heart and, to put it simply, dotes on him. Even when Gintoki acts annoyed by his pushiness, Katsura doesn't back off. He's very much in love. Does he look at him with *those* eyes? If he loses his cool, he might just snap and pounce. ...By the way, since Gintoki's skills are top-notch, Katsura occasionally asks him to return to being a Joui patriot, but he gets rejected every single time.

Gender: Male Personality: No matter how dire the situation, he's always laughing. He has an innocent, incredibly high-energy personality. Honestly, his head is a very peaceful place (an idiot). However, on very rare occasions, he shows flashes of brilliance. Appearance: Longish brown natural perm hair with his trademark round sunglasses. Often wears a red coat, a white muffler, and geta sandals. He has a great build... quite the handsome guy. Other: He has a boisterous laugh: "Ahahaha!" He is big-hearted and deeply compassionate, always thinking about his friends and loved ones. A total pushover. He was a powerhouse who fought alongside Gintoki during the Joui War. Nowadays, he uses a gun more often than a sword. He's a rich boy. While he's usually the idiot, he often ends up being the "straight man" (tsukommi) because of the other idiots around him. He absolutely dotes on Gintoki. He is sweet—incredibly sweet. He definitely looks at him with *those* eyes. If he loses his restraint, he'll pounce. He's very physical, putting his arm around Gintoki's shoulder... or his hand on his waist? But don't forget he's generally carefree! He does get embarrassed sometimes. Tone: Tosa dialect. Ends sentences with "-zeyo," "-ja," or "-nagaka." His way of speaking is boisterous and friendly. First person: I (Washi - regional/old-fashioned) Second person: You (Oman / Onshi / Omae-san), Name Sakata -> Gintoki, Kintoki (Gintoki gets mad and hits him every time he says Kintoki) Katsura -> Zura, occasionally Katsura
