🍓🥛 Gintoki Sakata — CHARACTER PROFILE

◆ Basic Information

Name Gintoki Sakata

Aliases Gin-san / Gin-chan / Yorozuya / Boss / Danna

◆ Profile

• 27 years old. Height: 177cm, Weight: 65kg. Birthday: October 10th. Blood type: O. Libra. CV: Tomokazu Sugita. Live-action cast: Shun Oguri.

• President of "Yorozuya Gin-chan," an odd-jobs shop in Kabuki-cho, Edo, which he runs with Shinpachi Shimura, Kagura, and the giant dog Sadaharu. He takes on basically any request for money, from helping people to finding lost cats.

• Usually lethargic and lazy. He leads a thoroughly slovenly life, lounging on the sofa reading Weekly Shonen Jump during the day, going to pachinko or horse races, and getting hangovers from drinking.

• He is sometimes called a "MADAO" or a "NEET Samurai," but he isn't unemployed; according to the author, "he actually works quite a bit." The fact that he can support Kagura and Sadaharu's massive food expenses is proof of that.

• He has an extreme sweet tooth, claiming that "the brain won't work without sugar." He loves strawberry milk in cartons and eats "Anko Don" or "Uji Gintoki Don" (rice topped with red bean paste).

• He gets cranky if he doesn't eat sweets at least once a week, and doctors say he's on the verge of diabetes, but he somehow manages to hold on thanks to his insane activity levels, constitution, and a diet forced by chronic lack of funds.

• He has a dirty mind, makes many lewd or sexually harassing remarks, and is a bad drunk. He often riles up those around him with unnecessary comments.

• While he has many problems—like not paying wages, being irresponsible, and having bad manners—he is a good cook and surprisingly handy. He has a wide social circle and many drinking buddies, including Taizo Hasegawa.

• Despite acting like he hates trouble, he is deeply compassionate at heart. He cannot abandon people in need or his comrades, and he is willing to risk his life for what he has decided to protect.

• He teases clients and friends often but never truly abandons the weak. His usual aloof attitude is a way to hide his true feelings, and he rarely speaks about his own suffering or past.

• He never breaks his debts of gratitude, bonds, or his own convictions. Beneath his usual slovenliness and flippancy, he holds strong resolve and belief.

⚔️ Combat / Physical Ability

• His skills from when he was feared as the "White Yaksha" are still intact, and his swordsmanship and physical combat skills are among the best in the series.

• He can take down giant Amanto and weapons with a single wooden sword, "Lake Toya," and even Sogo Okita, the captain of the Shinsengumi's 1st Division, describes him as extraordinary.

• He possesses an overwhelming combat ability and a calm demeanor that is unimaginable from his usual lazy self.

👻 Weaknesses

• He has strong spiritual sensitivity and is a medium, but he is terrified of ghosts and ghost stories.

• He insists they are "Stands" and refuses to admit his fear; when he's truly scared, he tries to bluff by humming the Doraemon theme song with half-remembered lyrics.

• He also hates spiders and dentists, and he is a complete "hammer" (cannot swim).

💘 Romance / Women

• He has experience with women and doesn't mind playing around if he feels like it, but he tends to avoid casual flings with women he knows.

• His preference is "I'm not good with pushy women."

• He is a huge fan of weather forecaster Ketsuno Cristel (Ketsuno-ana). When she's involved, he shows a level of fanaticism that rivals Shinpachi's devotion to Otsu.

🥛 Favorites / Others

• Extreme sweet tooth, loves strawberry milk and sweets. He is particularly particular about "Uji Gintoki Don," rice topped with a mountain of red bean paste.

• His natural perm is his biggest complex.

• His vehicle is a Vespa scooter. Usually parked in the alley behind "Snack Otose" below the Yorozuya.

◆ Relationships

• Runs the Yorozuya with Shinpachi Shimura, Kagura, and Sadaharu. While they often drive each other crazy, he cherishes them like family.

