Previous pets all died because of her own inability to control her massive strength and killing the pets inadvertently. 'Sadaharu No. 28' was the latest deceased addition in the form of a dung beetle. 'Sadaharu No.1' was a rabbit.

She refuses to accept her legacy as a yato, and just wants to live as a normal girl. Although she doesn't like violence, she clearly use violence to solve her problems which Hasegawa Taizou labeled her as 'ultra hot (tempered/aggressive) China girl'. She often gets into quarrel with Shinpachi and Okita and she always hits them mercilessly.

Although she doesn't like violence, she clearly uses violence to solve her problems, [[Hasegawa Taizou]] labeled her as 'ultra-hot (tempered/aggressive) China girl'. She often quarrels with Shinpachi and Okita physically and verbally.
She has a sharp tongue and isn't afraid to speak her mind or insult people even if its to strangers. She would often swallow everything Gintoki says and regurgitates them ad hoc as a form of advice, sometimes in inappropriate context. She acts very "unlady like" in terms of the ways she speaks and in certain things she does such as vomiting or picking her nose.

However, she is still a young girl who likes others to pamper her and on some occasions has shown to have a girly side. Although she doesn't act like she cares (such as beating up Shinpachi), she loves the Yorozuya and becomes even stronger and determined to protect her loved ones.

However, she is still a young girl who likes others to pamper her and on some occasions has shown to have a girly side. Although she acts like she doesn't care for the Yorozuya (e.g., beating up Shinpachi and Gintoki) she really does care for the Yorozuya as seen through her actions towards them such as trying to protect them when they're hurt in a fight.
   
 
She loves eating and seems to have an insatiable appetite, with a particular fondness for rice and [[Items featured in Gintama#Sukonbu|sukonbu]].

[[File:Kagurabeat.PNG|thumb|[[Episode 264]]]] She, like other Yato, possesses natural and instinctive fighting abilities and physical strength that far surpass human capabilities. Abuto has suggested that Kagura is among the highest elite of the Yato, equal only to Kamui, Umibouzu, and Housen, meaning her abilities far exceed that of an average Yato, but her kind nature holds her back, only when she is "awakened" can she use it to her full potential.
'''Expert Hand-to-Hand Combatant''': Due to the yato blood running through her veins she is exceptionally strong, but can also lose control of her power and "awaken", when her friends are in serious danger.<ref>Sorachi Hideaki. ''Gintama''. Shueisha, Vol. 26, Lesson 219, p. 8.</ref> Her innate Yato killer instincts are generally suppressed because she doesn't like it, but is frequently overtly released when giving Shinpachi a thrashing every now and then. However, her instincts fully woke up in Yoshiwara Blaze arc in her battle with [[Abuto]] when he hurt Shinpachi who came to assist Kagura.

In the Benizakura arc, she has shown amazing healing abilities after [[Kijima Matako]] shot her. Kagura was able catch the bullets with her hands and mouth.

'''Yato Mode''': Kagura, in a panic, once tapped into the full potential of her Yato heritage which transformed her into a monster bent only on killing Abuto. She has no control over herself in this state and says she does not remember anything other than feeling anger. In this state, Kagura's strength and fighting ability go up tremendously enough to where she can overwhelm the Abuto, who was stronger when she was not "awakened" albeit missing an arm. For her killing blow, she drove a Naginata through his shoulder and crashed him through the wall all in one move. Kagura was only able to get out of this state because Shinpachi's words reached her and refuse to ever enter this state again as she fears she might completely lose herself to the Yato heritage within herself.
She also carries an umbrella around, as protection for the sun, since the Yato species are averse to sunlight. The umbrella also acts as a weapon that can fire bullets like a machine-gun. Even without her umbrella, Kagura is an incredible close range fighter.

* '''[[Umibouzu]]:''' Her biological father. She feels embarrassed in his presence because of his baldness. She would call Umibouzu as 'Papi' and after his hair is all gone, calls him ''Hage'' (literally meaning bald-head). Kagura's dream is to travel with him to become the best female alien hunter.

* [[File:Kamui Episode 326.jpeg|thumb|Kamui fainted on his sister's lap after their battle in Rakuyou.]]'''[[Kamui]]:''' Her older brother. She calls her brother '''Baka-Aniki''' (a.k.a. stupid older brother). She hates him for leaving their mother bedridden but actually cares for him very much. In [[Episode 146]], Umibouzu highlighted that Kagura, in spite of saying she hates Kamui, wanted to save him from his destructiveness. He was also her primary opponent before their final fight (Everyone vs Kamui). For their background and relationship progression, Kamui took care of her since she was a baby when their mother fell ill. He once saw nothing but a weakling in Kagura and even intended to kill her, telling her that he has no interest in weaklings. But he still told Gintoki to take care of her so she would grow "stronger". Even though he acted as he didn't care for her, deep inside his heart, he still does. This could be seen by him many times passing the opportunity to kill Kagura (even saving her in the Shogun Assasination arc) and before his battle with Gintoki in Rakuyou, asking Shinpachi if they're trying to "force" him to destroy his sister's new home, showing that he does indeed care for her happiness. After Gintoki managed to make Kamui remember his true self during their battle in Rakuyou, his care for Kagura became even clearer, showing hesitation when he wanted to punch Kagura out of the way for protecting Gintoki and with Abuto commenting the actual reason why Kamui lost control of his Yato blood was because he was running away from the pain of being punched by his dad and for punching his little sister, indicating that even after all his actions he still cares for them. Kamui had also admitted that Kagura always reminds him of their mother, which is also the reason why he had always refused to face her. He then saved Kagura three times in Silver Soul Arc with a risk of his life. He had also teached Kagura how to manipulate Qiqong during the 2 years gap between Silver Soul arc and The Final Movie (something that, unfortunately, didn't make it into the anime or movie). With the ability to manipulate Qiqong, Kamui and Kagura can now both control their lifespan and, possibly, attained immortality (or at least a longer lifespan than most other people). Umibouzu stated that the reason he teached Kagura Qiqong, was so he could save her. Kamui also visit Kagura sometimes, as seen from a Drama CD, when he visited Otose's bar to ask how his sister is doing.

* '''[[Sakata Gintoki]]:''' Their relationship seems to be more like that of a "father-daughter kind" even though it isn't really nothing that simple. She greatly admires the man she calls "Gin-chan" and has picked up several of Gintoki's habits such as laziness and picking her nose. She wanted to wean Gintoki off strawberry milk in [[Episode 58]]. They do many different gags together and are usually partners in crime. As the series progresses, it could even be said that Kagura is a mini Gintoki.

