Character Name: Gintoki Sakata Character Series:Gintama (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gin_Tama#Plot) Background:Character wiki article (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gintoki_Sakata)
Personality:
Gintoki is a punk and yet not a punk. He lazes about the house, scratches himself, is far too interested in the news' weather girl, hangs around downtown playing Pachinko, gets hangovers, and acts like he knows jack. The trick his, he actually does know Jack, given his amazing life experiences up to this point. He knows what's important, besides eating sugar and reading the latest Jump issue. Only fight if you're trying to protect something. Don't drag things around with you through life that prevent you from facing forward. Death is death, and nothing can change that fate. Sometimes Jump comes out on a Saturday, so be careful.
He seems to just put up with women that show up in his life, thinking they're insane (in most cases he runs into, they are), although he has a major crush on the weather girl he watches each morning on the news. His true love, however, is sugar. It's too bad that his doctor told him that he's on the verge of developing diabetes, and he can only have a chocolate parfait once a week. In the meantime, what he's really on the verge on is starting a religion for strawberry milk. According to him, that stuff is the water of life.
Gintoki sticks up for the weak, stands by those who are lost, and sees the true heart in the people that everyone else has pushed aside, the people who've lost sight of their own heart, the people who'd already given up on happiness. He'll just wave it off as no big deal, though, saying that he had nothing better to do that day anyway. He's a bad liar, but an amusing one if anything, and will stick to his alibi five times longer than is really necessary. Aside from lying, he rambles near-nonstop quite often, but so does the rest of the cast, because that's simply the style of writing the author has. Like the rest of the cast, Gintoki can either take the role of the funny man or the straight man. He also breaks the fourth wall a decent amount, complaining about his lack of screentime or hoping that his popularity with female readers is high.
Gintoki gets scared and superstitious easily enough. He is not a man without fear by any means, but that doesn't stop him from facing any enemy, no matter how intimidating, to protect those around him. He strives to live by his own bushido code, taught to him by his childhood teacher long ago, both carrying with him his samurai past and also closing the chapter in his life that was that terrible war.
