Sakata Gintoki is a samurai living in an era when samurai are no longer
needed. To add to his troubles, oppressive aliens have moved in to
invade. Gintoki works taking on odd jobs alongside two kids: Kagura and
Shinpachi. In the Joui war, he was known as the "White Devil"
(Shiroyasha) due to his silver hair and white clothing he wore in
battle, which, combined with his impressive capabilities as a swordsman,
made him famous among his comrades and struck fear into Amanto.
Gintoki has naturally permed silver hair, which he blames for his
lacking love-life. He has a big crush on the TV's news weather girl,
Ketsuno. In fact, to date, the only time he is seen to have blushed is
when he tries to make use of Sadaharu and Ketsuno's dog to get a chance
to talk to her. Though several female characters have shown an interest
in Gintoki, he usually does not show any response back and merely puts
up with them as annoyances.
Gintoki has two major obsessions in life. He is obsessed with sweet food
such as parfaits, ice cream and cakes. His second obsession is reading
the manga anthology magazine Weekly Shounen Jump. (Which, not
coincidentally, is where Gintama is published in). Gintoki will go to
great lengths to get the latest Jump issue, to the point of reckless
behavior. His Jump obsession makes him easily dream of being like other
Jump heroes, including wishing that he had a "Bankai" similar to the
hero characters of Bleach.
Despite his appearance and initial behavior, Gintoki has a great amount
of pride for the old bushido code. He takes it upon himself to rescue or
avenge not only his comrades and friends but also people he barely got
acquainted to, be it a pit-fighter who was taking care of abandoned
orphans or an Amanto who resembles a kappa.
Despite being a fearsome fighter with nearly unmatched skills, he avoids
needless bloodshed after suffering the loss of most of his friends and
allies during the Joui war.
