Due to his white hair and incomparable swordsmanship, Gintoki was known as the Shiroyasha or White Demon during the war. After some time, Gintoki joined the Joui War to help fight the invasion of the Amanto on Earth alongside his comrades at the time.

He was an orphan fighting for his survival until a samurai teaching the samurai way, Yoshida Shouyou, picked Gintoki up. Gintoki's background is slowly revealed in the anime series. But, during serious arcs and episodes, such as the Yoshiwara Arc, Gintoki will risk his life and protect what he believes needs to be protected. I'll live how I see beautiful and protect those I hold dear.' In the more comedic stories in Gintama, Gintoki acts like a coward and makes up a lot of excuses to get out of troublesome situations. As long as I'm alive I'll live by my own rules. This speech he gave is a good example of this: 'What's the use of fighting a futile fight? Do you really intend to lose more of your friends for something like that? I'll pass on that. But there are moments in the anime that he reveals his true self and his true beliefs about life. Gintoki is a mysterious character at first, especially because we don't know much about his past until later in the anime (and in the manga). As a samurai in the almost samurai-less world, Gintoki continues cherishing his samurai ways and wielding a sword even though there is a ban on swords. Gintoki's sword is wooden, and that's another aspect that makes his character unique. His style is something to note, too, since he only wears half of his white yukata and a simple, stylish black shirt-and-pants outfit underneath. Gintoki appears to be a silly character with wavy white hair and dead-fish eyes. These four are the main characters of Gintama. The team includes Sakata Gintoki, Shimura Shinpachi, Kagura, and Sadaharu, their super-sized pet dog. Yorozuya, or Odd Jobs, is Sakata Gintoki's business, and the Gintama anime is usually centered around the Yorozuya team.

Because of their overwhelming power, the government had no qualms and easily surrendered their power to the Amanto.ДЄlthough Gintama doesn't have an obvious, single plot point like other series, it's an intriguing, incredibly humorous anime that will leave you in awe as well as tearing up from the enormous amount of laughter it causes. Gintama is based in Edo where the main characters live, and Earth has been taken over by these alien species.

Have you ever wondered what it'd be like if Earth was invaded by aliens? Well, Gintama shows you what life is like for humans living with aliens known as Amanto.
