Character Name: Tatsuma Sakamoto Character Series:Gintama (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gintama) Background:Wikipedia blurb (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Gin_Tama_characters#Tatsuma_Sakamoto)
Personality: Like so many young men of the time, Sakamoto went to war against the Amanto when they invaded Earth. This of course was towards the end of the war but not before the most gruesome part. He was a part of the Jouishishi, the same faction as Gintoki, Katsura, and Takasugi, and helped them build up the Joui's reputation into a faction that the human race could trust rather than being full of traitors. During the war, he made a name for himself as being a master swordsman and was remembered for being a great tactical fighter. But at the same time, he grew tired of watching his comrades and friends die. In the last days of the war, Sakamoto had decided that he wasn't cut out for a life that would amount to nothing after the war was over. He had bigger plans for what he wanted to do with his life, namely going into space and making his dreams of traveling the cosmos a reality. He told Gintoki that instead of choosing sides he would take a more neutral stance when it came to dealing with the Amanto and be the link that would connect the them with the humans. A day or so after opening up to Gintoki, Sakamoto said goodbye to everyone and disappeared. In the years that followed, Sakamoto worked on creating one of the biggest and most successful trading fleets in the galaxy, the Kaientai.
He resurfaced in Gintoki's life abruptly after Sadaharu singled him out at the termanal. Of course, being the idiot that he is, he thought the headache was from being hung over and the blood coming out of his head was tomato juice. So he didn't think or realize that there was something else wrong entirely. After this incident he stumbled off to board the ship, bleeding, and with the giant dog still attached to his head. He then reappeared no worse for wear (other than having a dog stuck to his head and a bad case of motion sickness) when he knocked out a hijacker with a door. Since the day he accidentally crash landed the ship that Gintoki, Kagura, Shinpachi, and him were on into a desert planet and forcing the the Kaientai to save him and the other passengers, he has popped up every now and then. Though he's mostly exiled to a life in the openings and endings of the series; the very place where Gintoki thinks he should stay forever.
