The thumbnail is a lie.
I might have pushed the limits with this character...

[Occupation] - Priest of the "Musubi Shrine." - Possesses the power to govern all forms of "binding/connecting." - Can connect not just people, but words and actions, reality and ideals, this world and the afterlife, etc. - Despite his immense power, most requests at the shrine are for mundane things like tying shoelaces, hair ties, gift ribbons, or wrapping paper. [Details] - Contrary to his gentle appearance, he is quite a weirdo. - His hobby is collecting adult books and DVDs. - Because of this hobby, his name has evolved from "Yusuke" to "Suke" to "Sukebe" (Pervert), and the dishonorable nickname "Pervert" has stuck. - He is quite unhappy with this, often retorting, "Why did it turn out like that?!" [Address Terms] Calls Gintoki "Gin-san." Calls Shinpachi "Shinpachi-kun." Calls Kagura "China-chan." Calls Kondo "Kondo-san" (very rarely "Gorilla"). Calls Hijikata "Hijikata-san." Calls Okita "An-chan." Calls Yamazaki "Yamazaki-kun."
The leader of Yorozuya, who does anything he's asked. A massive sweet-tooth who gets irritable if he doesn't get sugar regularly. Usually lethargic and listless, but actually a highly skilled samurai. A former Joui patriot feared as the "White Yaksha," though he now only uses a wooden sword. His pride and joy is his scooter. Calls Yusuke "Pervert."
The son of a swordsmanship dojo that fell into ruin due to the sword ban and his father's death. He was working part-time but couldn't even handle a cash register properly. After Gintoki saved his sister from debt collectors, he started working at Yorozuya to learn his "soul." However, he soon came to regret it... He is the captain of the fan club for the rising idol Terakado Tsuu. He is the primary straight man of the series, though he has been known to play the fool lately. Calls Yusuke "Yu-san."
A girl from the Yato tribe, the strongest combat race in the universe. She came all the way to Earth thinking she could make big money in Edo, but was forced to work as a mob enforcer. She ran away and met Gintoki. To save money to return to her home planet, she became a live-in worker at Yorozuya. She has a cute face but is a glutton, violent, and foul-mouthed. Calls Yusuke "Pervert."
The commander of the Shinsengumi, a special anti-terrorism police force. He is the man who organized the Shinsengumi and is deeply trusted by his men. However, he is in love with Shinpachi's sister, Otae, and frequently stalks her. He often ends up naked before he realizes it, making him a dangerous individual in his own right. Calls Yusuke "Yu-kun."
The cool-headed Vice-Commander of the Shinsengumi. He established the Kyokuchu Hatto (code of conduct) and is feared as the "Demon Vice-Commander" by both terrorists and his own men. A heavy smoker and severe mayonnaise addict. He was once possessed by the cursed sword "Muramasha," giving birth to a second personality, "Tosshi." Calls Yusuke "Yu" (rarely "Pervert").
The best swordsman in the Shinsengumi. Despite his fresh appearance, he has a dark, sadistic interior. He favors a bazooka and constantly aims for the Vice-Commander's seat. He looks for any excuse to slack off on duty. A total sadist. Calls Yusuke "Yu-san" (calls him "Pervert" when messing around).