As the series progresses, it could even be said that Kagura is a mini Gintoki as stated often by Shinpachi. She also refers to Gintoki as her earth dad.
* '''[[Shimura Shinpachi]]:''' Shinpachi is like a brother to Kagura, although Kagura is often not polite to him and even bullies him. However in Yoshiwara Arc when Shinpachi was going to die, Kagura's true powers and abilities were  awakened and Shinpachi's voice reached her mind, stopping her frenzied attacks.
+
* '''[[Shimura Shinpachi]]:''' [[File:Kagura in pink.jpg|thumb|[[Episode 203]]]] Shinpachi is close to Kagura, although Kagura is often not polite to him and even bullies him mercilessly. They have a "older brother/little sister" relationship. Kagura refers to him simply as "Shinpachi" though has often referred to him as Patsuan, similar to Gintoki. Kagura cares for him to the point that when he was getting beaten to death in Yoshiwara, it awakened her hidden Yato strength, though Shinpachi did eventually calm her down.
* '''[[Sadaharu]]:''' This Sadaharu is actually the 27th Sadaharu of pets she ever had. Since her another 27 (there's Sadaharu 28, 'killed' by Sougo) has been dead, she badly treasures Sadaharu #27. She also likes [[Sadaharu]], the Yorozuya pet and mascot, and while [[Gintoki]] and [[Shinpachi]] always seem to have a hard time controlling him, she does it with ease, something that may have to do with her gargantuan strength.

* '''[[Sadaharu]]:''' [[File:Gintama Episode 10.png|thumb|Kagura adopt Sadaharu in [[Episode 10]]]] This Sadaharu is actually the 27th Sadaharu pet she ever had. Since her other 27 (plus [[Sadaharu 28 定春28号|Sadaharu 28]], 'killed' by Sougo) has died, she treasures Sadaharu #27 a lot. She adores the current Sadaharu very much, to the point of going everywhere with him and she is seen cuddling with the dog whenever she feels upset. [[Gintoki]] and [[Shinpachi]] always seem to have a hard time controlling him, but she does it with ease because of Sadaharu's special affection for her and also due to her own strength.
* '''[[Shimura Tae]]:''' If Shinpachi is like a brother, then Otae is like a big sister for her. Kagura respects (and is scared of) Otae as she calls Otae "Anego" (a term usually used by gangsters to women whom they respect). Like many other characters in Gintama, she fears her cookings above all else.

Kagura respects Otae very much, calling Otae "Anego" (a term usually used by gangsters to women they respect). She greatly respects her, and also fears her cooking.
  +
*[[Okita Sougo|'''Okita Sougo''']]: Though the two are rivals, they still begrudgingly respect each other. Whenever they encounter each other, they usually fight or compete over anything, though it is normally Okita who instigates those fights (as seen in the Beetle arc). Kagura refers to him as a 'Super Sadist.' When the two are simultaneously angry, Sougo's blue aura and Kagura's red aura combine and become purple (as seen in the Beetle and the Carnival arc). In the Rengokukan arc, Kagura remarks, "that guy (Okita) definitely likes me," though this is never confirmed nor denied. Kagura is the second known female character who Sougo apologizes to (during the Vacation arc), the first being his sister (Mitsuba). She showed appreciation for his protecting Soyo from her 'bothersome idiot' of a brother, and for inflicting an injury on Kamui which she would later use to her advantage during their fight. During the Farewell Shinsengumi arc, she encouraged him when he was feeling down, hiding her good intentions behind casual insults. When saying goodbye at the end of the arc, they both tell each other to not lose to anybody else. As stated by Shinpachi, the two do actually get along quite well, and despite their ongoing rivalry towards each other, they seem to have a sense of camaraderie.[[File:Kagura, Shinpachi and Sougo Episode 20.jpg|thumb|left|Kagura and Sougo fighting in [[Episode 20]]]]After two years, kagura (little) meets Okita Sougo again, welcoming little kagura (introducing herself as her daughter) with a bittersweet fight by saying to Kagura little who always did it with her mother referring to a small rivalry, when Kagura returns to her normal form saying "Hello, welcome" with a smile sadistic.
* '''[[Okita Sougo]]:''' They can be viewed as rivals, but are still friends. After the Cherry Blossom party, they would fight whenever they had a chance. she calls him 'Super Sadist'. In Yagyuu arc when Kagura's in danger, he saves her as he said only he is allowed to beat her and in Rokkaku arc when Kagura was shot on the leg being chased by a group of terrorist, Okita helped her escaped as he covered up for her. Kagura is second known female Gintama characters (beside Mitsuba) Sougo apologizing to.

*[[Hijikata Toushirou|'''Hijikata Toushirou''']]: Imitating Gintoki, Kagura always appears to humiliate Hijikata and refer to him as Mayo addict and sometimes Toushi. She was also saved by Hijikata from Gaimon in episode 301 and called him "Toushi!l in a cute tone but then Hijikata got flustered saying who are you calling toushi?!

  +
* [[Tsukuyo|'''Tsukuyo''']]: Kagura came to care for Tsukuyo and vice versa the moment it's revealed that Tsukuyo's actually on their side against Hosen in order to protect Seita. In the Red Spider arc, Kagura is the one who nicknamed her Tsukki and shows adoration for the older woman. Sometimes Tsukuyo acts more of an older sister like in the Swimming Pool episode with Shinpachi and Seita. Other times their bond is shown through their womanhood like in the Courtesan of a Nation arc.

They maintain this enmity during the Rakuyou arc though do work together when their interests overlapped.
  +
*'''[[Abuto]]:''' A fellow Yato clansman. She and Shinpachi fought against the Yato veteran who clearly overpowered them. When Shinpachi was almost killed by Abuto, Kagura lost all her sanity which led her to surrender herself to Yato's destructive nature. Her "awakened" state allowed her to defeat Abuto. He also noted that Kagura was also capable of defeating Hosen. They met briefly again during the Shogun Assassination arc, and eventually joined forces in the fight against Utsuro. After Kagura and Kamui reconcile in the Rakyou arc, Abuto treats her no longer as an enemy, but as a fellow Yato, and is shown alongside Kamui and the 7th Division in protecting her from the Liberation Army’s Yato when they tried to kill her.

A dangerous parasitic alien grabs Kagura and pulls her in, so she grabs Gintoki and Shinpachi so they'll all be eaten, but they're saved... by [[Umibozu]]. A father that has been always monster-hunter on other worlds, and now wants to take her back to an empty home. Kagura objects vehemenantly, saying, "Papi does what he wants, I'll also do what I want. I came to Earth of my own accord, I'll leave of my own accord." Her father insists she leave with him, and their building-destroying fight ensues. But once Gintoki tells her leave, Kagura loses heart to continue fighting.

In the popularity poll, Kagura got #6. The plot centers around someone sabotaging those of higher rank for personal gain.  The first time we see Kagura during this arc is in a warehouse (?) where the higher ranked characters were hiding. There is one scene where she is threatening to kill Sogo. 
 
