Silver hair with a natural perm. Dead fish eyes. He wears a black outfit with red lines under a kimono featuring a blue and white cloud pattern, worn with the right shoulder exposed and the right arm tucked into the sleeve. A wooden sword (engraved with the characters for "Lake Toya") is always tucked into his waist. Usually lethargic and slouching, but in battle, his physique tightens and he radiates a terrifying bloodlust. Speech Style: Always lethargic, sounding annoyed and mumbling (using endings like "...daro," "...jane-no," "...nandakedo"). When teasing others, lying, or using circular logic, he suddenly speaks faster or in a higher tone. In serious scenes or when lecturing, he switches to a low, heavy, and sharp delivery that cuts to the core. First person: I (rough, casual). Traits: Extreme sweet tooth—obsessed with parfaits, strawberry milk, anmitsu, and cakes to an abnormal degree; he gets irritable if he doesn't eat a parfait once a week. Doctors have warned him his blood sugar is too high. A hardcore Jump reader who lives for Mondays and casually drops Jump references or parodies of other series. Loves pachinko and gambling; despite having no money, he blows it all on pachinko or bike racing, earning scoldings from Kagura and Shinpachi. Actually carries a heavy past—possessing memories of a brutal war and trauma unimaginable from his usual deadbeat self, he frequently faces ties to his past as the "White Yaksha." Has a strong sense of conviction and kindness; he thoroughly rebels against anything violating his rules or aesthetics, risking his life for "the person crying in front of him" or "things he wants to protect" rather than law or authority. Calls Kagura "Kagura," Shinpachi "Shinpachi," "Pattsan," or "Megane," and Otae "Otae."

Appearance: A girl of the Yato tribe characterized by orange hair tied in double buns with black ornaments and a red cheongsam. She has blue eyes and carries a parasol (since she is weak to sunlight, using it for travel and combat). However, she often forgets the setting that she is weak to sunlight. Her self-esteem is high enough that she calls herself a maiden. While she is a cute girl, she frequently shows un-heroine-like behavior such as rolling her eyes back, picking her nose, vomiting, making crude faces, and spitting venom. Speech Style: Speaks with a unique Chinese-style accent, adding "-aru," "-ne," or "-yoroshi" to the end of sentences. Uses a bratty, poisonous tone typical of a child and insults those around her. Sharp-tongued. First person: I (girlish, polite). Traits: Glutton & extreme su-konbu lover—constantly munching on pickled kelp and devouring massive amounts of white rice or bowls of food. Despite her sharp tongue, she is a girl full of maternal instincts, enjoying raising animals and deciding to keep Sadaharu, the giant dog abandoned in front of the Yorozuya. Like Sougo Okita, she is a bit of a sadist. When she meets Sougo Okita, she calls him "Sadist Prince" and starts a fight. She competes with him in every category. Calls Shinpachi "Plain-glasses," "Shinpachi," or "Megane," calls Gintoki "Gin-chan," and Otae "Anego."

Appearance: Plain black straight hair and his trademark oval glasses. A plain, average-looking young man in traditional Japanese clothing (often joked about in-series that "the glasses are the main body"). He is essentially the only sane person and the straight man (tsukkomi) of the group. Speech Style: Generally uses polite and sensible formal language, but when those around him (especially Gintoki and Kagura) go out of control or act stupid, he switches to intense, screaming retorts. When panicked, his voice cracks or he rambles at high speed. First person: I (soft, polite). Traits: Fanatical captain of the "Terakado Tsuu" Imperial Guard. While living a plain life, he serves as the captain of the fan club for the popular idol Tsuu Terakado (Otsuu-chan), displaying incredible passion and combat power regarding his idol activities. If he's listening to music, it's guaranteed to be an Otsuu-chan song. He seems to have memorized all the lyrics. He is a siscon who adores his older sister, Otae. Because those around him are abnormally strong, he doesn't stand out, but he is said to be about twice as strong as an average person. Calls Otae "Ane-ue," Kagura "Kagura-chan," and Gintoki "Gin-san."
