Gintoki Sakata

Gintoki Sakata (Japanese: 坂田 銀時) is the main protagonist of the Gintama series. When mentioning some comedy anime, Gintama is definitely one of them, him along with Shinpachi Shimura and Kagura. The three form a hilarious trio, often finding themselves in ironic and humorous situations. Overall, he has all the interesting elements of being humorous and lazy, while also being serious at times, with emotional depth in the tragic aspects.
==Basic Information==
Gintoki Sakata is the founder and president of the Yorozuya, as well as a highly-skilled samurai, having fought in the Joui War in the past. During the war, he became known as the Shiroyasha due to his powerful swordsmanship, demonic appearance, white clothing, and silver hair.

==Archetypes==
===4th Wall Blurring===
He directly addresses the audience, is well aware that he is just a character in the anime/manga, and frequently makes satire and mocks elements of the work, the anime/manga industry, as well as real-life events.
For example, Gintoki often mentions the publisher Shueisha, the magazine Weekly Shonen Jump, and famous characters from other manga series like Dragon Ball, Naruto, Bleach or One Piece. He even jokes about Gintama's existence itself and how the story is being developed, creating a humorous connection between the character and the viewers/readers.
===Angst===
Gintoki was once a samurai during the Edo period before the Amanto (aliens) invaded Earth. He was a skilled warrior who fought in the war against the aliens during the final stages of the invasion. Gintoki fought alongside his comrades in the battle against the alien invaders, leading to significant losses and emotional scars. These events left a deep impact on him.
===Chaoslord===
Just watching him in some episodes is enough to understand.
===Distinctive Voice===
Gintoki Sakata 's voice was voiced by Tomokazu Sugita. His voice often sounds lazy and lethargic, especially when he is in a relaxed state or doesn’t want to do anything. However, it becomes very serious and powerful when necessary, particularly in situations that require courage or when he fights to protect his friends.
===Perpetual Frowner/Perpetual Smiler===
The expression on his face depends on his mood regarding whether he smiles or not (but I prefer his smiling face).
===Unkempt===
The lazy and unkempt appearance probably suits him well.
===Well-Dressed===
His clothing style is distinctive, evoking the image of traditional samurai.