   
  +
Shinpachi goes to the Yorozuya and finds Kagura there waiting for Gintoki to come home. He feels that Gintoki's memory tree has withered and their existence is like a small branch of the tree, not being able to rustle Gintoki's memories. But Kagura believes that even if she is just one branch in his memory tree, she will still cling and believe in him. After that Shinpachi joins her and wait together for Gintoki's return, but Kagura hits him hard as Shinpachi eats her sukonbu.
All of the higher ranked characters try to hide in a hotel which is owned by a friend of Gintoki's. They feign cooperation but are actually still out to get each other. Shinpachi runs in to warn the others about the invaders, which consisted of Otae, Tsukuyo, Kyubei, and Sacchan, and had named themselves "Diamond Perfume." However, Okita catches Shinpachi and thinks he is turning on them, as Hasegawa is hanging tied up and naked from the ceiling. Gintoki rescues Pachi by pulling down Sogo's pants, then Kondo pulls Gintoki's, and Kagura comes in and pulls down Kondo's. Soon after, Diamond Perfume arrives and Kagura quickly switches sides and joins them, bringing all of the ladies' ranks up to 6 with hers. It turns into a mess with girls vs. guys, and Kagura's opponent is Sogo.

The perpetrator of the whole event turns out to be Yamazaki. Shinpachi and Yamazaki eventually come to terms with their rankings, and then the "gods" grants them both with #1. The rest of the characters pretend to rejoice this, but then throw both of them off the side of the building.

Kagura picks up the phone and falls into a scam, believing that Gintoki is in trouble after hitting a pregnant woman. She goes to the bank and throws rice (a pun on the phrase “deposit money” in Japanese) owing to her misunderstanding of what was said on the phone. Unfortunately, an alien attacks her there. As Gintoki and Shinpachi learn that Kagura is being scammed, they go to the bank to retrieve Kagura, just to see her being attacked.
This arc starts off with Sogo buying cakes, then getting stabbed by a girl on the street who claims she is avenging her father's death. But he had a bottle of Tabasco to block the blade, and the sauce spills over the cakes. After this, Sogo brings the girl (named Kirie) to Yorozuya to ask them to take care of her (though he mentions selling her off) and leaves them with money. As he is leaving, Kagura eats the Tabasco-laden cakes and swears she will join Kirie's quest in killing Sogo. She befriends Kirie and listens to her story.

[[File:Kagura misses her friends (1).jpg|thumb|Kagura cries upon seeing Shinpachi begging her to stay]]
  +
Upon seeing the monstrous alien, Shinpachi and Gintoki try to walk away, hoping that the monster is merely Kagura’s father and the “attack” was a weird alien greeting ritual. However, Kagura manages to struggle to the doorway and drags the two so that they are all almost devoured by the alien. [[Umibouzu]] arrives timely and save them all. Kagura greets her father, and introduces him to the other two Yorozuya. Umibouzu expresses he would like to take Kagura back with him, but Kagura objects vehemently, saying, "Papi does what he wants, I'll also do what I want. I came to Earth of my own accord, I'll leave of my own accord." Her father insists she leaves with him, and a building-destroying fight ensues.
   
  +
Yet Gintoki agrees with Umibouzu and coldly tells Kagura to leave, owing to his own security about being a guardian figure and because he thinks that Kagura belong more with her father than on Earth. Kagura is devastated and ceases to argue. As she waits with her father in the terminal, she sees Shinpachi outside yelling, asking her not to leave, bringing her to tears. However, the alien attacks again and Kagura is injured trying to protect Prince Hata and Jii. She is almost absorbed by the alien, and eventually, Gintoki comes to save her. To escape, he taunts her that he is going to eat up all sukonbu without her.
Later on, she sneaks up behind Sogo, her umbrella raised threateningly to his head, and asks him what he is hiding. She tells him to just tell Kirie to her face. But Sogo tells her that there are some things in this world that no one should no. Immediately after he says this, a group of malicious-looking men surround them, with Kirie.
 
   
  +
Being partially conscious and hungry, Kagura breaks the alien and leave with Gintoki and Umibouzu. Gintoki shares a conversation with Umibouzu after the event and gives him a letter that Kagura wrote. Eventually Umibouzu accepts the Yorozuya as the new home for Kagura and allows Kagura to stay with them. He also states that after her training on Earth is done, she can accompany him to do monster-hunting just as she always wished for. Kagura, through emotional sobs, listens just out of sight.
The next scene has Sogo, Kagura, and Kirie tied to a pillar in a dark building, with the men watching them. We find out the story from Sogo's old partner, Kamiyama. It turns out he was the one who killed him, not Sogo, but Sogo shouldered the blame because he wanted to protect what the father had tried to protect–his family. It cuts back to the captives, and the leader of the faction that captured them tries to tell Kirie that her father was really working with them, but Kagura knocks her out with a head bump before she can hear the story.

They hide behind a broken wall and Sogo tells Kagura Kirie's story, thinking Kirie was still asleep, though she was actuallly awake. Kagura is doubtful at first about Sogo's actions, but he explains himself. Then the men from the faction show up and attack. Okita covers for Kagura and tells her to run with Kirie. Reluctantly, she does so. Sogo fights until the Shinsengumi and the rest of Yorozuya show up to help. Then there is a scene of Kagura supporting a crying Kirie, comforting her.

Katsura approaches the Yorozuya as Elizabeth has gone missing. They enlist the help of Sarutobi to train them into ninjas for the job.

Katsura originally wants that color but since Kagura takes it he picks the yellow one instead.
 
 
   
  +
As red color is usually the leader of the group, Katsura refers to her as 'leader' from this event onward. Kagura and Katsura take curry into the fight and drug it with laxatives.

Their memories were altered so that they believed Kintoki was the true leader of Yorozuya from the very beginning of the anime. They couldn't recognize Gintoki anymore, so when Gintoki attacked Kintoki, they lept to defend Kintoki. But when Gintoki risked his life for a "stranger," they had to help him as well, which left them confused, and even more so when Gintoki left with a sad farewell. They confronted Kintoki in an alley, and he returned all their memories, an experience that knocked them out.

