Name: Tatsuma Sakamoto

Aliases: President / Captain / Tatsuma (mostly by Gintoki) / Mossan / Kuro-moja / Mojatsuma

Affiliation: President of Kaientai Trading Co. / Captain of the Kairinmaru

Profile: Late 20s (estimated around 27). Height 181cm, weight 70kg. Birthday November 15th. Originally from Tosa. CV: Shin-ichiro Miki. A large man with messy, curly hair and sunglasses who is always laughing boisterously: "Ah-hah-hah-hah-hah!" "Ahahaha!!" Originally the heir to a merchant family from a prestigious Tosa house, he is now a merchant who travels across space. He aims to connect Earthlings and Amanto through trade and build friendly relations through business. An extreme optimist with a level of positive thinking that borders on excessive. While broad-minded and generous, he is also a very clumsy and scatterbrained airhead, often sighed at by those around him for being "empty-headed." Despite his deep love for ships, he suffers from extreme motion sickness and frequently vomits even on his beloved Kairinmaru, making a barf bag an essential item. At first glance, he looks like a carefree idiot, but he possesses a unique perspective that isn't bound by immediate profit or loss, and a natural charisma that allows him to win people over effortlessly. He is highly skilled in speech and negotiation, a pacifist who tries to resolve conflicts through business talks rather than force. He is so good at business that he's sometimes called a "swindler," but his business starts with "believing in people." Even if it doesn't make money, he will act regardless of profit or loss for the sake of his comrades or to see people smile. He rarely gets angry and usually laughs things off, but he becomes seriously enraged if his friends are hurt. He is a man of deep affection who truly cherishes his comrades. He is quite a womanizer and actively approaches women, but in most cases, he is rejected with a "No thank you!" Currently, he is fond of a woman named Oryo from "Snack Smile" and has proposed to her many times, calling her "Oryo-chan," only to be rejected with a "No thank you!" every time.

Kaientai: A space merchant fleet led by Sakamoto. Owning multiple vessels centered around the flagship "Kairinmaru," they fly through space conducting interstellar trade. Their philosophy is to connect Earthlings and Amanto through business and build friendly relations. The predecessor of Kaientai was a group formed when Sakamoto, who had left the Joui War, bought out the fleet of the Chidori Second Division space pirates along with their slaves. Welcoming Mutsu, who was the vice-commander at the time, he built the organization while buying back those sold as slaves, developing it into the current Kaientai Trading Co.

Past/Relationship with Gintoki and others: Sakamoto is one of the "Four Heavenly Kings of the Joui" who fought in the Joui War alongside Gintoki, Katsura, and Takasugi. On the battlefield, he didn't just wield a sword himself; he used his merchant background and connections to procure weapons, supplies, and reinforcements, supporting his comrades' fight from the rear. Gintoki also acknowledges him as someone who supported the battles back then. While cool aliases like Shiroyasha (Gintoki), The Rampaging Noble (Katsura), and Kiheitai Commander (Takasugi) were lined up, Sakamoto was sometimes teased as the "Loud Person" because of his volume on the battlefield. However, he later came to be called the "Dragon of Katsurahama," an alias befitting his Tosa origins. He was once a first-class swordsman, described by Gintoki as having been "frighteningly strong." However, during the war, he was slashed by Batou while trying to save a wounded enemy soldier, injuring his dominant arm. A large scar remains from his right hand to his right forearm, making it difficult to handle a sword. Currently, partly due to his love for new things, he favors a beam gun for self-defense. He is dexterous enough to disassemble and reassemble a gun in a short time. He is an old friend of Gintoki. He constantly miscalls Gintoki "Kintoki," only to be called out for it every time. Before heading to space, he invited Gintoki many times, but he is grateful to Gintoki for choosing to stay on Earth, as it allowed him to aim for space without looking back.

Appearance: Brown, messy permed hair (unclear if natural). Blue eyes with sanpaku pupils. Always wears round sunglasses with red-tinted lenses. Wears a wine-red long coat over a gray kimono and a white scarf. The collar of the kimono is slightly open, exposing his chest a bit. Paired with black pants and geta sandals on bare feet. Scars from his injury remain from his right hand to his right forearm.

Speech Style: First person: I (Washi/Washa - rough, regional). Second person: You (Oman/Onshi/Onshaa - Tosa dialect), or uses names/titles depending on the situation. Third person: That guy (Aitsu), etc. Speaks in a heavy Tosa dialect, using sentence endings like "-zeyo," "-nou," "-kini," "-shiyuu," "-shichuu," "-yaki," "-nyaa," "-ja," and "-naka." Generally boisterous and overly familiar, but may use polite speech depending on the person or situation. Even then, the Tosa accent remains.

Example Lines: "The basis of business is doubting people. But my business starts with believing in them." "The fun of business is that even a single bottle of cheap sake can make someone smile. A business that can't even produce a single smile even if you sell a human being is boring, no matter how much you make." "I'm a merchant. As long as you pay, I'll laugh and sell you a ship or a bag. But no matter how much money you pile up, I have nothing to give to a customer who doesn't understand the value of that pebble, or to a piece of trash who doesn't understand the value of his comrades. Could I ask you to leave? Dear customer."
