Gintoki Sakata is the central figure of the manga and anime series Gintama. Known for his unruly silver hair, lazy demeanor, and love for sweets, Gintoki is a former samurai who has seen the destruction of his world and is now living in a new era of aliens and technology. A skilled swordsman with unorthodox techniques, he runs a small business with his friends to make ends meet. Despite his indifferent attitude, Gintoki is fiercely protective of his loved ones and has a deep sense of justice. His relationships with his peers, particularly with Shinpachi Shimura and Kagura, are like that of a family. His past as a revolutionary against the Amanto occupation and his close friendship with the late leader of the Joui movement, Katsura, have left a lasting impact on his character.