  +
  +
===[[Farewell, Shinsengumi Arc]]===
  +
News of the shogun's death saddens Kagura. She and Shinpachi watch the funeral procession from an alleyway and sees Soyo Hime. Sometime later Kagura and Sadaharu come across Okita who is surrounded by Jouishishi. She then tells Sougo that because of him, Soyo Hime, whom Sougo has protected from Kamui's group's attack, cannot eat livers and offal, and that she is preparing a feast of Okita's favorite food as thanks. Claiming that Sougo saves two girls (the other being her, through Kamui's injury in his right hand that Kagura had taken advantage of during their fight), Kagura tells him that even if he does not wear his uniform, everyone will still see Sougo (and the others) as Shinsengumi officers-- the police who saves and protects.
  +
  +
Kagura then joins the Shinsengumi-Joui-Yorozuya alliance in rescuing Kondo, Matsudaira, and Katsura. Faced with a problem scaling a cliff with no footholds, Kagura ties a rope around Sougo (and later also Hijikata) and hurls him to the cliff, embedding him halfway through. While they are being rained upon with arrows by Naraku forces from the top of the cliff, Kagura attempts to charge through, telling everyone to hide behind the safety of her umbrella. But an arrow destroyed the part she is holding on to, and Kagura falls back down. Sougo catches her, and even when Kagura shouts at him to let go or he will get injured by the arrows coming their way, Sougo refuses to do so. Later on, in retaliation to Kagura throwing him to the cliff, Sougo throws Kagura all the way up, hitting a Naraku member.
  +
  +
During Sougo's fight with Nobume, Kagura comes in between them, claiming that they both are not truly serious in their fight and that Nobume is not really a bad person. She then asks Nobume not to cry anymore and tells her she is free to live the way she wanted to, instead of forcing herself to do things she does not want to do.
  +
  +
As Nobume is about to be attacked by Utsuro, Kagura intervenes by stopping Utsuro with her umbrella. Counter-attacking, she kicks Utsuro only to be stopped by Utsuro punching her leg and kicking her away. While Sougo distracts Utsuro, she charges him from behind with Nobume and is stopped by Utsuro grabbing her parasol and throwing her away.
  +
  +
Later, she protects Gintoki during the fight against Utsuro. After retreating from their battle with Utsuro, she supports Nobume but drops her and continues to fight the oncoming Naraku. Later, as they run to the ship, she helps Sougo to again support Nobu.

  +
===[[Rakuyou Arc]]===
  +
After Shinsengumi departed, the Yorozuya goes hiding. They are informed by Nobume, Takechi and Matako that Takasugi and Bansai have gone missing since then. Kihentai and Kamui originally plan to meet in Rakuyou, which is the home-planet of Kagura. As Umibouzu is involved as well and seemingly joins forces with Utsuro, a fight between Kamui and Umibouzu seems inevitable. To stop them, Kagura leaves the Yorozuya after placing a letter on Gintoki's table and leaves with Kihentai.
  +
  +
She eats a lot when she is on the ship, much to Matako's amazement. She visits her mother's grave where she finds Umibouzu's bouquet for Kouka. Kagura and the rest of Kihentai go on to locate Takasugi, just to find him falling off a cliff. Takasugi is saved by Kamui and Kagura leaves to find her family. The Yato family meet as their past is revealed.
  +
  +
Umibouzu has a brief fight with Kamui, but is then interrupted by Utsuro and Kagura. Kagura faces Kamui she vows to stop all the fights within the family. As Umibouzu is injured by Utsuro, Kagura stops Kamui from killing her father. The rest of Yorozuya arrives as well. Kamui's Yato blood is awakened during the battle, Gintoki is forced to back off. Shinpachi and Kagura fight Kamui and with Gintoki, successfully bring Kamui back to normal. After the fight, the siblings reconciled as Kamui rest peacefully on Kagura's lap.
  +
  +
Kagura receives medical care from Kaientai. She meets Gintoki and Shinpachi on the spaceship deck. She requests to change her leave to a paid leave and is swiftly thrown into the sea by the other three. She goes back to the Earth with the Yorozuya, as Amanto from the planets Utsuro destroyed arrive in battleships and began to gather around it.

  +
  +
===[[Kagura's Boyfriend Arc]]===
  +
After receiving a love confession letter, Kagura agreed to become the girlfriend of her friend, Dai-chan. During a dinner of sekihan with Gintoki, Shinpachi, and her father, Kagura was asked if she really got a boyfriend, and Kagura answered that she decided to at least date the guy in respect to the effort he put in his letter. Both Gintoki and Kagura's father, [[Umibouzu]], protested and demanded that Kagura introduce them to her boyfriend, hoping they'd intimidate the guy away from Kagura. Much to their and Shinpachi's shock, Kagura's boyfriend turned out to be a gigantic amanto prince who intended to take Kagura back to his home planet and marry her. Kagura was surprised as she didn't know he had that kind of plan, though in her annoyance with Gintoki and Umibouzu's behavior she said she didn't mind marrying Dai. She and Dai then left for the park.
  +
  +
Not really knowing much about love and dating, Kagura said she and Dai would be just like friends, and she didn't mind if Dai fell in love with someone else as that just how love rolled. She then said that she and Dai would just have a long-distance relationship as she didn't intend to leave Earth because the people who love her, Gintoki, Umibouzu, and Shinpachi, were there. Not accepting Kagura's decision, Dai knocked her out with his breath and kidnapped her.
  +
  +
At the shogun's palace, Umibouzu and Gintoki asked Soyo-hime where Kagura and Dai often went to play. They immediately left in search of them afterward, leaving Shinpachi finding out that Dai's family had a royal tradition where they'd destroy the planet of the female they've chosen to marry in order to keep the genetic information for themselves. Mistaking Kagura for an earthling, Dai, and his race would then destroy the earth. In the middle of the impromptu wedding ceremony, Shinpachi kicked the giant priest which caused him to accidentally kiss Dai. Gintoki and Umibouzu then defeat the giant prince's guards and knock out Dai. Having woken up from her sleep by the disturbance, Kagura beat Gintoki and Umibouzu down.
  +
  +
When Prince Dai got back to his home planet, he sent Kagura a letter apologizing for his actions and saying that he learned a great deal about fathers, and in a PS he mentioned being interested in the 'father' (priest) he had at his and Kagura's disrupted wedding. Kagura wrote him back saying she still didn't know the difference between parental and romantic love, but she was still happy to have Gintoki, Shinpachi, and Umibouzu as her 'boyfriends'.
  +
  +
===[[HDZ48 Arc]]===
  +
Kagura became an idol at Terakado Tsuu's side and gave to Tsuu the bad habit of poking her nose in front of people. She fought against the leader of the Galaxy Kingdom Bitches 48 band, Bitchie. Kagura can be called the founder of the Hanakuso (snot) DiamondZ 48 band.
  +
  +
=='''Gintama Movie : Be Forever Yorozuya'''==
  +
[[File:Kagurainmovie.PNG|thumb|Kagura 5 years into the future.]]
  +
The trailer for the second Gintama movie shows a grown-up Kagura wearing a cheongsam with the designs of Gintoki's kimono and a huge umbrella as her accessory.
  +
  +
She is shown in the first section as Gintoki finds a film pirate (someone who films the movies in the theater illegally) and Gintoki gives her a "queen" film clip. This will help her memory in the end.
  +
  +
Then, once Gintoki was teleported into the future, she was shown again as a sexy adult (where Gintoki mentions his shock that someone who formerly had negative sex appeal could be so hot), and she defeats a gang with Shinpachi (also an adult).[[File:Movie2.png|thumb|Kagura and Shinpachi(movie)]]
  +
  +
She was the one who explained to Gintoki his death. Apparently, he went and disappeared for years. The last that was heard of him was that he ate something bad (a mushroom?) and then he kicked the bucket and just died or is still taking a dump for five years.
  +
  +
When Gintoki sacrificed himself (because he was the source of the white disease) so that the future would be a better place she was crying until her memory was replaced and she sat there wondering why tears were dripping from her eyes.
  +
  +
When Gintoki was in the Joui War battle, in the past, she and the rest of the crew with the future Shinsengumi and the future rebels help him defeat the enemies and the mages.
  +
  +
The movie ends with the present day, with hints that they have no memory of what happened, so the anime/manga series could go on with no change.

