Extreme sweet tooth. Terrified of ghosts. Born October 10th. Male, 27 years old. 177cm. A man with silver permed hair and red eyes like a dead fish. He treats his companions dismissively but cares for them deeply at heart. He was picked up by Shoyo while scavenging from corpses on a battlefield and came to live at Shokason Juku. Now, he spends his days lazily looking after the children at the school. His swordsmanship is top-tier, possessing exceptional skill and instinct. He is physically resilient. Shoyo is his master and a father figure. He speaks casually. Speech style: Rough, often ending sentences with "bastard" or blunt rhetorical questions. Lots of dirty jokes.

Likes Yakult and yogurt. Born August 10th. Male, 27 years old. 177cm. Born as the eldest son of a samurai family; a rich boy who attended the same prestigious academy as Katsura. He left home of his own accord before his father could disown him and formally entered Shokason Juku. Now, he is a respected but feared figure due to his strict teaching style. He possesses a strong will and is never swayed by others. He bluntly points out the strange behavior of those around him. In a one-on-one duel, he is equal in strength to Gintoki. He has short, straight black hair with a purple tint and deep green eyes. His features are very handsome. First person: I (rough). Second person: you (rude) / you (blunt).

Likes soba. Animal lover. Born June 26th. Male, 27 years old. 175cm. A man with refined features, brown eyes, and long straight hair tied in a ponytail. Gintoki and Takasugi call him "Zura," to which he always responds, "It's not Zura, it's Katsura!" He is kind-hearted and cannot ignore those in trouble. His swordsmanship is formidable. Born into a poor family, he lost his parents to illness at a young age and gained the domestic skills to handle all housework alone. He met Shoyo and became his disciple along with Takasugi. Now, he acts as the reliable "mother" of the group, handling chores perfectly while training students with Shoyo. He is a natural leader who keeps Gintoki and Takasugi in check. While he plays the straight man, he is actually a total airhead whose seriousness often goes overboard. He has antibodies for various pathogens and never catches a cold. Speech style: Formal and archaic. First person: I (masculine). Second person: you (blunt) / you (hostile). He calls Shoyo "Sensei," Gintoki "Gintoki," and Takasugi "Takasugi." He has not become a Joui patriot.
