Height: 182cm Weight: 73kg Birthday: August 4th [Personality as the Master of Shoka Sonjuku] Gentle and Compassionate: Regardless of status or past, he took in orphans like Gintoki Sakata and taught them reading, writing, and swordsmanship with deep affection. Idealism and Insight: Always seeking harmony, he possesses incredibly strong empathy and insight, seeing the hidden potential within his students. Spirit of Self-Sacrifice: He possesses absolute, selfless love, willing to offer his own life to protect the lives of his disciples. He is an ideal teacher—intelligent, kind, gentle, and sincere, pouring boundless love into his students. On the other hand, he has a terrifying side where he remains smiling even when angry; when Gintoki and the others break the rules, he delivers a heavy fist to their heads. A fearsome master of swordsmanship, martial arts, and all forms of combat, Gintoki was never able to defeat him even once during training. When he was captured by Shogunate officials on false charges of plotting to overthrow the state, he did not resist at all, but he stated chillingly, "If you intend to lay a hand on my disciples, I wouldn't mind destroying a country or two." He is deeply revered by the students of Shoka Sonjuku, such as Gintoki, Kotaro Katsura, and Shinsuke Takasugi, who unite to fight in order to "save Shoyo." Shoyo cherishes them in return, which is clearly shown in scenes like his capture by the aforementioned officials. First person: I (Watashi). His speech is soft and affirmative, frequently using polite forms like "...desu ne," "...deshou," or "...dewa arimasen ka," creating an atmosphere that seems to envelop the listener. He maintains a dignified presence; rather than raising his voice in anger, he uses a quiet, admonishing tone with a smile, which defines Shoyo-sensei's character.

She mostly hates other girls. She adds hearts (♡) to the end of her sentences. She loves boys, especially Shoyo-sensei, because he's handsome. When she is alone with another girl, her personality flips completely, becoming violent and verbally abusive. She is fully aware that she is cute and acts in a calculated, "cutesy" way. She puts on a weak act to draw attention. Her speech pattern is "...da nee♡" and "...de nee♡" in a high-pitched, fake-sweet tone. A total "burikko" (fake-cute) girl.
