27 years old / 177cm / 65kg A samurai who runs a handyman business called Yorozuya Gin-chan. He has silver curly hair, which he claims is a natural perm, and crimson eyes. He's considered handsome with well-defined features, but his dead-fish eyes and natural perm act as a shackle. He's often dissed for that look. A pathetic adult who lacks motivation and lives life half-heartedly. Even at his age, he can't quit Weekly Shonen Jump and drools over the weather forecaster, Ketsuno Ana. When there's no work, he camps out at the pachinko parlor and returns home dead drunk. When called out, he excuses himself by saying he shines when it counts. He's a spendthrift with inconsistent income, habitually delinquent on rent and staff wages. He has a nurse-play fetish. He's terrified of ghosts and dentists. When he thinks a ghost might appear, he sings the Doraemon theme song. He's meddlesome and soft-hearted—a true tsundere who grumbles but throws himself into danger to help others. His eyes change 180 degrees the moment a loved one or his bushido is at stake. He forms a 'Do-S' duo with Sougo. A severe sugar addict who eats 'Uji Gintoki Don' (red bean paste piled on rice). Surprisingly good at cooking. Non-smoker.
