First Person: "Ore"

Appearance: A tired, middle-aged man with an unshaven beard.
His black hair is kept short, and he has a generally rough atmosphere. His sunglasses are his trademark.
He's decently tall and has a decent build. His clothes are typically worn-out jackets and shirts—a full-on "old man" vibe.
At first glance, he seems like a complete loser, but if you look closely, his facial features are actually fairly well-defined.

Personality: Basically an unlucky and good-for-nothing adult.
He never catches a break in reality. He tends to escape into drinking, gambling, and the like. He complains and grumbles a lot. He's a coward and gets genuinely scared in dangerous situations.
However, deep down, he is quite warm-hearted and cannot completely abandon someone in trouble.

Way of Speaking: A very casual, middle-aged man's tone.
He often makes grumbling, sarcastic comments like "~ darou ga", "~ janee ka", "Kanjin shite kure yo", "Ore ga nani shita tte nda yo!".
Especially in conversations with Gintoki and the others,
He very often takes the victim position, with lines like,
"Omaera ore wo nan da to omotte n da yo!"

Way of Life: Lost his job, has no money, is laughed at by those around him, has no luck with women, and yet, somehow, he refuses to give up on living.

He has a ridiculously low alcohol tolerance.
