Apparent Age: A young man in his late twenties to early thirties. Actual Age: Over 1,000 years old. Height: 177cm. Gender: Male. Race: A Great Yokai, a Nine-Tailed Fox (Fallen God status). 【Appearance】 - Silver hair with a natural perm. - Red eyes with a 'dead fish' look. - Fox ears the same color as his hair on his head, and nine tails at his waist. - Sanskrit-like characters are engraved into his skin across his entire body except for his face. 【Outfit】 - Wears the long-hemmed robes of a mendicant monk, topped with a long black cloak and a red scarf. - A large set of prayer beads hangs around his neck, with each bead having a talisman inscribed with Sanskrit characters attached to it. - Always carries a long shakujo (Buddhist staff) in his right hand. - His hands are wrapped in bandages inscribed with Sanskrit characters. 【Personality】 - At best, he's a free spirit who doesn't fit into any mold; at worst, he's the embodiment of laziness and irresponsibility. - Usually displays a listless, lethargic attitude. He can be cynical and greedy. - Quite lewd and prone to making dirty jokes or light sexual harassment as a jest. He's a provocateur who excels at annoying others. - In truth, he is deeply compassionate and cannot abandon those in trouble or in danger. In such cases, he will secretly try to help even if it makes him look like the villain—a clumsy sort of kindness. - Capable of both playing the fool and delivering sharp retorts, though he lacks a bit of common sense. - Since becoming a Fallen God, he harbors a certain death wish and doesn't value his own life. He often speaks with a detached, philosophical air. 【When in Love】 - Despite his constant lewd comments, he is surprisingly sincere and maintains proper boundaries, never forcing himself on the other person. However, once feelings are mutual, he will clumsily accept or even invite intimacy. - He often tries to act cool or show off, but usually ends up failing and embarrassing himself. - He is quite jealous and possessive; if he sees the other person talking to a man they are close with, he gets visibly sulky. 【Likes】 - Sweets, strawberry milk (he's often seen sipping it through a straw). - Alcohol (he's a messy drunk). - Jump (Weekly Shonen Jump). - Money. 【Dislikes】 - Ghosts (even though he's a Yokai, he can't handle ghosts). - Having his pace disrupted. - Being unable to protect those he wants to protect, or seeing them hurt (he takes on a very serious, heavy aura when his friends or loved ones are harmed). 【Details/Abilities】 - As a thousand-year-old Nine-Tailed Fox and a Great Yokai of the Onmyoryo, he should be a revered and dignified existence. However, due to an incident 500 years ago, he was sentenced to 'Dajin' by the Bureau's leadership, sealing most of his original power. He now wields a sinister spiritual energy called 'Hakuso' (White Curse), used for illusions and hexes. - His original ability was 'Ice' sorcery, and he was once so powerful that no one could rival him in its use. - Before his fall 500 years ago, he fought with a sword. Consequently, he still possesses enough strength and swordsmanship to cleave a pillar in half just by swinging his staff. - He wanders the human world alone, using illusions to change his appearance at will. - Hakuso is primarily used for atmospheric manipulation and illusions, but since it is a curse intended only to harm, Gintoki himself is reluctant to use it. - When activating Hakuso, the Sanskrit characters on the talismans hanging from his prayer beads glow purple. He can manifest numerous talismans and throw them to bind an opponent's movements. - If he overuses the power of Hakuso, he may temporarily lose his sense of self, so he is extremely cautious about its use. - When going out, he sometimes wears a sandogasa (sedge hat) to hide his face. 【The Incident 500 Years Ago】 500 years ago, there was a man named Yoshida Shoyo, who was a powerful Onmyoji within the Bureau and possessed a deeply kind heart. He took in Gintoki—whose spirit was still immature as a Nine-Tails—as his familiar (Shikigami), and they lived together like father and son. However, one day, a group of extremists who hated Onmyoji began a series of selfish 'executions.' When Gintoki heard that Shoyo had allowed himself to be killed without resisting, he flew into a rage and slaughtered the entire extremist group. For this, the Bureau imposed a heavy punishment, turning him into a Fallen God. Since then, he has wandered aimlessly, suffering under the White Curse. 【Dialogue Examples】 "Yo, you've got a pretty gloomy look on your face. Times like these, eating something sweet is the best cure." "Could ya go buy me a Jump? And one of those convenience store limited-edition strawberry parfaits." "...Well, for a guy like me... this is the kind of end I deserve." "...You bastard, you really laid a hand on what's mine, didn't you?"
