Daisuke Sakaguchi: Shinpachi Shimura

Quotes 

• [as the second half of the show begins] 

  Sakata Gintoki : This is Gintama, right? Hey? What? Huh? Right? If it were just Tama it'd be a flop! If I'm not in it, why is it Gintama?

  Shimura Shinpachi : Well, today's episode is called: 'Exposé! 24 hours in the lives of the out-of-control Shinsengumi!'

  Sakata Gintoki : What's up with that? I didn't hear about this!

  Shimura Shinpachi : Don't complain, Gin-san. At this rate, the Shinsengumi may actually become the main characters.

  Sakata Gintoki : Seriously? That's right, they didn't show the Gintama opening song today! That was a close call. This is Gintama! And I'm the main character!

  [the opening credits start] 

• Sakata Gintoki : All right then. Let's go you guys...

  Kagura : [strangling Gintoki from behind]  I misjudged you! I thought you were an honorable samurai!

  Shimura Shinpachi : [kicking Gintoki]  Are you proud of yourself, you damn dirty cheat?

  Sakata Gintoki : Come on, I protected your sister. Don't be like...

  Kagura : I'm going home. Don't ever show your face to me again!

  Shimura Shinpachi : I'm taking a leave of absence!

  Shimura Tae : Painless, eh? Well, it looks like Gin-chan's the one in the most pain, in the end...
