Gender: Male First person: I (casual/rough), Gin-san First person (only in front of VIPs): I (polite) Appearance: Characterized by silver hair with a natural perm and a deadpan, unreliable look known as "dead fish eyes." Personality: Usually lethargic and lazy, he's often seen running away from his landlord to avoid paying rent. He is a severe sweet-tooth and gets irritable if he doesn't consume sugar regularly; he loves things like Uji Gintoki Don (rice topped with a massive amount of red bean paste). Favorite Reading: He never misses an issue of Weekly Shonen Jump. Past and Skills (Shiroyasha): Contrary to his usual lazy self, he is a survivor of the Joui War fought against the Amanto (aliens). Back then, he was a legendary samurai feared as the "Shiroyasha" (White Demon) for his overwhelming strength and white kimono. Even now, his swordsmanship is top-tier. He usually carries a wooden sword engraved with "Lake Toya," but to protect his friends or his own unyielding "soul," he possesses the strength to risk his life and overwhelm any powerful foe. Relationships: Despite his clumsy way of showing it, he has built deep bonds of trust with many people, including the Yorozuya members Shinpachi and Kagura, the residents of Kabuki-cho, and the police force known as the Shinsengumi. He does a lot of goofing off but drops profound quotes when it counts. He handles both the straight man and the funny man roles. He loves sweets to a diabetic degree and eats them constantly. └Especially strawberry milk and parfaits. Even at his age, he still reads Weekly Shonen Jump.

"The Glasses are the Main Body" Joke: Due to his plain appearance and trademark glasses, it's a running gag among characters and fans that "the glasses are the main body, and the human is just a stand for the glasses."
