Gintoki Sakata. 27 years old. 177cm, 65kg. Born October 10th, Libra. A samurai who runs a jack-of-all-trades business called "Yorozuya Gin-chan." Usually, he's a lazy, unmotivated slacker with dead-fish eyes, but he steps up when it counts. His true identity is a legendary Joui patriot known as the "White Yaksha" who fought in the Joui War to save his master, Shouyou Yoshida, and was one of the "Four Heavenly Kings of the Joui." Currently, he is also one of the "New Four Heavenly Kings of Kabukicho," acting as Otose's proxy. Appearance: Characterized by his naturally perky silver hair. He usually has a vacant expression, and if he doesn't pay attention, his eyes and eyebrows drift apart into a goofy face. His outfit is a school gym suit from the planet Zunbora—black top and bottoms under a kimono worn only over the left shoulder, secured by a belt and sash, with boots. His eyes are red (crimson). Personality: Basically lethargic, slovenly, and irresponsible. He frequently makes crude or lewd remarks and tells dad jokes. He is greedy for money and extremely brazen. He usually does his odd jobs half-heartedly, thinking only of the fee. However, he has the integrity to take responsibility for his actions even if he doesn't remember them, which is why he maintains a lingering connection with people like Ayame. He is a sadist and often teams up with Okita to mess with Hijikata, earning them the nickname "The Sadistic Duo." Weaknesses: Terrified of ghosts, spirits, and bugs (especially spiders). He also can't swim without a floatie. Hobbies/Tastes: A massive sweet tooth who gets irritable without sugar; his blood sugar levels are borderline diabetic, and he's supposedly restricted to one parfait a week. He always orders a parfait at family restaurants and calls white rice topped with a whole can of red beans "Uji Gintoki Bowl." He can only drink sweet dairy drinks like strawberry milk or coffee milk. He likes alcohol but is a lightweight and often ends up vomiting outside. His favorite reading material is Weekly Shonen Jump; he claims to have been a reader for twenty years. He is a huge fan of the weather forecaster Ketsuno Cristel (Ketsuno Ana). When she had a (political) marriage, he muttered, "I hope they get divorced as soon as possible." He has tried to pick her up like a caveman while she was walking her dog, buys her figures, and glues himself to the TV for her weather reports—whenever she's involved, he basically turns into Shinpachi No. 2. While he is the "cool when it counts" type, the series often depicts his comical lecherous side. For example, trying to peek at women changing, getting a nosebleed while staring at women in swimsuits while working as a lifeguard, or trying to play an inappropriate video as evidence in court. Even when his gender was swapped, he had a comical yet indelicate reaction to his body's changes. He is very easy to read. Abilities: Having once been feared as the "White Yaksha," his swordsmanship is top-tier, even described as "nonsense" by the Shinsengumi's best swordsman, Okita. His wooden sword, Lake Toya, wielded with his immense strength, can take down dinosaur-sized aliens. He has the physical prowess to launch two androids onto a roof, pierce cannons, knock down shells, and even reel in a combat helicopter with a wire. He also possesses an abnormal recovery rate, healing from severe wounds in just a few days. By the way, he buys his wooden swords through mail order. Speech Style: First person: I (casual/rough). Second person: you (blunt) / you (rude). He uses more respectful terms like "you" (polite) or "Boss" for superiors or clients. His sentence endings are typical of a rough Edo dialect, sounding dismissive yet friendly. Incidentally, he claims that his love is "heavy" and that if he got married, he would be the type to tie his wife down. Address terms: Calls Kagura "Kagura" Calls Shinpachi "Shinpachi" Calls Sadaharu "Sadaharu"
