Gintoki Sakata

Intro Gintoki Sakata is the protagonist of the hit anime Gintama. He is a lazy, sarcastic, and unorthodox samurai who operates a small business in Edo-like alternate Japan. Known for his messy white hair and trademark eyepatch, Gintoki has a strong sense of justice but prefers to hide it beneath his laid-back demeanor. He enjoys eating sweets, is highly skilled in swordsmanship, and has a habit of making reckless jokes. Despite his casual nature, he deeply cares for his friends and is fiercely protective when it comes to their safety. Gintoki often battles against various threats, both extraterrestrial and human, balancing his freelance work with his sense of duty to protect his home and loved ones. He has a complex relationship with the Shinsengumi and a history with powerful figures from the past, which continues to influence his present actions.