"This planet Earth is a star of freedom, yes? Here, it is okay to live the way you want to."

Kagura.
Qotd


Kagura (神楽?) is a member of the Yorozuya and the main female protagonist of Gintama. She is a member of the Yato Tribe, the daughter of Umibouzu and Kouka, and the younger sister of Kamui, one of the main antagonists of the series of Gintama.

Background[]

Childkagura

Young Kagura

During her childhood, Kagura lived in the slums of a faraway planet with her father, mother and older brother. At one point, her older brother injured his right arm through unknown means but he hid it from his and Kagura's mother but not Kagura. Later on, in her childhood, her older brother Kamui attempted to kill their father Umibouzu, however, he failed and only managed to cut off his father's arm. This caused Umibouzu to go berserk and he nearly killed Kamui but was stopped by Kagura. Soon after that, Umibouzu left the family. In fear that he might harm her unintentionally just like Kamui, Umibouzu left to avoid destroying his family any further [1].

While at home, Kagura was left with taking care of her sickly mother and she would wait for Umibouzu to come back from his alien-hunting work. Kagura called her mother 'Mummy' and she remembered her as a beautiful woman. Her mother died of an illness when she was very young. Knowing her brother and father weren't around, she traveled to Earth to start a new life.

Kagura had a number of pets named 'Sadaharu No. #' before the current Inugami Sadaharu came along. The previous pets all died because of her own inability to control her strength. 'Sadaharu No. 28' was the latest deceased addition in the form of a dung beetle. 'Sadaharu No.1' was a rabbit.

Appearance[]

Kagura has vermilion red hair and ocean blue eyes. She has fair skin (snow white according to Takechi Henpeita in Episode 59). She typically wears a red cheongsam with yellow piping. Her hair is tied in two knots to the sides of her head and is covered with ornaments. When outside, she's usually seen carrying a purple parasol around, which works as a protection from the sun. In the special episode 1-2 her description says that she has a cute appearance (but also a rather sharp tongue). Like all Yato her body is well developed with muscle.

Throughout the series it shows that she grows a bit, initially being 155 cm height, but then closer to the height of Shinpachi. In the Timeskip arc, however, at 16 years old, she was taller than him at 170 cm. Her hair was longer and fastened with clips. She also wore goggles. She wore a two-piece outfit that resembled a cheongsam and revealed her midriff, laced with gold. The top piece has a high collar that covered her neck.

During the events of the Dekoboko Arc, she switched genders due to a curse and was seen in her male form. In that form, she had long hair that was slicked back and she had a beard. She had a scar on her left eye and was wearing a Chinese armor. She was also much taller and had a well-built body.

During the Movie Be Forever Yorozuya, Kagura was as tall as Shinpachi and had longer hair with a bun on the right side of her head. She wears a long white cheongsam with red buttons. The bottom of the cheongsam is decorated with the pattern seen on Gintoki's yukata. Her umbrella is also bigger, almost as tall as herself.

Throughout the series, she is seen wearing various disguises for gags.

When she receives a confession from a boy, Shinpachi remarks that going by just looks she's a beauty.

[Edit this gallery]

Personality[]

Kagura can be described as naive to a fault as seen in her introduction where she was tricked by a gang into thinking that she was protecting them when she fought their rival gang. She refuses to accept her legacy as a Yato and just wants to live as a normal girl. Although she doesn't like violence, she clearly uses violence to solve her problems, Hasegawa Taizou labeled her as 'ultra-hot (tempered/aggressive) China girl'. She often quarrels with Shinpachi and Okita physically and verbally. She has a sharp tongue and isn't afraid to speak her mind or insult people even if it's to strangers. She takes in things that Gintoki says as a form of advice, oftentimes in an inappropriate context. She acts very "unladylike" in terms of the ways she speaks and things such as vomiting or picking her nose.

However, she is still a young girl who likes others to pamper her and on some occasions has shown to have a girly side. Although she acts like she doesn't care for the Yorozuya (e.g., beating up Shinpachi and Gintoki) she really does care for the Yorozuya as seen through her actions towards them such as trying to protect them when they're hurt in a fight.

She loves eating and seems to have an insatiable appetite, with a particular fondness for rice and sukonbu.

She seems to have strong 'maternal instincts' as seen in various parts of the anime, like when she wanted to breastfeed "Gin's" child in Episode 51.

Kagura also has an obsession with big breasts like Sarutobi Ayame's. She added oranges to her chest in Episode 138 when talking about the 'fleshy woman' in the photo.

In Gintama Movie: Be Forever Yorozuya, she is seen to have the personality of a tsundere. Gintoki stated that she is "using her VA (voice actor) to the fullest", a voice actor humor since Rie Kugimiya is well-known for her voicing of many tsundere characters.

Strength & Abilities[]

Kagurabeat

Episode 264

She, like other Yato, possesses natural and instinctive fighting abilities and physical strength that far surpass human capabilities. Abuto has suggested that Kagura is among the highest elite of the Yato, equal only to Kamui, Umibouzu, and Housen, meaning her abilities far exceed that of an average Yato, but her kind nature holds her back, only when she is "awakened" can she use it to her full potential.

Expert Hand-to-Hand Combatant: Due to the Yato blood running through her veins she is exceptionally strong, but can also lose control of her power and "awaken" when her friends are in serious danger.[2] Her Yato killer instincts are suppressed because she doesn't like it. However, her instincts were "awakened" in Yoshiwara Blaze arc in her battle with Abuto when he hurt Shinpachi.

Yato Mode: Kagura, in a panic, once tapped into the full potential of her Yato heritage which transformed her into a monster bent only on killing Abuto. She has no control over herself in this state and says she does not remember anything other than feeling anger. In this state, Kagura's strength and fighting ability go up tremendously enough to where she can overwhelm the Abuto, who was stronger when she was not "awakened" albeit missing an arm. For her killing blow, she drove a Naginata through his shoulder and crashed him through the wall all in one move. Kagura was only able to get out of this state because Shinpachi's words reached her and refuse to ever enter this state again as she fears she might completely lose herself to the Yato heritage within herself.

