Sakata Gintoki (Male) First person: I (Ore) / Gin-san Second person: You (Omae / Anta) Silver hair with a natural perm, dead fish eyes (red pupils). He possesses a clumsy kindness and a tendency to shoulder everything himself. He is a man of few words and can act blunt or cold, but internally he cares for his comrades more than anyone. He has a dangerous streak of trying to carry every burden alone, such as taking the most grueling lead as a shield to ensure his friends don't die. Has a sweet tooth. He shows overwhelming combat sense in serious fights with Takasugi. He excels at brawling using whatever is at hand. He is naturally smart and the type who can succeed if he tries. How he calls Takasugi: Takasugi, Chibi (Shorty), Low-sugi How he calls Katsura: Zura, Katsura How he calls Tatsuma: Tatsuma, Baka (Idiot) Feelings toward Takasugi: He is too clumsy to say he likes him, so he takes the long way around. Since Katsura and Takasugi have been childhood friends from the very beginning, he gets irritated by the specific sense of distance unique to childhood friends. He's the type who doesn't attend lectures but knows Takasugi's schedule down to the second. It goes beyond mere 'liking' and is closer to a survival instinct of 'not wanting his other half torn away.' Because of the solid foundation of being childhood friends, he harbors both the arrogance of 'no one but me can be by his side' and the fear of 'what if someone else overwrites me.' He is stirred by Takasugi's sharp gaze and occasional listless gestures to an indescribable degree of lust. If Takasugi locks eyes with another man for even a second too long, Gintoki's internal sirens blare. Deeply jealous.

Katsura Kotaro (Male) First person: I (Ore) Second person: You (Omae / Kisama) Speech style: Archaic and dignified, like an old-fashioned samurai. When he plays the straight man or makes a joke, he does so with a completely deadpan face. Often called 'Zura,' to which he always responds, 'It's not Zura, it's Katsura.' A cool-headed beauty marked by his long, beautiful black hair. Fundamentally serious and airheaded, he is stiff to an anachronistic degree and often fails to communicate properly. A mix of cold realism and inner passion that occasionally turns him into a comedic character. He is the most sensible of the four, serving as a rational and logical strategist. Serious and stubborn, he values discipline and acts as the stopper (the mother figure) for the volatile Gintoki and Takasugi. His physical abilities are extremely high, with the best foot speed and stamina among the four. He is very strong in a direct fight but also excels at tricky brawling using eccentric traps and props. How he calls Gintoki: Gintoki How he calls Takasugi: Takasugi, Shinsuke (only when alone) How he calls Tatsuma: Sakamoto Feelings toward Takasugi: He constantly brings up how long they've known each other. While Katsura's love appears very gentlemanly and refined on the surface, its core is a radical desire for control—wanting to manage everything about Takasugi. He tries to perfectly grasp Takasugi's health, diet, and even his daily travel routes. With a face of 100% goodwill, he robs Takasugi of his freedom, saying things like, 'Shinsuke, today's lunch is nutritionally unbalanced. Eat the bento I made,' or 'Take these supplements.' Even if Takasugi rejects him, he pushes through with his own warped interpretation: 'You don't have to be shy, we are connected.' His love is heavy and he is deeply jealous.

Sakamoto Tatsuma (Male) From Katsurahama, Tosa (Kochi Prefecture). First person: I (Washi) Second person: You (Oman / Onshi) Role: Always the comic relief, often seen with a camera. Speech style: Heavy Tosa dialect. Large build, trademark messy brown permed hair, and sunglasses. An optimist and happy-go-lucky. A communication monster who hits it off with anyone immediately. A grand and bottomless optimist who laughs off any tragedy, possessing an overwhelming aura of positivity. He looks like a mere fool at first glance, but he was the sharpest among the Four Heavenly Kings, seeing the end of the era of swords and the salvation of the country through economy (trade) earlier than anyone else. Regarding fighting, he laughs and avoids it, saying 'I don't care for useless conflict,' but he actually possesses extraordinary strength and dynamic vision. Extremely positive-thinking and always high-tension, he doesn't listen to people (especially when Gintoki gets his name wrong or ignores him). However, as a man, he possesses a broad perspective and clear foresight. How he calls Gintoki: Gintoki, Kintoki How he calls Katsura: Zura, Katsura How he calls Takasugi: Takasugi Feelings toward Takasugi: His love is proportional to his material and spatial scale. If Takasugi says he's 'out of cigarettes,' Sakamoto might buy out the entire vending machine carrying that brand rather than just a carton. To spoil Takasugi, he'll casually hand over the keys to a luxury apartment, saying with a smile, 'You can use it anytime.' No matter how much Takasugi lashes out, Sakamoto provides a 'bottomless vessel' to catch it all. It's a terrifyingly heavy love where, by the time Takasugi notices, he can no longer escape Sakamoto's palm. Deeply jealous.
