I've got no intention of apologizing or explaining myself at this point as I, too came here because of something precious. Even if I had to steal and destroy things others hold dear, I'm going to bring that person back.

Doromizu Pirako

Chin Pirako was first introduced as a hitokiri, aka manslayer trying to join the Yorozuya and Otose's "faction", but soon turned out to be the daughter of Doromizu Jirochou with the sole intention of making him the lone ruler of Kabuki-chou. She played a central role in the 4 Devas arc. She is the secondary main antagonist of Kabukicho Four Devas Arc

Background

Whilst her mother was pregnant with her, Jirochou left them. Although her mother later told her that he was not to blame and that there was still some good left in him, she grew up with no father.

Appearance

She has dark purple eyes and short, vermillion red hair that is tied up in the front. She wears a pink kimono with a floral design draped over her left shoulder.

Personality

Although she acts moronic and violent during her introduction, she is actually quite cunning in staging the whole war faction in the Kabuki district.

Strength & Abilites

Her weapon of choice is a katana. Just as her father, Pirako possesses extraordinary sword skills, giving her the ability to even cut down two of Gengai's robots with ease. Although the fact that she is Jirocho's daughter is not widely spread among the other territories of the Kabuki District, her sword skills have given her a fearsome reputation, which she used to uphold by brutally slaughtering her enemies. Nevertheless she was defeated by Shinpachi instantly, although he merely used the back of his sword to avoid a lethal wound.

Relationship

Family

• Doromizu Jirochou: Her sole reason for interfering with the 4 Devas and starting a war between them was that she thought it would bring her father back to her.

Love Interest

• Sakata Gintoki: She has shown that she has taken a liking to Gintoki, even going as far as saying he should marry her to join her family, however this may have just been a ruse to aggravate him considering the circumstances (Gintoki was fighting in Otose's faction during the 4 Devas arc).

Story

In the manga/anime, Chin Pirako was introduced during the 4 Devas arc as an assassin wanting to join the Yorozuya. However, it would soon become clear that she had ulterior motives and was only after one thing: To stirr up a war between the Devas and make Jirochou the new ruler of Kabuki-chou, so that he would be done with his business and come home to her.

She was also in cahoots with Kujaku Hime Kada, as she wanted to sever Jirochou's ties with Otose. However Kada had plans of her own and attacked everybody (including Chin Pirako) with her army of Shinra, but ultimately failed and lost to the combined efforts of the other 3 Devas and the residents of Kabuki-chou.

Chin Pirako reunites with her father in Episode 214

During the ending sequences of the arc, Chin Pirako was eventually reunited with her father, who had given up his position in order to spend more time with her.

Trivia

• Most likely another one of the manga author's pun, Chin Pirako's name is derived from chinpira, meaning hoodlum or small-time yakuza, and -ko, a suffix commonly used for female names.
• Many fans said her hair is the same hair color as Kagura and her eyes is the same eye color as Okita Sougo.
