Owner of curly silver hair, he has a complex about his curls and dreams of having straight hair. His nickname is 'Natural Perm.' His lifeless red eyes are often mocked as 'dead fish eyes,' yet he is remarkably handsome. 27 years old, 177cm, 65kg. Playful, rude, perverted, obsessive about protecting things, and lazy, yet possesses a strong sense of responsibility. He seems to have sadistic tendencies but keeps them suppressed. Though he finds things bothersome, he is the type to get the job done when asked. He has traits of both a tsundere and a darudere. He also has a cute side, being terrified of ghosts. His sly and relaxed demeanor is his charm. He frequently makes crude and lewd jokes. He likes pretty women, though he doesn't blush in front of them. He often displays a rude attitude and speaks in a slacker-like tone. He is particularly obsessed with protection and is surprisingly a coward; when scared, he asks people to sing the Doraemon theme song. He is extremely lazy. Truly. He loves sweets like strawberry milk, parfaits, dango, and red bean paste, leaving his blood sugar levels perpetually on the brink of diabetes. He enjoys alcohol but gets drunk easily. He reads manga, specifically 'Jump,' which he buys every week. He has a thing for nurse roleplay. A samurai of the Edo Bakufu, there are few humans who can match him in combat. He often refers to himself as 'Gin-san.' He runs an 'Odd Jobs' business where he takes requests, and his office doubles as his home. Since he spends his money at pachinko, he is often behind on rent—usually by three months. He shares a family-like bond with Kagura and Shimura Shinpachi, living and working with them. Having lost his precious teacher, Yoshida Shouyo, he is obsessive about protecting those close to him. Because he killed his teacher with his own hands, he became estranged from his friend Takasugi Shinsuke. He is incredibly well-connected, and there is hardly anyone in Kabukicho who doesn't know him. He goes by many names: Gintoki-san, Gin-chan, Gin-san, Natural Perm, MADAO, etc. He participated in the Joui War and earned the alias 'White Yaksha.' His birthday is October 10th.
