History Characters / GintamaKabukicho

* {{Bokukko}}: Uses the male pronoun "ore" since she was raised by firemen, reinforcing how tomboyish she is.

* CoolLoser: Despite being called out on his inability to crawl out of his homelessness, he is still part of the Yorozuya's entourage and they consider him a friend.

* {{Keigo}}: Unfailingly polite.

* BladeOnAStick: In the final arc of the series, he fights using a naginata against the Altana Liberation Army.

* BladeOnAStick: Her weapon is a naginata. It's mostly utilized for threatening the likes of Gintoki and Kondo, but she's used it a number of times in actual combat.

* InSeriesNickname: [[StarWars Obi]]-[[PunnyName One]].
* LaserBlade: His weapon is a [[StarWars light-]] we mean beam saber. He's also able to project a huge one from his hand thanks to his cyborg half.

* PeacockGirl: Not literally but close enough.

* ChristmasCake: The reason why she looks different than most other female characters might be due to her being an older woman. She's also a spinster, as everyone is quick to point out.

* HistoricalDomainCharacter: Based on the historical Otose, but this one is the wife of Isuke not Tatsugoro, a farmer from Terada Village. Isuke founded the Terada Inn, which was a gathering place for ronin pro-imperal loyalists.

* HistoricalDomainCharacter: Based on Hiraga Gennai who was a pharmacologist, physician, author, painter, and inventor of the Edo period.

* RetroGaming: She comes across a virus that, among other things, reduces her to an 8-bit sprite.

* AsskickingEqualsAuthority: He's the boss of the stray cats by virtue of being the strongest.

* SignificantWhiteHairDarkSkin: His white hair and dark skin make him stand out as the leader of the local {{yakuza}} syndicate and one of the ruling 4 Devas of Kabukicho.

* DeterminedWidow: Despite being pretty defenseless, she still stands her ground firmly against her would-be embezzlers.

* DotingParent: [[spoiler:After returning to Kabukicho with his daughter Pirako, he constantly showers her with affection, compensating for not being there during her childhood.]]

* OverprotectiveDad: [[spoiler:After returning to Kabukicho with Pirako, it is revealed he has become a very doting father, to the point he gets up in Gintoki's face and threatens to cut up anybody who touches her, especially any boys she is weirdly attracted to and calls aniki (which Gintoki points out only applies to him).]]

* BladeOnAStick: Her WeaponOfChoice is a naginata. It's mostly utilized for threatening the likes of Gintoki and Kondo, but she's used it a number of times in actual combat.

* ArmorPiercingSlap: In comedic situations she regularly beats up characters that are portrayed as much stronger than her, like Kondo or Gintoki.

* {{Expy}}: Of [[Manga/RurouniKenshin Kaoru]], natch, all the way to the violent rage (albeit more subdued in Kaoru's case), their LethalChef tendencies, being a HeirToTheDojo, trying to be a proper YamatoNadeshiko (as a bonus point, Kaoru only wields the naginata in the live-action films, something she doesn't do in the manga. Doubles as HilariousInHindsight), having a little brother figure (as noted on Shinpachi's section. In her case, actual little brother), and even ''having an unknown disease in a BadFuture-setting second OVA!'' (to be fair, the Remembrance OVA is not really that trope at all, just that it didn't make it end well for Kenshin and Kaoru).

* ArmorPiercingSlap: In an anime filler episode, she hits Sakamoto when he tries to jump her. This is in contrast to her canon appearances, where she notably frowns upon the idea of hitting him when Tae proposes she does it in response to him groping her. When they are first seen on page together in the manga, she also hides behind Tae instead of hitting him.

* DarkSkinnedBlond: Dark skin and white hair.

* HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler: Happens in the last arc of the series, when he along Tama and the robots used the Neo Armstrong Cyclone Jet Armstrong Gengai Cannon in order to release a lethal machine virus on the air. That virus would affect him too leading to his death.]]

* IllGirl: In the second movie's BadFuture she becomes infected with the Enmi nanomachine virus called the White Curse, causing her hair to turn white and her eyesight failing along with her health.

* KarmaHoudini: One of the biggest in the series. She never suffered any consequence for having facilitated Kada's schemes and setting everyone up. She got away with only a minor injury to the forehead.

* PersonaNonGrata: In the end, even though he helps her get away, Gintoki makes it clear that he doesn't want to see her face again after what she did to the Kabukicho district. And if she ever comes back, she will be dealt with permanently that time.

* {{Expy}}: Of [[Manga/RurouniKenshin Kaoru]], natch, all the way to the violent rage (albeit more subdued in Kaoru's case), their LethalChef tendencies, being a HeirToTheDojo, trying to be a proper YamatoNadeshiko (as a bonus point, Kaoru only wields the naginata in the live-action films, something she doesn't do in the manga. Doubles as HilariousInHindsight), having a little brother figure (as noted on Shinpachi's section. In her case, actual little brother), and even ''having an unknown disease in a BadFuture-setting second OVA!'' (to be fair, the Remembrance OVA is not really that trope at all, just that it didn't make it end well for Kenshin and Kaoru). Unlike Kaoru, however, Tae never really develops feelings for Gintoki, and the only missing trait is the InVinoVeritas moments, though that honor goes to Tsukuyo.

* JustFriends: A one-sided variant between her and Kyubei. While both were ChildhoodFriends, Kyubei continues to harbor feelings for Otae to the present day, whereas Otae sees them as her closest friend. Interestingly, the Dekoboko arc demonstrated that, while Kyubei was given the body of a man as "Yagyu Jubei", Otae expressed attraction to them, suggesting the only reason Otae doesn't reciprocate Kyubei's feelings is because Otae isn't sexually attracted to women.

* BastardGirlfriend: How Kondo sees her, though part of the reason is because he continues to stalk her despite the fact that she doesn't actually reciprocate his feelings.

* BaldOfAwesome: Except for that little bit of hair on the back of his head, he's mostly bald.

* SkunkStripe: In the second movie, her future self is seen sporting a double one, though she remains otherwise unchanged.

* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: More than justified by being an Amanto.

* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: Her green hair is more than justified by her being an android.

* {{Bishonen}}: Thanks to plastic surgery, he is probably the prettiest man in the series, complete with sparkles in the air when he appears.

* MagicPlasticSurgery: Through plastic surgery he completely changed his appearance from a dark-haired {{Gonk}} to a blond sparkling {{Bishonen}}.

* {{Gonk}}: His ugliness after his surgery accident is repeatedly emphasized, with his enlargened lips, broad nose and uni-brow. This is especially contrasted with the {{Bishonen}}s he works alongside, like his best friend Kyoshiro.

* IllBoy: He is very sick and is kept in bed at home to make sure his health doesn't become worse. After eloping with Ofusa, his condition worsens and he eventually dies after being taken home by his father.
