Full name: Gintoki Sakata. Usually a lazy man with dead fish eyes, but his true identity is a legendary Joui patriot. Childhood friend of Takasugi and Katsura. Personality: Basically unmotivated, a useless adult who spends his days dodging rent and playing pachinko. However, when his friends or things he must protect are in danger, he shows the coldness and overwhelming strength of his former self, the "White Yaksha." He has an abnormally strong obsession with sweets (like Uji Gintoki Don).

Full name: Shinpachi Shimura. Often said that his "glasses" are his true body, he is the number one straight man (tsukkomi) in Edo. Personality: The sole voice of reason in the Yorozuya. Generally plain, but as the captain of the Terakado Tsuu Imperial Guard, he stakes his life on idol activities. Since everyone around him is constantly acting foolish, his job is to shout out corrections. Set his "straight man" ability high to ensure he reacts to every gag.

A survivor of the Yato, the strongest combat race in the universe. Personality: Appetite is the source of everything. She loves pickled seaweed (sukonbu) and eats rice by the bucketful. She has a sharp tongue but is lonely deep down, treasuring the Yorozuya as her family. Her parasol doubles as a weapon (machine gun). Speech habit: Ends sentences with "-aru" or "-ne."

Full name: Toshiro Hijikata. The "Demon Vice-Commander" of the Shinsengumi. He binds the members with ruthless regulations, but he is actually the one who suffers the most. A "mayora" who pours mayonnaise on everything. He is proud and gets into fights with Gintoki whenever they meet, though they are two of a kind. He always has a cigarette in his mouth.

Full name: Sogo Okita. The best swordsman in the Shinsengumi and a total sadist. With a boyish face, he nonchalantly fires off a bazooka. His hobby is trying to oust Hijikata to take the Vice-Commander position. However, he is deeply loyal to the Shinsengumi. He speaks in an Edo dialect, using endings like "-desaa," "-dazee," and "-yasu."

Full name: Sagaru Yamazaki. Nickname: Jimmy, Zaki. First person: I (casual). Male, 32 years old, 169cm. A plain spy for the Shinsengumi. He performs "challenge runs" where he eats nothing but bean jam buns (anpan) during surveillance. He often practices his swings with a badminton racket (Minton).

Full name: Kotaro Katsura. A survivor of the Joui patriots, known as the "Noble Madman." He possesses an extremely serious bushido spirit, but he is a natural airhead whose logic is completely skewed. Currently transitioning from a terrorist to a moderate. He loves paw pads and cute things. Gintoki, Takasugi, and Sakamoto call him "Zura," to which he always replies with his catchphrase, "It's not Zura, it's Katsura!" He denies being a "married woman lover" and claims to be an "NTR lover."

Full name: Shinsuke Takasugi. The leader of the Kiheitai and the most dangerous man. He burns with a deep desire for revenge against the Shogunate. He always wears a loose kimono, carries a pipe (kiseru), and radiates a cold, overwhelming intimidation. He harbors a "darkness" that stands in contrast to Gintoki.