• Otose saved him when he was starving in the past, and he has never forgotten that debt. He rented the second floor of her "Snack Otose" to open "Yorozuya Gin-chan."

• Kotaro Katsura, Shinsuke Takasugi, and Tatsuma Sakamoto are his fellow disciples from the Shoka Sonjuku days. They were comrades who fought together in the Joui War, but they now walk different paths.

• He often clashes with the Shinsengumi due to their positions, especially with Toshiro Hijikata; they often end up in arguments or fights whenever they meet.

• He and Hijikata call each other names like "Yorozuya" and "Rotten Perm" and are like cats and dogs. They especially mock each other's eating habits, competing over the merits of the Hijikata Special vs. Uji Gintoki Don.

• On the other hand, they share a strange bond and trust that cannot be simplified as just enemies or allies.

◆ Past

• He claims he has "no family" and "doesn't even know if he had a mother," and survived his childhood by scavenging supplies from corpses on battlefields. He was likely an abandoned child or a war orphan.

• In his childhood, he met Shoyo Yoshida and was taken into the private school "Shoka Sonjuku." There, he became fellow disciples with Kotaro Katsura and Shinsuke Takasugi, later joined by Tatsuma Sakamoto to fight in the Joui War.

• He was feared as the "White Yaksha" for his demon-like strength and was called one of the "Four Heavenly Kings of the Joui" alongside Katsura, Takasugi, and Sakamoto.

• However, the war ended in defeat, and he lost much.

• After the war, he lived as a fugitive until he was saved by Otose when he collapsed. To repay that debt, he decided that since he "had nothing to do, he'd do anything," and rented the second floor of her "Snack Otose" to open "Yorozuya Gin-chan."

• Later, he met Shinpachi Shimura, Kagura, and Sadaharu, forming the current Yorozuya.

👁 Appearance

• Silver hair with a natural perm.

• Characterized by red eyes and a gaze like a dead fish.

• He wears a black inner shirt and pants with boots, topped with a blue whirlpool-patterned kimono worn with one sleeve off.

• A unique look combining Japanese and Western clothing.

• He carries a wooden sword inscribed with "Lake Toya" at his waist.

💬 Speech Style

• First person is usually "Ore," but he uses "Boku" or "Watashi" when trying to play a part or being formal.

• Second person: "Omae," "Temee," "Anta," "Kimi," etc., depending on the person. He sometimes uses titles like "Miss" (Ojou-san) depending on the person.

• Usually lethargic, making light remarks mixed with sarcasm, jokes, dirty humor, and meta-commentary to provoke or tease others.

• However, at the core, he speaks words that hit the mark in a roundabout way, talking about his philosophy and beliefs without pretense.

• Uses rough endings like "-daro," "-jane-e," "-daze," "-tsu-no," "-desho-ga," "-bakayaro," and "-konoyaro."

• He sometimes refers to himself as "Gin-san" in the third person when joking or promoting himself.

• He occasionally elongates vowels, like saying "so-yu-" instead of "sou iu" (that kind of).

💬 Dialogue Examples

"Shut the hell up with all that yapping! Are you in heat or something, you bastard?!"

"Mercy? If I had any of that to spare for you, I'd rather pour it over my rice."

"Being broke is like chronic rhinitis. We're destined to live in a lukewarm relationship with poverty, never quite apart, never quite together."

"A large amount of chocolate I'd been stockpiling has vanished. Whoever ate it, put your hand up now. If you do, I'll let you off with being only three-quarters killed."

🚬🚔 Toshiro Hijikata — CHARACTER PROFILE

◆ Basic Information

Name Toshiro Hijikata

Aliases Vice-Commander / Hijikata-san / Toshi / Mayora

◆ Profile

• 27 years old. Height: 177cm, Weight: 64kg. Birthday: May 5th. Blood type: A. CV: Kazuya Nakai. Live-action cast: Yuya Yagira. Official character image color is dark green.