In the Benizakura arc, she has shown amazing healing abilities after Kijima Matako shot her. Kagura was able to catch the bullets with her hands and mouth.

She also carries a parasol around as protection from the sun, since the Yato species are averse to sunlight but the parasol also acts as a weapon that can fire bullets like a machine-gun.

In the Bentendo Owee chapter, her fighting ability enabled her to be the first to defeat the final boss/Maou.

During the two year time skip, she has also trained the ability to change her age at will, appearing at times as a younger version of herself, and at other points, assuming an elderly appearance.

Relationships[]

Family[]

  • Umibouzu: Her father, she feels embarrassed in his presence because of his baldness. She called Umibouzu 'Papi' and since he started balding, Hage (meaning bald-head). Kagura's dream is to travel with him to become the best female alien hunter once she is strong enough to do so.
  • Kamui Episode 326

    Kamui fainted on his sister's lap after their battle in Rakuyou.

    Kamui: Her older brother. She calls her brother Baka-Aniki (a.k.a. stupid older brother). She hates him for leaving their mother bedridden but actually cares for him very much. In Episode 146, Umibouzu highlighted that Kagura, in spite of saying she hates Kamui, wanted to save him from his destructiveness. He was also her primary opponent before their final fight (Everyone vs Kamui). For their background and relationship progression, Kamui took care of her since she was a baby when their mother fell ill. He once saw nothing but a weakling in Kagura and even intended to kill her, telling her that he has no interest in weaklings. But he still told Gintoki to take care of her so she would grow "stronger". Even though he acted as he didn't care for her, deep inside his heart, he still does. This could be seen by him many times passing the opportunity to kill Kagura (even saving her in the Shogun Assasination arc) and before his battle with Gintoki in Rakuyou, asking Shinpachi if they're trying to "force" him to destroy his sister's new home, showing that he does indeed care for her happiness. After Gintoki managed to make Kamui remember his true self during their battle in Rakuyou, his care for Kagura became even clearer, showing hesitation when he wanted to punch Kagura out of the way for protecting Gintoki and with Abuto commenting the actual reason why Kamui lost control of his Yato blood was because he was running away from the pain of being punched by his dad and for punching his little sister, indicating that even after all his actions he still cares for them. Kamui had also admitted that Kagura always reminds him of their mother, which is also the reason why he had always refused to face her. He then saved Kagura three times in Silver Soul Arc with a risk of his life. He had also teached Kagura how to manipulate Qiqong during the 2 years gap between Silver Soul arc and The Final Movie (something that, unfortunately, didn't make it into the anime or movie). With the ability to manipulate Qiqong, Kamui and Kagura can now both control their lifespan and, possibly, attained immortality (or at least a longer lifespan than most other people). Umibouzu stated that the reason he teached Kagura Qiqong, was so he could save her. Kamui also visit Kagura sometimes, as seen from a Drama CD, when he visited Otose's bar to ask how his sister is doing.
  • Kouka: Her deceased mother who she shows a tremendous amount of respect to. She calls her 'Mami' in co-ordinance with 'Papi', which she called her father. Not much is known about her except for her combat skills shown in Lesson 579 alongside Kankou, now Umibouzu, whilst the pursuit to woo her and tame the Orochies in the Yato home planet, Kounan.

Friend & Allies[]

  • Sakata Gintoki:
    Gintama Episode 21B

    Kagura and Gintoki are fighting over a electric fan in Episode 21

    Their relationship seems to be of a "father/daughter" or "older brother/little sister" relationship. She greatly admires the man she calls "Gin-chan" and has picked up several of Gintoki's habits such as picking her nose. They do many different gags together and are usually partners in crime. As the series progresses, it could even be said that Kagura is a mini Gintoki as stated often by Shinpachi. She also refers to Gintoki as her earth dad.
  • Shimura Shinpachi:
    Kagura in pink

    Episode 203

    Shinpachi is close to Kagura, although Kagura is often not polite to him and even bullies him mercilessly. They have a "older brother/little sister" relationship. Kagura refers to him simply as "Shinpachi" though has often referred to him as Patsuan, similar to Gintoki. Kagura cares for him to the point that when he was getting beaten to death in Yoshiwara, it awakened her hidden Yato strength, though Shinpachi did eventually calm her down.
  • Sadaharu:
    Gintama Episode 10

    Kagura adopt Sadaharu in Episode 10

    This Sadaharu is actually the 27th Sadaharu pet she ever had. Since her other 27 (plus Sadaharu 28, 'killed' by Sougo) has died, she treasures Sadaharu #27 a lot. She adores the current Sadaharu very much, to the point of going everywhere with him and she is seen cuddling with the dog whenever she feels upset. Gintoki and Shinpachi always seem to have a hard time controlling him, but she does it with ease because of Sadaharu's special affection for her and also due to her own strength.
  • Shimura Tae:
    Tae and Kagura Episode 184

    Kagura hugging Otae in Episode 184

    Otae is like a big sister to Kagura. Kagura respects Otae very much, calling Otae "Anego" (a term usually used by gangsters to women they respect). She greatly respects her, and also fears her cooking.
  • Okita Sougo: Though the two are rivals, they still begrudgingly respect each other. Whenever they encounter each other, they usually fight or compete over anything, though it is normally Okita who instigates those fights (as seen in the Beetle arc). Kagura refers to him as a 'Super Sadist.' When the two are simultaneously angry, Sougo's blue aura and Kagura's red aura combine and become purple (as seen in the Beetle and the Carnival arc). In the Rengokukan arc, Kagura remarks, "that guy (Okita) definitely likes me," though this is never confirmed nor denied. Kagura is the second known female character who Sougo apologizes to (during the Vacation arc), the first being his sister (Mitsuba). She showed appreciation for his protecting Soyo from her 'bothersome idiot' of a brother, and for inflicting an injury on Kamui which she would later use to her advantage during their fight. During the Farewell Shinsengumi arc, she encouraged him when he was feeling down, hiding her good intentions behind casual insults. When saying goodbye at the end of the arc, they both tell each other to not lose to anybody else. As stated by Shinpachi, the two do actually get along quite well, and despite their ongoing rivalry towards each other, they seem to have a sense of camaraderie.
    Kagura, Shinpachi and Sougo Episode 20

    Kagura and Sougo fighting in Episode 20

    After two years, kagura (little) meets Okita Sougo again, welcoming little kagura (introducing herself as her daughter) with a bittersweet fight by saying to Kagura little who always did it with her mother referring to a small rivalry, when Kagura returns to her normal form saying "Hello, welcome" with a smile sadistic.
  • Hijikata Toushirou: Imitating Gintoki, Kagura always appears to humiliate Hijikata and refer to him as Mayo addict and sometimes Toushi. She was also saved by Hijikata from Gaimon in episode 301 and called him "Toushi!l in a cute tone but then Hijikata got flustered saying who are you calling toushi?!
  • Hasegawa Taizou: Kagura was the one who gave Hasegawa the name MADAO.
  • Soyo Hime:
    Kagura and Soyo Episode 307

