With the death of his father and the government's ban on swords, this son of a swordsmanship dojo family has struggled with its upkeep. After Gintoki saved his sister from a loan shark Amanto, he resolved to temper his soul by observing Gintoki and working at Yorozuya.

There also exists a rumor that his glasses are in fact his main body.
