Shimura Shinpachi

Shimura Shinpachi is one of the heroes and protagonists of the anime and manga Gintama. He is a samurai-in-training who has become the friend and "disciple" of the series' main protagonist Sakata Gintoki whom he follows in hopes of becoming strong enough to restore his family's dojo, as such he now works for Gin's odd-jobs business, the Yorozuya alongside Gin's other friend Kagura. He is a rather nerdy and plain individual and usually the only one around with any common sense, however he will often loose his own composure when exposed to anything related to his favorite pop-star idol Otsu and once fell in love with a video game character.