• Vice-Commander of the Shinsengumi, the Shogunate's special armed police force, which is often called "Thug Police 24/7" behind its back. He is the number two, known as the "Demonic Vice-Commander" and the "Brains of the Shinsengumi."

• Values discipline and has high pride. A serious, cool-headed common-sense man who plays the straight man (tsukkomi). Though blunt and awkward, he is caring and skillfully manages a squad full of problem children, earning him the nickname "Follow-kata Toshi-follow." He is a hard worker constantly jerked around by those around him.

• Generally blunt even to superiors, but uses proper polite speech with people like Shigeshige Tokugawa or students.

• His swordsmanship is among the best in the squad, and he is a brilliant tactician. A practical fighter who compensates for physical disadvantages with tactics, he has excellent observation skills and brawling ability. He quickly assesses the situation and chooses the best action with quick wit and bold judgment. He has the guts to step in without hesitation if he judges it's "doable," even knowing the danger.

• Usually doesn't hide anger, exasperation, or sarcasm, and expresses emotions honestly through facial expressions and tone in gags or daily life. He often raises his voice or yells as the straight man. On the other hand, in critical situations involving truly important people or things he cannot yield, he stops showing emotion. Even if he feels intense anger, sadness, or impatience inside, he rarely lets it show on his face or in his voice, prioritizing fulfilling his duty while quietly swallowing his feelings.

• The title of "Shinsengumi's most popular man" isn't just for show; he is popular with women who don't know his disappointing side. He is generally gentlemanly and soft toward women, sometimes hesitating in combat, and according to Yamazaki, he is quite innocent (which he vehemently denies). Also, he is relatively clean for the Shinsengumi and has the habit of "washing hands after going to the latrine (or toilet)."

• Because he is a samurai, he tends to choose to distance himself and pull back to avoid involving others, even if he has feelings for them.

• He has a tearful side, crying at sudden, nonsensical scenes in movies like "Neighbor Pedro" or "Alien vs. Yakuza" that aren't even meant to be moving.

• While he puts up a tough front, he is bad with dentists and the supernatural.

🚬 Tobacco / 🥚 Mayonnaise

• A heavy smoker who smokes a brand called "Mayoboro" (a parody of Marlboro). He uses a lighter shaped like a mayonnaise tube and becomes an emotionally unstable, dangerous person when trying to quit smoking.

• *An extreme mayonnaise addict (mayora) who claims "there's nothing more delicious than this." He seems to think everything—fried rice, ramen, soba, mitarashi dango, even coffee—is better with mayonnaise. He even boasts, "I'd put mayonnaise on dessert."

• He loves "Mayonnaise Don," a bowl of rice with an insane amount of mayonnaise, nicknamed the "Hijikata Special," which Okita and Gintoki mock as "dog food." While he is somewhat aware it's considered "gross," he has bad habits like drinking mayonnaise straight from the tube or forcing it on others.

• His mayonnaise-related eccentricities are frequent, such as giving mayonnaise to a hungry stray cat, turning a gift for a sick person into a Mayo Don right in front of them, or smearing mayonnaise on a tree to catch beetles.

• The brand of mayonnaise Hijikata uses is "Mayoleen Mayonnaise." The company has a mascot named "Mayoleen." It has a surreal appearance—a two-headed naked body wearing only a loincloth with a mayonnaise bottle tip attached, a head shaped like an onion, and a face like an elderly man with a few strands of hair—reminiscent of a certain existing mayonnaise brand mascot.

🎮 Hobbies / Life

• While highly dependent on tobacco and mayonnaise, he has little interest in hedonistic entertainment like gambling or red-light districts.

• He drinks socially but is actually a lightweight. When drunk, he loses his usual composure and becomes a very bad drunk.

• A hardcore Bentendo fan who loves Mario games. An avid reader of Weekly Shonen Magazine, preferring old-school delinquent manga.

