| There are too many male characters all around so I only include the most prominent ones. My vote goes to Katsura, followed by Gintoki and Kamui. |
| All of them are amazing but Gintoki is #1! The best character ever is above everything. |
 |
| This should be a rhetorical question. Katsura is the best male character, fact. |
 |
| Best Guy janai, Katsura da! |
| "Let Justice Be Done!" My Theme Fight again, fight again for justice! |
| Oboro, you already know. |
 |
| So many great characters but I'll go with Sougo. |
 |
| The answer is the main character(主人公) of this series- shiroyasha. |
 NANDESUKA KORE? |
| Gintoki since he made me laugh and cry the most. However I can't lie, Gintama has such a great bunch of characters! Hijikata close second, Zura's third for me! Who voted for Shinpachi's glasses? |
 |
| Such a difficult question, all of them are superb but I'll go with Gintoki. He's funny, inspirational and savage. Hijikata 2nd, followed by Katusra close 3rd. |

| This guy win it, no contest Katsurap da yo.. |

| That's a tough question because I love all of them lol. Apart from Gintoki, I'd say Hijikata>Zura> Kondo >Sougo. |
| I gotta say Katsura, but Gin in troll mode is a close second one. Then, Hijikata and Sogo. Also, where's the ninja dude? After the shogun arc he deserves at least a mention. |
| 5 main aspects I base my ratings on: 1. Did DramaEnthusiast make a thread about it? 2. Is it better than Breaking Bad? 3. Did MellowJello recommend the shit out of it? 4. Has it caused a (very entertaining) shitstorm on MAL? 5. Is it actually good? Scratch the fifth point, it's not very relevant... |
| Katsura for sure; Gintoki would have to come second. |
 |
| If Gintoki wasn't on this list, my vote would have went to Katsura, followed up by Sakamoto. |
 |
| You don't even have to create a poll or have a debate about this, you already know ITS SAKATA GINTOKI!!!! |
 |
| One day Yamazaki will be on these polls. |
| It's obviously Gintoki. |
| Gintoki will obviously win this easily, but if we don't include him...Zura, Takasugi, Hijikata and Sougo all deserve it tbh. |
 |
| Putting Gintoki in there just feels unfair haha. Katsura is my favorite character otherwise though. Is it wrong that I still secretly want him to end up with Ikumatsu?  |
| It's literally a tie for me between Gintoki and Hijikata. But since poor Hijikata has barely gotten any votes yet, I'll vote for him. Wait, somebody voted for Megane-san and nobody for Taksugi and Tatsuma? Well I supose "best" guy does hold some meaning. |

| Given both Anime Planet and MAL rankings, I'd expect Hijikata (and maybe Okita) to beat Katsura, but Zura is crushing them! Duh Gintoki is #1. |
 |
| Takasugi just wants to destroy. This poll, devoid of sensei. |
| All of them? I need an option for Sasaki. |
| "Everyone's carrying something that matters. You just don't realize when you're carrying it. It's only after it slips out of your hand that you realize how heavy it was in the first place. So many times I thought that I'd never carry a load like that ever again. And yet, before I realized it, I was carrying it again. I'd feel so much better if I just got rid of it. But I just can't bring myself to do it." - Sakata Gintoki |
| Voted Gintoki, but tbh when it comes to the guys in Gintama, my mind changes like the weather...they're all awesome!! I think the overall best guys are (in no particular order) Gin, Katsura, Sougo and Kamui...and also Yamazaki (srsly he's so underappreciated). |

| Always Katsura for me. |

GoldenDevilGamer said: Who voted for Shinpachi's glasses? You are saying it like it's something absurd. I've voted Gintoki because he's the soul of the series, but Shinpachi is a clear second pick. He is the perfect recipient of jokes, an endless source of comedic creativity. There's so many jokes at his cost, and he's also the instigator of lots. Heck, he may represent one of the biggest comedic achievements of the series: being able to find the absurd in the tsukkomi role, to the point it competes with and often overshadows the boke. The great thing about Shinpachi is that he would be completely forgettable in any other series. In Gintama, he has a pivotal role in everything. And it works, because the series manages to turn the mundane he represents into the same sort of eccentric absurd that is present in any other character from the show. I honestly believe that it's amazing, and to me holds more merit than making for instance Katsura's personality work and fit the mood. |

I just wanted to know why someone preferred him over everyone else and I was interested in hearing their reasoning.GoldenDevilGamer said: Who voted for Shinpachi's glasses?

| Top 10: Gintoki (best guy in all of anime)>Katsura>Hijikata=Sougo=Kondo=Takasugi=Madao=Kamui>Sakamoto=Zenzo Edit: If Zura's fanbase is already this big, I can't imagine what the scores will be once chapters 562, 563 & 564 get animated. |
 |
| Gintoki hands down. I mean I also love Sougo, Hijikata and Katsura, but since Gintoki shows up way more often he has way more badass/cool/funny moments. So all the more reasons to choose him. I mean come on. Even other characters in Gintama find him awesome. |
 |
| Who is the best guy in Gintama and why is he Gintoki? |
| Huh, i ddidn't voted yet, Gintoki without doubt. |

He really makes the poll a bit unfair for others. What chapter /ep is the part w gintoki teasing Katsura about ikumatsu from? |
| You can see this from the Manga at Chapter 431 : A bowl of ramen |
Tobacco Causes Severe Health Problems, Smoke Moderately While Respecting Others. |
| The Shogun lololololololol |
| I feel like Gin and Sougo are splitting the sadist vote. But really, having Gintoki in this is just unfair. Timing of this poll means Zura takes it (excluding Gin), which is great, because he was my first favorite Gintama character when I started the series. |

| How can you not include Madao on this list? WTF is wrong with you? |
 |
| Katsura all the way!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I voted for Katsura and had no idea he would be #2. Lol. |
 |
| zura ofc. then gin and toshi lol. |
 |
| Very difficult. All of them are pretty much fantastic. I got Gintoki first, then Hijikata, then Katsura, then Sougo, all of which are in the same tier where I've wanted to add them to my favorites but I force myself to pick one representative. I love Gintoki's humor and attitude towards things as well as his inspirational/cool quotes. His major advantage over others is that he had more screentime. My answers would probably switch if any of the other 3 had more screentime to have more chances of making me laugh. |
 |
| Why the hell isn't Hasegawa in the list? Gintoki though. |
 |
But they're all hoes. |
| Be thankful for the wisdom granted to you. |
| Even though I have Gintoki in my favorites, my vote goes to Zura. Such a charming and hilarious guy with a shtick that never gets old. |
 |
| Where's Madao? aka Hasegawa... :D |
 |
| Shogun, it's always the Shogun. <33333333 |