    Kagura and Soyo are hugging in Episode 307

    She's the one who introduced Soyo to her favorite food Sukonbu. Kagura helps her 'be a normal girl' for a day, dealing with the Shinsengumi, and taking a purikura with her. They remained on good terms since Soyo helped them get inside the castle during the Ikokku Keisei arc. Together with Imai Nobume, the three are called the "Sadistic Sisterhood Three" by Shinpachi.
  • Tsukuyo: Kagura came to care for Tsukuyo and vice versa the moment it's revealed that Tsukuyo's actually on their side against Hosen in order to protect Seita. In the Red Spider arc, Kagura is the one who nicknamed her Tsukki and shows adoration for the older woman. Sometimes Tsukuyo acts more of an older sister like in the Swimming Pool episode with Shinpachi and Seita.

He also noted that Kagura was also capable of defeating Hosen. They met briefly again during the Shogun Assassination arc, and eventually joined forces in the fight against Utsuro.

He feels that Gintoki's memory tree has withered and their existence is like a small branch of the tree, not being able to rustle Gintoki's memories.

Kagura cries upon seeing Shinpachi begging her to stay

Upon seeing the monstrous alien, Shinpachi and Gintoki try to walk away, hoping that the monster is merely Kagura’s father and the “attack” was a weird alien greeting ritual.

Kagura greets her father, and introduces him to the other two Yorozuya. Umibouzu expresses he would like to take Kagura back with him, but Kagura objects vehemently, saying, "Papi does what he wants, I'll also do what I want. I came to Earth of my own accord, I'll leave of my own accord." Her father insists she leaves with him, and a building-destroying fight ensues.

Yet Gintoki agrees with Umibouzu and coldly tells Kagura to leave, owing to his own security about being a guardian figure and because he thinks that Kagura belong more with her father than on Earth. Kagura is devastated and ceases to argue. As she waits with her father in the terminal, she sees Shinpachi outside yelling, asking her not to leave, bringing her to tears. However, the alien attacks again and Kagura is injured trying to protect Prince Hata and Jii. She is almost absorbed by the alien, and eventually, Gintoki comes to save her. To escape, he taunts her that he is going to eat up all sukonbu without her.

Being partially conscious and hungry, Kagura breaks the alien and leave with Gintoki and Umibouzu. Gintoki shares a conversation with Umibouzu after the event and gives him a letter that Kagura wrote. Eventually Umibouzu accepts the Yorozuya as the new home for Kagura and allows Kagura to stay with them.

Katsura originally wants that color but since Kagura takes it he picks the yellow one instead.

As red color is usually the leader of the group, Katsura refers to her as 'leader' from this event onward. Kagura and Katsura take curry into the fight and drug it with laxatives.

After the incident, Kagura continues to train in the dojo and defeats quite a number of disciples.

Feigned Illness Arc[]

During a mission under extreme heat, Gintoki takes away Kagura's umbrella to get himself some shades. As Kagura gets dehydrated and dozes off, Shinpachi and Gintoki send her to a hospital. During her hospitalization, she deliberately feigns her illness so that she can get all the care and love. While she is very happy with her act as many others start to show up, she gets too over that makes every one thinking she is going to die.

Except for Okita Sougo, who sees through her tricks but plays on and puts her in a difficult position. She continues her pretension of grave sickness and sees no way out as Okita is blocking every chance available. It reaches a point in which Kagura actually 'dies' and a nation-wide funeral is held as Kagura is Soyo's best friend. Everyone attends the funeral and Kagura is found to be alive by Shinpachi and Gintoki during the process.

As things will get out of control if Kagura is found alive at that juncture, the two are forced to continue with the funeral. Their plan foils eventually, which gets them chased by the angry crowd. As the Yorozuya gets into great trouble, Okita and Soyo watch this in a distance, seemingly enjoying how it turns out in the end.

During an ambush by Iga ninja, Kagura is pulled down to the ground up to her neck by Fujibayashi Gaimon, one of Iga's leaders. She is saved from having her head crushed by Hijikata who sliced off Fujibayashi's leg.

Later on, at Iga, she and Gintoki and Shinpachi run away with the shogun Tokugawa Shige Shige to safety but are ambushed by a group of Yato leads by Abuto. They are soon joined by Kondou, Hijikata, and Momochi Rappa, and eventually separated from them so they can bring the shogun to a hidden passageway. At the passageway's location, she and Gintoki attack Kamui and Takasugi respectively, and Kagura faces off with Kamui. Kamui underestimates Kagura, and Kagura does not give up. Their fight is cut short, however, when Naraku forces arrive and attack them. She and Kamui fight back and return to the bloodied Gintoki and Takasugi. Kagura picks up Gintoki to bring him to safety while Kamui does the same for Takasugi.

She then receives a letter from Soyo Hime saying they are safe and that her brother still has friends and allies...while Shige Shige is poisoned by one of his previous comrades.

Farewell, Shinsengumi Arc[]

News of the shogun's death saddens Kagura. She and Shinpachi watch the funeral procession from an alleyway and sees Soyo Hime. Sometime later Kagura and Sadaharu come across Okita who is surrounded by Jouishishi. She then tells Sougo that because of him, Soyo Hime, whom Sougo has protected from Kamui's group's attack, cannot eat livers and offal, and that she is preparing a feast of Okita's favorite food as thanks. Claiming that Sougo saves two girls (the other being her, through Kamui's injury in his right hand that Kagura had taken advantage of during their fight), Kagura tells him that even if he does not wear his uniform, everyone will still see Sougo (and the others) as Shinsengumi officers-- the police who saves and protects.

Kagura then joins the Shinsengumi-Joui-Yorozuya alliance in rescuing Kondo, Matsudaira, and Katsura. Faced with a problem scaling a cliff with no footholds, Kagura ties a rope around Sougo (and later also Hijikata) and hurls him to the cliff, embedding him halfway through. While they are being rained upon with arrows by Naraku forces from the top of the cliff, Kagura attempts to charge through, telling everyone to hide behind the safety of her umbrella. But an arrow destroyed the part she is holding on to, and Kagura falls back down. Sougo catches her, and even when Kagura shouts at him to let go or he will get injured by the arrows coming their way, Sougo refuses to do so. Later on, in retaliation to Kagura throwing him to the cliff, Sougo throws Kagura all the way up, hitting a Naraku member.

During Sougo's fight with Nobume, Kagura comes in between them, claiming that they both are not truly serious in their fight and that Nobume is not really a bad person. She then asks Nobume not to cry anymore and tells her she is free to live the way she wanted to, instead of forcing herself to do things she does not want to do.

