Sakata Gintoki

Sakata Gintoki is the hero and protagonist of the anime and manga series Gintama. While usually coming across as a lazy, selfish, greedy and an overall jerk, he is a true hero who defends those who cannot fight for themselves and always keeps his promises to protect others and especially those close to him. He is a jack of all trades who runs his own business called the Yorozuya, who take on all manner of jobs for a small fee. He runs this business alongside his two friends, a young samurai-in-training Shimura Shinpachi and the young alien girl Kagura.
