#GOD EATER 2 ENGLISH VA SERIES#
While brainstorming on the name for a manga, Hideaki Sorachi's editor commented, "Do you think a silver samurai would be cool?" This inspired Sorachi to create the main character after deciding the series should be named Gin Tama. Hijikata Toshizō and Kintarō were the models of Gintoki's character. Merchandise based on Gintoki has also been released, including figurines. Gintoki has also remained highly popular with Gin Tama fans, ranking first in all of the popularity polls. When he once parodied a Japanese politician in 2016, the company behind the manga, Shueisha, expressed pressure as well as laughter. While Gintoki's reception has been positive, writers have also criticized his characterization in some story arcs. Gintoki's character has received critical response from various reviewers and publications for manga, anime and other media. Shun Oguri portrays him in the live-action films. For the English release of the first movie, he was voiced by Chris Patton, whereas in the Gintama° episodes Gintoki was played by Michael Daingerfield later, Roly Gutiérrez dubbed him in the first anime series. In the anime series Gintoki was voiced by Tomokazu Sugita, who enjoyed his character. However, Sorachi changed his mind as he did not want the main character to be working in an organization and further remodeled his design into the present one.

He was originally going to be based on Hijikata Toshizō, the vice-captain from the Shinsengumi special forces. Sorachi created the character after suggestions of his editors of having silver-haired samurai. As the main character, Gintoki has appeared in most of the episodes of the anime series, as well as in other media related to the franchise, including the film and all of the spin-off video games and original video animations. Across the series, more details about Gintoki's past are revealed leading him to encounter former friends as enemies. Gintoki once fought the alien invaders until he realized the lack of sense in doing so, leading to him choosing to instead make a living as a freelancer for hire in Edo alongside his friends Shinpachi Shimura and Kagura in order to pay the monthly rent. He is introduced as a former rebel samurai who lives in a fictionalized version of 1860s Japan after being invaded and transformed by aliens. Gintoki is the protagonist of the series and his name serves as part of the basis of the series' title.