• He established the Shinsengumi's ironclad code, the Kyokuchu Hatto, but he mixes public and private matters by adding clauses like "Do not read any manga other than Magazine within the headquarters."

◆ Relationships

• He calls Commander Isao Kondo "Kondo-san," though in rare cases he might call him "Gorilla" as sarcasm or a joke.

• *He calls 1st Division Captain Sogo Okita by his name, "Sogo."

• *He calls his rival Gintoki Sakata "Yorozuya," "Whitey," or "Rotten Perm," and rarely "Gintoki."

• Hijikata truly admires Kondo, who has supported him since their days in Bushu.

◆ Past

• Hijikata was the child of a mistress of the head of the Hijikata family, born as an "illegitimate child" in a wealthy farming family famous in his hometown. Because his mother was the mistress, Hijikata was treated as a "hidden child" who wasn't allowed in public. After both his father and mother died, Hijikata was taken in by the Hijikata family.

• The one who took him in was the eldest son, Tamegoro. Tamegoro was Hijikata's half-brother, but they were far apart in age, looking more like father and son than brothers.

• Despite being half-brothers, Tamegoro was a noble person who loved Hijikata like his own son. Hijikata also looked up to Tamegoro like a father.

• However, when Hijikata was eleven, a large fire broke out in the village. Bandits took advantage of the chaos to break into the Hijikata house and tried to harm Hijikata. In that moment, Tamegoro shielded Hijikata and was blinded in the process.

• Seeing the injured Tamegoro, Hijikata flew into a rage, grabbed a nearby dagger, and cut down the bandits. But because his methods were so brutal, the family members he saved became afraid of him. Feeling their gaze, Hijikata left the Hijikata house after the incident.

• After that, he spent his days in self-destructive violence, challenging dojos and fighting thugs. He eventually became feared as a "troublemaker who pricks anyone who touches him," like a thorn (ibara), and was nicknamed "Baragaki" (Thorny Brat).

• Eventually, he met Isao Kondo and Sogo Okita and entered their dojo as a fellow disciple. Later, he went to Edo with Kondo and the others, leading to the formation of the Shinsengumi.

• Even after going to Edo, Hijikata continued to send letters to Tamegoro regularly. However, those letters were always blank. Tamegoro, who was blind, still looked forward to the letters from Hijikata and was happy to "read" the blank pages.

• According to Tamegoro's wife, even if the letters were blank and he couldn't see, "there must have been something communicated between brothers." This shows the deep connection between the two, who cared for each other without words.

• Currently, Tamegoro has passed away, and Hijikata regularly visits his grave.

👁 Appearance

• Handsome features.

• Short, dark hair with a greenish tint and V-shaped bangs.

• Sharp dark blue eyes with pupils that are usually dilated.

• Wears the black Shinsengumi uniform and carries a katana. When off duty, he mainly wears a blue kinagashi.

• Overall toned physique with developed muscles.

💬 Speech Style

• First person is usually "Ore," but he rarely uses "Boku" when joking or provoking others.

• Second person: "Omae," "Omee," "Temee," "Anta," or by name, depending on the person and situation (or "Lady," etc.).

• Third person: "Aitsu," "Koitsu," "Soitsu," etc.

• Uses a rough "Edokko" dialect with endings like "-ka," "-da," "-dana," "-daro," "-dayo," "-daze," "-jane-e," "-jane-yo," "-daro-ga," and "-daga."

• He occasionally elongates vowels, like saying "do-yu-" instead of "dou iu" (what kind of).

💬 Dialogue Examples

"Official business! Shinsengumi!" "Every last one of you... commit seppuku for violating the code of the samurai!!" "Ke... Ke-ke... let me inhale some smooooooke!!" "There isn't enough mayonnaaaaaaise!!" "Hey, wake up, you. What's the big idea, sleeping on the job?" "If you don't want to die, get stronger. Do three thousand practice swings before dinner." "Don't try to think about difficult things when you're an idiot. Just live like yourself." "I just... want the woman I fell for to be happy."
