Tsukuyo

Tsukuyo, also known as Courtesan of Death, Courtesan of Heaven, Guardian of Sun, Tsukki, Tsukuo, Drunk Terminator, The Moon of Yoshiwara and Shinigami Tayuu, is a character from the Gintama series.
== Charactah Account ==
Tsukuyo is the leader of the Hyakka, Yoshiwara's law-enforcement squad which consists solely of women, deployed by the Night King Hosen.
Tsukuyo is a competent action girl, she is also known as the "Courtesan of Death", which means she doesn't serve as an actual courtesan, rather she protects them from unsavory patrons and general aggression. She scarred her own face to reject her identity as a woman at her master's request. Her loyalty and home lies with Hinowa who looked after her when she was a child.
Despite initially appearing to be Hosen's loyal enforcer, Tsukuyo is quick to defect and become allies with the Yorozuya when they try to reunite Seita with Hinowa. Starting out she is cold and reserved, but the Yorozuya are able to make her open up to others, for which she thanks them. She also appears to develop feelings for Gintoki, but firmly denies it when she is teased about it.

== Trivia ==
* Tsukuyo's name and personality are based on Tsukuyomi-no-Mikoto, also known as Tsukuyomi, the moon god in Shinto and Japanese mythology. This makes her one of the few characters in Gintama to be based on mythological characters, with the other notable one being Sakata Gintoki.
* Tsukuyo speaks with a classic prostitute accent such as wachi, nushi and linsu.
* Tsukuyo placed 10th in the Second Popularity Poll, 11th on the Third, 12th on the Forth, 9th on the Fifth and 9th in the Sixth which has caused jealousy among the other female characters, most notably Sarutobi and Otae, as the votes suggest Tsukuyo is the 2nd most popular female character in Gintama, only behind Kagura.
* Kagura and Sa-chan call her "Tsukki", a nickname Hinowa likes.
* Tsukuyo, whose name contains tsuki, meaning "Moon", is referred to as Yoshiwara's Moon, just as Hinowa is referred to as its Sun.
* As seen in Lesson 262, Tsukuyo offered commercial sexual services to Gintoki when he was her suitor, but was immediately rejected by Gintoki as she misunderstood the meaning of “service” Hinowa mentioned.
* As seen in Courtesan of a Nation Arc, Tsukuyo risked her life to aid Gintoki when Sasaki Isaburo shot him.
* In the novel “The Return of Gintama Class 3-Z Ginpachi-sensei Phoenix: Funky Monkey Teachers” Tsukuyo make a first appearance as a health education teacher in the spinoff novel series.
* At the end of volume 72, Tsukuyo ranked 2nd in female character that has large breasts.
** If Sorachi didn't put Kagura (Timeskip Arc) in the 1st place, Tsukuyo would be ranked 1st in female character that has large breasts.
