Summary

Tatsuma Sakamoto is a man in his twenties, standing 181 cm tall and weighing 70 kg, with a birthday on November 15 under the Scorpio zodiac. A former member of the Joi, he is a good-natured optimist whose cheerfulness borders on ridiculous, even in perilous situations. He frequently uses the phrase "AHAHA! It must be _____" and has a habit of misspelling names, referring to Gintoki as "Kintoki." Gintoki often corrects him, pointing out that if he were named Kintoki, they would likely star in a hentai anime, as the change from "Gin" to "Kin" would alter the title to "Kintama," meaning testicles, rather than "Gintama," which translates to silver soul. Despite his goofy demeanor, Sakamoto is a successful galactic businessman who views commerce as a means of protecting his nation. He commands a private, well-equipped defensive fleet and believes that sacrifices are necessary for the greater good, a conviction that led him to abandon his comrades on Earth to venture into space. In an anime filler episode, he demonstrates proficiency with a pistol. His name is derived from the historical figure Sakamoto Ryoma, and like his inspiration, he speaks in the Tosa-ben dialect.
