Katsura Kotaro is a samurai, the head of the Joishishi faction, an escape master and an expert in the field of explosive engineering. Wanted by the authorities as a terrorist. In the article we will briefly talk about this character of the comedic manga "Gintama".
Appearance
Katsura Kotaro has long black silky hair. In one of the episodes, he appears with a short haircut, but after a week the young man becomes the same as before. Kotaro also has an attractive face and beautiful olive-brown eyes. Usually Katsura wears Dzori (Japanese slippers), white socks and a blue kimono with a yellow belt, over which he puts on a light blue haori (jacket).
Since Kotaro is wanted, he uses disguise. This allows him to hide from Shinsengum, as well as to move freely in public places. But in most cases, the reincarnation of Katsura is unsuccessful. In general, Kotaro has quite a few images. One of them is Zurako. If it were not for the young man’s own “I”, which is impossible to overshadow, then he would succeed in his incarnations. And so, Katsura constantly impersonates a template phrase.
As a child, Kotaro braided his hair in a ponytail. And the boy wore a green hakama (wide pants), the same haori color, as well as dzori and white socks.
Character
Katsura Kotaro is an educated, intelligent, kind and calm young man. True, he is a little sick on his head and lives in his own world. Sometimes Katsura is so far from reality that it is simply impossible to reach him. Kotaro has a very specific sense of humor. Like his friend Gintoki, he loves to come up with touching stories. With the help of revolution, he wants to change the existing order in Edo. Therefore, he and the guardians of the law are looking for him, from which the young man constantly has to run away.
Katsura Kotaro’s biography tells us that since childhood he has a well-developed instinct for self-preservation. Parents died of the disease, and the boy stayed with his grandmother. Together they wandered the streets, as bad people robbed their mansion.
During a visit to the grave, her grandmother told Kotaro that his parents were great, strong warriors, and if he was weak, he would die and could not protect himself or his country. Therefore, Katsuro should go the way of the great commander. Grandma advised Kotaro to be fearful and careful in order to wage war and survive on it.
When she passed away, the boy was left completely alone until Takasugi Shinske and Sakatu Gintoki appeared in his life. To protect his friends, Katsura Kotaro began studying the art of wielding a sword at the Yoshida Shoe dojo. The young man decided to become "a samurai who is no more powerful and cowardly than anyone else." So he got the nickname "Fugitive Kotaro."
History
After training, he became an outstanding warrior, participating in the confrontation with Amanto. Having suffered defeat with friends, he joined a terrorist group called Joishishi. Soon, the interests of Kotaro and his friends diverged. Companions began to leave the group. Katsura remained the only leader. Over time, he transformed the Joishishi revolutionary faction into an almost harmless Joy organization.
Relations
The character of the anime "Gintama" Katsura Kotaro loves a pet named Elizabeth whom Sakamoto Tatsuma gave him. In a fraction, the animal is considered to be his right hand. They appear together on a regular basis, showing each other boundless love.
Kotaro is pretty good at Kagura. He has ongoing disputes with Gintoki. Takagushi is just a disgusting relationship. Katsura is in love with Ikumatsu, but does not recognize and deny it.
Quotes
The hero often repeats some expressions that fans managed to remember:
- “Fighting, excitement, excitement, trembling of the heart, and in the end everything dies due to nothing.”
- “If you can't even convince an animal to follow you, how are you going to change the world?”
- "There is a very big difference between recklessness and courage."
