utsuro

Utsuro was the founder and first leader of the Tenshouin Naraku before Oboro (gintama) took his position. He is the original identity and self of Yoshida Shouyou and now part of the Tendoshu. Utsuro is one of the antagonists introduced in the Farewell, Shinsengumi Arc, and established as the main antagonist in the Gintama series.

Utsuro's clothing of Tendoushuu includes a dark-green cape with feathers on the shoulders and the mask of the Yatagarasu. In later chapters he was shown to wear a black kimono with no mask on. In contrast to Shouyou, he's wearing his hair laid back and has red eyes filled with emptiness. Just like all Naraku assassins, he's carrying a shakujō with a hidden blade inside. The tsuba of his blade has the form of the manji.

Utsuro is rarely shown without a cold, weary smile, which neither shows happiness nor hides sadness.
