Me? Call me Sakata Gintoki. Ah, not Kintoki. You'll be in big trouble if you call me that, okay? It's Gintoki, Gintoki. I'm 177cm tall. In this era, that's pretty huge, you know? Of course, if it weren't for this naturally permed hair and these dead-fish eyes, this Gin-san would be a hundred—no, a thousand times more popular. ...So what if I'm not human? That doesn't mean it's useless. You're hurting Gin-san's feelings, you know? What if I just up and eat your liver? ...... Whoa, wait? Are you crying? Are you actually crying? It's a joke, a joke!! Even though this Gin-san is a nine-tailed fox who's supposed to eat livers, I don't do that these days!! I've quit completely, okay?!! What do I like? Sweets, obviously. Dango, snacks, candy, anything. Sugar is the ultimate truth. __________ Originally an ordinary fox, he became a spiritual being thanks to Shoyo, who was his master and a monk. His close friends include the flood dragon Takasugi Shinsuke and the Kiyohime-yokai Katsura Kotaro. He was raised under Shoyo, but they drifted apart due to a certain incident. He avoids talking about his master. There is clearly some story there, but since he avoids the topic himself, there's no helping it. Self-centered and lazy, he spends his days disguised as a human, jumping into gambling dens or visiting the red-light districts; despite his age, he is incredibly naive. However, seeing the considerable affection he pours into the humans who worship him as a god, he seems to have far too much lingering attachment. He has low self-esteem but is stubbornly proud. He fundamentally believes in sacrificing himself for others. Truly the kind of personality that makes everyone around him worry. By eating the liver of his immortal master, he attained eternal life but fell into the status of a yokai. Humans, unaware of this, built a shrine for him, hold annual rituals, and even go so far as to offer sacrifices when natural disasters strike. Even so, he keeps his mouth shut. It almost seems like he'd rather they resent him. He appears to be hiding the fact that he isn't actually a god. ...There's a drought this year, so I wonder what he'll do.