As Nobume is about to be attacked by Utsuro, Kagura intervenes by stopping Utsuro with her umbrella. Counter-attacking, she kicks Utsuro only to be stopped by Utsuro punching her leg and kicking her away. While Sougo distracts Utsuro, she charges him from behind with Nobume and is stopped by Utsuro grabbing her parasol and throwing her away.

Later, she protects Gintoki during the fight against Utsuro. After retreating from their battle with Utsuro, she supports Nobume but drops her and continues to fight the oncoming Naraku. Later, as they run to the ship, she helps Sougo to again support Nobu.

Love Potion Arc[]

Kagura is affected by the love potion and falls in love with Shinpachi's glasses. The effect is transient, she and Shinpachi later on aids Gintoki to fire the antidote to the affected people. After the event, she and Shinpachi help Hotaru to meet her lover.

Rakuyou Arc[]

After Shinsengumi departed, the Yorozuya goes hiding. They are informed by Nobume, Takechi and Matako that Takasugi and Bansai have gone missing since then. Kihentai and Kamui originally plan to meet in Rakuyou, which is the home-planet of Kagura. As Umibouzu is involved as well and seemingly joins forces with Utsuro, a fight between Kamui and Umibouzu seems inevitable. To stop them, Kagura leaves the Yorozuya after placing a letter on Gintoki's table and leaves with Kihentai.

She eats a lot when she is on the ship, much to Matako's amazement. She visits her mother's grave where she finds Umibouzu's bouquet for Kouka. Kagura and the rest of Kihentai go on to locate Takasugi, just to find him falling off a cliff. Takasugi is saved by Kamui and Kagura leaves to find her family. The Yato family meet as their past is revealed.

Umibouzu has a brief fight with Kamui, but is then interrupted by Utsuro and Kagura. Kagura faces Kamui she vows to stop all the fights within the family. As Umibouzu is injured by Utsuro, Kagura stops Kamui from killing her father. The rest of Yorozuya arrives as well. Kamui's Yato blood is awakened during the battle, Gintoki is forced to back off. Shinpachi and Kagura fight Kamui and with Gintoki, successfully bring Kamui back to normal. After the fight, the siblings reconciled as Kamui rest peacefully on Kagura's lap.

Kagura receives medical care from Kaientai. She meets Gintoki and Shinpachi on the spaceship deck. She requests to change her leave to a paid leave and is swiftly thrown into the sea by the other three. She goes back to the Earth with the Yorozuya, as Amanto from the planets Utsuro destroyed arrive in battleships and began to gather around it.

Silver Soul Arc[]

Before leaving the spaceship, she adds a lot of strange sauces onto Nobu Nobu's meal, making him extremely unwell before his negotiation with the Amanto alliance.

Following her Yato instincts, she was able to find Gengai who was captured by another Yato tribe. Together with Kamui who followed her later on, they defeated the leader while Abuto and the others fought with the lackeys.

Kagura's Boyfriend Arc[]

After receiving a love confession letter, Kagura agreed to become the girlfriend of her friend, Dai-chan. During a dinner of sekihan with Gintoki, Shinpachi, and her father, Kagura was asked if she really got a boyfriend, and Kagura answered that she decided to at least date the guy in respect to the effort he put in his letter. Both Gintoki and Kagura's father, Umibouzu, protested and demanded that Kagura introduce them to her boyfriend, hoping they'd intimidate the guy away from Kagura. Much to their and Shinpachi's shock, Kagura's boyfriend turned out to be a gigantic amanto prince who intended to take Kagura back to his home planet and marry her. Kagura was surprised as she didn't know he had that kind of plan, though in her annoyance with Gintoki and Umibouzu's behavior she said she didn't mind marrying Dai. She and Dai then left for the park.

Not really knowing much about love and dating, Kagura said she and Dai would be just like friends, and she didn't mind if Dai fell in love with someone else as that just how love rolled. She then said that she and Dai would just have a long-distance relationship as she didn't intend to leave Earth because the people who love her, Gintoki, Umibouzu, and Shinpachi, were there. Not accepting Kagura's decision, Dai knocked her out with his breath and kidnapped her.

At the shogun's palace, Umibouzu and Gintoki asked Soyo-hime where Kagura and Dai often went to play. They immediately left in search of them afterward, leaving Shinpachi finding out that Dai's family had a royal tradition where they'd destroy the planet of the female they've chosen to marry in order to keep the genetic information for themselves. Mistaking Kagura for an earthling, Dai, and his race would then destroy the earth. In the middle of the impromptu wedding ceremony, Shinpachi kicked the giant priest which caused him to accidentally kiss Dai. Gintoki and Umibouzu then defeat the giant prince's guards and knock out Dai. Having woken up from her sleep by the disturbance, Kagura beat Gintoki and Umibouzu down.

When Prince Dai got back to his home planet, he sent Kagura a letter apologizing for his actions and saying that he learned a great deal about fathers, and in a PS he mentioned being interested in the 'father' (priest) he had at his and Kagura's disrupted wedding. Kagura wrote him back saying she still didn't know the difference between parental and romantic love, but she was still happy to have Gintoki, Shinpachi, and Umibouzu as her 'boyfriends'.

HDZ48 Arc[]

Kagura became an idol at Terakado Tsuu's side and gave to Tsuu the bad habit of poking her nose in front of people. She fought against the leader of the Galaxy Kingdom Bitches 48 band, Bitchie. Kagura can be called the founder of the Hanakuso (snot) DiamondZ 48 band.

Gintama Movie : Be Forever Yorozuya[]

Kagurainmovie

Kagura 5 years into the future.

The trailer for the second Gintama movie shows a grown-up Kagura wearing a cheongsam with the designs of Gintoki's kimono and a huge umbrella as her accessory.

She is shown in the first section as Gintoki finds a film pirate (someone who films the movies in the theater illegally) and Gintoki gives her a "queen" film clip. This will help her memory in the end.

Then, once Gintoki was teleported into the future, she was shown again as a sexy adult (where Gintoki mentions his shock that someone who formerly had negative sex appeal could be so hot), and she defeats a gang with Shinpachi (also an adult).

Movie2

Kagura and Shinpachi(movie)

She was the one who explained to Gintoki his death. Apparently, he went and disappeared for years. The last that was heard of him was that he ate something bad (a mushroom?) and then he kicked the bucket and just died or is still taking a dump for five years.

When Gintoki sacrificed himself (because he was the source of the white disease) so that the future would be a better place she was crying until her memory was replaced and she sat there wondering why tears were dripping from her eyes.

When Gintoki was in the Joui War battle, in the past, she and the rest of the crew with the future Shinsengumi and the future rebels help him defeat the enemies and the mages.

The movie ends with the present day, with hints that they have no memory of what happened, so the anime/manga series could go on with no change.
