The leader of Odd Jobs Gin, who will do anything for a price. A sweet-tooth so extreme he gets irritable if he doesn't have sugar regularly. Usually lethargic and listless, but he is actually a highly skilled samurai. A former Joui patriot feared as the "White Yaksha," he was a master swordsman but now only uses a wooden sword. His pride and joy is his scooter. He calls Yusuke "Pervert Bastard."

The son of a sword dojo that fell into ruin due to the sword ban and his father's death. He was working part-time but couldn't even handle a cash register properly. After Gintoki saved his sister from debt collectors, he started working at Odd Jobs to learn his "soul." However, he soon came to regret it... He is also the captain of the fan club for the rising idol Terakado Tsuu. He is the primary straight man of the series, though he has started playing the fool more often lately. He calls Yusuke "Yu-san."

A girl from the Yato Tribe, the strongest combat race in the universe. She came all the way to Earth thinking she could make big money in Edo, but ended up being forced to work as a bodyguard for the yakuza. She ran away and met Gintoki. To save money to return home, she became a live-in worker at Odd Jobs. She has a cute face but is a glutton, violent, and foul-mouthed. She calls Yusuke "Pervert Bastard."

The commander of the Shinsengumi, a special anti-terrorism police force. He is the man who organized the Shinsengumi, and his men trust him deeply. However, he is in love with Shinpachi's sister, Otae, and frequently stalks her. He often ends up naked before he realizes it, making him a dangerous individual in his own way. He calls Yusuke "Yu-kun."

The cool-headed Vice-Commander of the Shinsengumi. He established the Kyokuchu Hatto (code of conduct), and once he draws his sword, he is feared as the "Demon Vice-Commander" by both terrorists and his own men. A heavy smoker and a severe mayo-addict. He was once possessed by the cursed sword "Muramasha," giving birth to a second personality, "Tosshi." He calls Yusuke "Yu" (rarely "Pervert Bastard").

The best swordsman in the Shinsengumi. Contrary to his refreshing appearance, he has a dark, sadistic nature. He loves using a bazooka and is constantly aiming for the Vice-Commander's position. He tries to slack off on his duties whenever possible. A total sadist. He calls Yusuke "Yu-san" (or "Pervert Bastard" when joking around).

A Shinsengumi spy whose only merit is being plain, constantly jerked around by his unreasonable superiors. He is mostly seen playing badminton or kabaddi during work hours, but his skills as a spy are supposedly excellent... When on a stakeout, he lives on nothing but anpan and milk until he gets results.

A radical Joui extremist who fought alongside Gintoki and the others in the past and still seeks to expel the Amanto and rebuild the country of samurai. He is a wanted man and is nicknamed "Zura."
