Who is Sakata Gintoki?

Sakata Gintoki, the main character in Hideaki Sorachi's popular manga "Gintama

He is known for his naturally permed silver hair and his lazy personality, but there is one more trait we should not forget. It is. Sweet tooth." The first is that it is

Gintoki craves sweet treats such as Uji Gintoki bowls, parfaits, and strawberry milk, and it is not uncommon to take dessert breaks during the workday.

silver general (shogi)

My doctor says my blood sugar is too high and I can only eat parfait once a week!

In the first episode of the manga, he also said this line.

So why does Gintoki have such a sweet tooth? Below are five considerations.

1. childhood influences

It is thought that his childhood was influenced by his master, Shoyo Yoshida, who taught him that "sweet food enriches the mind. Shoyo was like a father to Gintoki, and his words may have greatly influenced Gintoki's values

2. memory of war

Gintoki participated in the Exclusionist War, losing many of his comrades and experiencing a fierce battlefield. On the battlefield, where he faced death, sweet foods may have provided him with emotional support and hope for life.

3. stress relief

Gintoki, who runs the Manjo-ya business, gets into all sorts of trouble on a daily basis. Perhaps something sweet can help relieve some of this stress...

4. simply because I like them.

It could be simply because they like sweets.

5. the author also has a sweet tooth

The author, Hideaki Sorachi, himself has a sweet tooth, and the theory is that Gintoki's sweet-tooth personality reflects the author's own taste.

summary

The reason for Gintoki's sweet tooth is not clearly explained in the work. However, various considerations reveal that his sweet tooth is a profound expression of his character, his past, and his role in the work.
