| - Two things come to mind when one first sees Sakata Gintoki: a slacker and an idiot. Gintoki blames it on his eyes. They're rarely enthusiastic. He was sadly born with it much like his natural perm. But the man is quite lazy, frankly speaking. If he had a luxury (and 60% of the time he feels he has such luxury), Gintoki would rather lie down to read or walk around, watch people, pick his nose, or listen to radio shows. He also has a weakness to sob stories. Once you've earned Gintoki's sympathy, expect him to move mountains just to help you.

| - Two things come to mind when one first sees Sakata Gintoki: a slacker and an idiot. Gintoki blames it on his eyes. They're rarely enthusiastic. He was sadly born with it much like his natural perm. But the man is quite lazy, frankly speaking. If he had a luxury (and 60% of the time he feels he has such luxury), Gintoki would rather lie down to read or walk around, watch people, pick his nose, or listen to radio shows. The man lazes around a lot (Gintoki calls it "Taking it easy")because he believes that dedicating a portion of time listening to radio shows and reading dime novels enriches his mind. He's a very imaginative man and at times, he tends to be philosophical, mostly brutally honest to the people he talks to. Some people find this sarcastic though. Most people find him funny (even when he's serious), but straight laced people will definitely find him annoying. In spite of this visible lethargy, he is a man of the times and recognizes that if he wants to have a tall glass of strawberry parfait, he's got to work for it. Gintoki does break a sweat and gets his job the done. If you are his employer or his crewmate, you could get pissed at him (he does look lazy!), but in the end you can't find anyone else better to work with. Beyond one's first impression, one would realize that Gintoki is quite a spirited, enigmatic, honest, and funny guy. A man who continues to weigh his actions, Gintoki will always follow what his heart compels him to do. He's very sympathetic. His heart was built on the spirit of heroism and chivalry. It's because of this that Gintoki, despite his lazy demeanor, can never turn down a person in need. And it's because of this that you would find him trustworthy. To those whom he's helped, they describe him as unconventional, erratic, extraordinary, and fantastic. No one really understands Gintoki and he's not asking them to. At his core, Gintoki's just trying to make the world a better place -- one brave act after another. Physically, Gintoki shows his weakness when he hasn't had his serving of sugar in a day. A sugar a day does keep the doctor away after all. The man becomes more lethargic when he doesn't have his sugar. Sometimes, he can push himself to work even if he hasn't had his dose of sweets, but expect him to collapse afterwards. Gintoki is unshakeable in terms of principle but expect him have some bit of temperament when his person is attacked. If you call him on his permed hair or his sugar, Gintoki will put up his defenses and tell you that it wasn't his sin to be born with permed hair. He also has a weakness to sob stories. Once you've earned Gintoki's sympathy, expect him to move mountains just to help you.
