"Gintama" is a masterpiece that everyone knows. In addition to the manga, it has become famous in various media such as anime and movies, and has a lot of loyal fans. There are many unique and attractive characters in "Gintama". Who is the most popular "Gintama" character? In this article, we will introduce the popular character ranking of "Gintama"! Where does your favorite character rank?
Popular character ranking No. 1: Sakata Gintoki
As expected, the main character, Sakata Gintoki, is the undisputed No. 1. Gintoki is the owner of a general store, and although he usually seems unmotivated, he is very cool when it comes to making decisions. I'm sure there are many fans who are blown away by this contrast. He also has a sweet tooth, and loves sweet things so much that his doctor has told him not to. He also has a cute side to him, as he often drinks strawberry milk. Despite this, Gintoki once fought on the front lines of the Joui War and was a swordsman nicknamed "White Demon." Of course, his skills have not dulled at all even now.
Popular Character Ranking, 2nd Place: Hijikata Toshiro
Next in second place is Hijikata Toshiro. Hijikata is also a very popular character. Next to Gintoki, it would be Okita Sougo or Hijikata Toshiro, but recently Hijikata has been climbing the ranks quite a bit. Hijikata is the vice-captain of the Shinsengumi, and is feared as the "Demon Vice-Captain." He has a lot of worries as he is surrounded by many funny people, and he is often the one who follows up or makes jokes. By the way, Hijikata, who seems normal at first glance, also has an unusual side to him, which is another charm. He is an extreme mayonnaise lover and puts copious amounts of it on everything he eats. The "Hijikata Special" is quite shocking.
Popular Character Ranking, 3rd Place: Okita Sougo
Next, in 3rd place is Okita Sougo. Okita is also very popular. Okita is the captain of the first division of the Shinsengumi. He has a sweet face and a princely appearance, but inside he is a very sadistic and cunning person. Moreover, he is always aiming for the position of vice-captain of the Shinsengumi. He has gone too far and is now aiming for Hijikata's life, and Hijikata is always being targeted with bazookas and other things. He seems to get along well with Gintoki, and they are sometimes called the "sadistic duo" because they get along well with each other. There seem to be many fans who say that they are attracted to his sadistic side! By the way, Okita himself says that he is weak when hit. It's a bit surprising, isn't it? "Because he is S, he is weak when hit, and his sword is like glass."
Popular character ranking #4: Takasugi Shinsuke
And Takasugi Shinsuke was chosen as the 4th most popular character. Takasugi is a character with a slightly dangerous charm, and he has many die-hard fans. Takasugi is the leader of the Kiheitai and a radical member of the Joi patriots. He is even said to be "the most dangerous man among the Joi patriots." He always has a pipe in his mouth and likes danger. She also seems to enjoy playing the shamisen, and was even shown playing it. By the way, she has a bandage on her left eye, but this is not a wound, but a visible sign of past pain and curses that she keeps in mind. By the way, she likes Yakult (in the story it was called "Yakultko"), and there was a scene where she bought everyone some. The contrast is fascinating.
Popular Character Ranking 5th Place: Kagura
Kagura is a member of Yorozuya and the heroine of "Gintama". She looks very cute, but her unheroine behavior is also attractive. She is also called "Geroin" because she picks her nose, spits, and has a foul mouth. But isn't that also part of Kagura's charm? She also has a cute side that suits her age, and there was a heartwarming episode where she wanted to give chocolate to Gintoki and Shinpachi on Valentine's Day but couldn't, so she asked everyone for help. Her vulgarity is noticeable, but it's all part of Kagura's charm, and she is kind and pure at heart, which makes her heart warm.
Popular Character Ranking 6th Place: Katsura Kotaro
Next, in 6th place, we have Katsura Kotaro. Katsura is a Joui patriot and was a comrade who fought with Gintoki, Takasugi, and Sakamoto in the Joui War during his time as the White Demon. Although he speaks in a samurai-like, serious tone, he is also one of the most funny characters in the series. What's funny about him is that he is completely serious. There are many hilarious episodes in which Katsura appears, so it's no wonder he has so many fans. However, like Gintoki, he is a character who makes the right decisions when it matters, so his charm is irresistible. His short hair in the Benizakura arc is particularly cool, so be sure to check it out!
Popular Character Ranking #7: Shimura Shinpachi
Shimura Shinpachi was ranked 7th. He is a member of Yorozuya. Because the characters around him are too strong, he tends to have a dull position, and he is often teased with things like "his glasses are his main character." However, he is also an important character, so much so that Gintama would not exist without Shinpachi's tsukkomi. He is an important character who has appeared since the first episode. Although he is not conspicuous, Shinpachi's sword skills are quite impressive. Although he looks normal at first glance, he is a big fan of the idol "Teramon Dori" and is also the captain of the Teramon Dori guard. When it comes to Otsu-chan, he loses sight of the others.
Popular Character Ranking 8th Place: Kamui
Kamui was chosen as the 8th place. Kamui is a member of the Space Pirates Harusame and the commander of the 7th Division. He is the older brother of the heroine Kagura, which caused quite a stir when he was first introduced. Looking at it that way, his hair color is somewhat similar. Kamui is a gentle man who is always smiling, but he has a very cold, violent and frightening personality. He nourishes his soul through fighting, but he does not kill women who are likely to give birth to strong children or young children (because they may become strong in the future). Kamui has a somewhat dangerous scent, but he is very cool and is a popular character, especially among women!
Popular Character Ranking 9th Place: Tsukuyo
The 9th place is Tsukuyo. Tsukuyo is quite popular among female characters. Her cool demeanor is very attractive. She is the strongest guardian of Yoshiwara and is feared by the nickname "Shinigami Tae". By the way, she is the leader of the underground city of Yoshiwara Shangri-La, "Hyakuka". Currently, Yoshiwara is liberated, so she lives with Hiwa and Haruta. She is a very beautiful woman with blonde hair and purple eyes. She also has an excellent figure, and Gintoki sometimes called her "Decapuri Girl".
Popular Character Ranking 10th Place Shimura Tae
And the last 10th place was Shimura Tae. Otome, commonly known as "Otome-san", is the poster girl for "Snack Smile". Otome is Shimura Shinpachi's older sister, and is also very cute, and is said to be "the most beautiful girl in Edo". Although she is always smiling, she has considerable physical strength, and can blow a human 10 meters away with just a punch, or knock down a giant gorilla-sized alien with a flying kick. Although she does not usually participate in combat, she has considerable strength. By the way, she is a master of the naginata, and was seen fighting in the movie version. She also often cooks, but her tamagoyaki always turns into dark matter, which is also a combat ability (?).
[Gintama] Popular character ranking summary!
That's it for the ranking of popular characters from "Gintama"! What did you think? There are many unique characters, and they have so much charm that it's impossible to talk about them all here. They all shine with the humor of their gag parts, but the gaps are also attractive, such as their coolness in serious scenes and their many famous quotes. Where did your favorite character rank? Also, a new anime movie will be released in 2021, so I'm really looking forward to learning more about their charms!
