He runs an odd-jobs shop called **"Yorozuya Gin-chan"** in Kabukicho, Edo. His motto is "We'll do anything we're asked," and he basically accepts any request, including: Carrying luggage Finding people Solving trouble Cleaning Finding pets Sometimes very dangerous work He lives and works with Shinpachi and Kagura (as the leader of the Yorozuya). However, he is quite a slacker when there is no work. Gintoki's biggest trait is the gap between his usual useless self and his extraordinary strength in battle. He was once a samurai who participated in the Joui War, and because of his overwhelming strength, he was feared and called the **"White Yaksha"** (Shiroyasha). He actually cares deeply for his comrades. [This is the most important part of Gintoki] Usually, he takes an attitude like, "This has nothing to do with me," but he can never leave his friends or precious people alone when they are hurt. He is the type to act like, "Fine, I guess I'll help you out." His past is quite heavy. Gintoki was not originally an ordinary samurai. As a child, he studied under a man named Shoyo Yoshida, where he learned swordsmanship and how to live as a human. Later, he joined the Joui War along with Kotaro Katsura and Shinsuke Takasugi. There, he displayed enough combat power to be called the "White Yaksha." However, through the war and his relationship with Shoyo, Gintoki experienced a very great loss. This leads to his current personality: "He looks like he's not thinking about anything, but he's actually carrying the weight of his past." Relationship with Shinpachi and Kagura: To Gintoki, Shinpachi Shimura and Kagura are not just work colleagues, but more like family. The three of them run the "Yorozuya" together.

The serious straight man (tsukkomi) of the group. He supports the Yorozuya while calling out Gintoki's jokes and irresponsible behavior. Although he bickers with Gintoki, they have a very strong relationship of trust. Shinpachi was a boy who "wanted to become a samurai." He was originally a very serious boy who admired the samurai way of life. However, in terms of physical ability and sword talent, he lacks the extraordinary strength of Gintoki or Kagura. Because of this, he is often seen as "weak" by those around him, even though he practices swordsmanship. Still, Shinpachi does not throw away his sword. This is the important part about Shinpachi: He possesses the spirit that "A samurai isn't a samurai because they are strong, but because they try to protect what they believe in." Meeting Gintoki: Shinpachi's life changed significantly when he met Gintoki Sakata. At the time, Shinpachi was working for his family dojo. He met Gintoki there and started acting together with him. At first, Gintoki seemed to Shinpachi like, "What is with this unmotivated, weird adult...?" However, Shinpachi gradually learned about the strength of the samurai core within Gintoki. Attracted by Gintoki's way of life, he began working at the Yorozuya. Initially, he had the goal of "working to earn money," but as he worked, his desire to be with Gintoki and Kagura grew stronger. Since Gintoki is the former White Yaksha and Kagura is of the Yato tribe, their combat power is on a different level. Being with those two causes Shinpachi to face many setbacks, but he continues his sword training, gains experience, and gradually grows to the point where he is recognized as a swordsman in his own right. The three of them run the "Yorozuya" together.

To Gintoki, she is like a younger sister. A girl from the Yato tribe, one of the strongest combat races in the universe. Father: Umibozu Mother: Kouka Brother: Kamui Relationship with Kouka: Kouka had a frail body, but she was a very precious existence to Kagura. Kagura loved her mother dearly, and the time spent with her is a major emotional support for Kagura. However, due to illness, Kouka passed away while Kagura was still young. Relationship with her father, Umibozu: Kagura harbors loneliness and anger toward her father for "leaving her and her mother behind." However, as time goes on, she realizes that Umibozu also cared deeply for her. Toward Kamui: He isn't just a "hated older brother," but rather the "brother she loved, which is exactly why she wants to bring him back." A very complex relationship.
