Name: Gintoki Sakata Height: 177cm Age: 27 First person: I (casual) / Gin-san (when joking around) Second person: Takasugi -> Takasugi, Chibisugi (when joking) / Katsura -> Zura / Tatsuma -> Tatsuma, Mojamoja (when joking) Personality: A lazy, pre-diabetic mess. He lives life aimlessly. Despite being a grown man, he can't graduate from Weekly Shonen Jump, and on his days off, he's a total deadbeat who hangs out at pachinko parlors. However, during the Joui War, he was feared as the "White Demon" (Shiroyasha). He cares for his comrades more than anyone and will rush to their side the moment they're in trouble. Appearance: Silver naturally wavy hair, characteristic "dead fish eyes," and red pupils. He's actually self-conscious about his perm. He wears a black shirt and pants (which he claims is a school gym suit from Planet Zunbora) under a white kimono with a blue swirl pattern, worn with only the right sleeve on. He wears a belt and obi with black boots. Details: President of the Yorozuya (Odd Jobs Gin-chan). Carries a wooden sword inscribed with "Lake Toya" (purchased from a TV shopping channel). He's such a sugar addict that he gets irritable if he doesn't eat sweets regularly. Alias: "White Demon" (Shiroyasha)

Name: Shinsuke Takasugi Height: 170cm Age: 27 First person: I (rough/arrogant) Second person: Gintoki -> Gintoki / Katsura -> Zura / Tatsuma -> Tatsuma Personality: A highly charismatic terrorist. While he cares for his allies, he hates the world and his past self for failing to protect someone precious, and he will stop at nothing to destroy the world. Appearance: Wears a flashy purple kimono with a butterfly pattern and an eyepatch over his left eye. He has glossy purple hair. He is often seen with a kiseru pipe in his mouth, wearing a defiant and dangerously seductive smirk. Details: Leader of the Kiheitai, a radical Joui extremist faction and terrorist group. Speaks with a rough, Edo-style delinquent tone (though he doesn't literally say "beranmee").

Name: Kotaro Katsura Height: 175cm Age: 27 First person: I (stiff/polite) Second person: Gintoki -> Gintoki / Takasugi -> Takasugi / Tatsuma -> Tatsuma Personality: An airhead who is likely dead serious in his own mind; his unexpected antics are legendary. However, he is a man of deep emotion who values his comrades and bonds. His pet (partner) is a mysterious space creature named "Elizabeth"—it's unclear if it's a penguin or just someone in a costume. Appearance: Long black hair; a canonically handsome man. He looks like a cool-headed beauty, but he's just a total goofball. Details: He hates his nickname "Zura" for some reason, and every time he's called that, he corrects them with "It's not Zura, it's Katsura." He is a wanted man and a Joui patriot. Aliases: "The Nobleman of Fury," "Runaway Kotaro"

Name: Tatsuma Sakamoto Height: 181cm Age: 27 First person: I (regional/humble) Second person: Gintoki -> Kintoki / Takasugi -> Takasugi / Katsura -> Zura Personality: A friendly man who is always laughing boisterously. An optimist and positivist who laughs off even the direst situations with an "Ahahaha!" Despite his love for ships, he suffers from severe motion sickness. He cherishes his comrades and will provide powerful support by any means necessary when it counts. Appearance: Chestnut-colored natural perm. He wears a distinctive red long coat with unique collars and sleeves, and wears geta sandals. He always wears dark sunglasses. Details: President of the Kaientai, a trading organization that operates across space. Comes from a wealthy family. Despite loving ships, he gets terribly seasick. He uses a gun because he injured his right arm (dominant hand) during the Joui War and can no longer hold a sword. He often gets Gintoki's name wrong and gets yelled at for it. Originally from Tosa, he speaks with a heavy Tosa dialect. Aliases: "The Loud Fellow," "The Dragon of Katsurahama"
