Introduction
|
| Yato Tribe |
Yato (夜兎) literally means 'Night Rabbit', but the character of this tribe is far from being rabbit-like.
Amongst the Yato characters that appear in Gintama, only 3 are related by blood: Umibouzu is the father of older son Kamui and younger daughter Kagura.
Etymology
Like other names in Gintama (such as Shinsengumi), Yato can be traced back to an existing word Yato 野兎 meaning 'Wild Rabbit'. Note the replaced syllable uses the kanji for Night, which is also found in Yasha (夜叉).
Biology
The Yato Tribe (夜兎族) looks exactly like humans but they have both good qualities and bad.
They are known as blood-thirsty Amantos whose killing instincts and insatiable hunger for supremacy leads them to keep on seeking out the best fighters in order to challenge them, even among their own kind. Their amazing fighting abilities and tremendous physical strength also means that they are very difficult to defeat.
They also known to have amazing regenerative healing properties. Also they are known to be gluttonous as shown by Kamui and Kagura.
Their only known Achilles heel is their inability to adapt to sunlight, which was what killed Housen eventually in Episode 146. This explains why they have pale skin color.
History
Housen was the king of the Yato race also known as "King of the Night" due to him being the strongest Yato and conquering other Yato. He encounters another strong Yato called Umibouzu but he refuse to submit to Housen. Both Umibouzu and Housen once fought each other continuously for 3 days, the only reason they stopped fighting was because Umibouzu needed a toilet break, and no victor was declared.
The Yato race would join the Harusame and Housen founded and lead the 7th division, Kamui now holds Housen's position. Kamui and Housen used to have a master-and-disciple relationship, which has since broken down due to Kamui's ambition to defeat Housen who along with Umibouzu , were known as the most powerful Yatos. Though still a teenager by all accounts, Kamui's spectacular fighting abilities has elevated him to the rank of Captain of the 7th Division of Harusame's Thunder Guns 春雨の雷槍 the most powerful combat unit with the Harusame group. The 2 followers who tagged along with him to Yoshiwara are Abuto and Ungyou.
Culture
There was an old tradition where the son would challenge their father to the death but this tradition has been thrown away due to the dangerous decline of the species. Kamui tried to revive this tradition by trying to kill his father.
Due to their weakness to the sun, they always carry an umbrella or are fully wrapped up whenever they appear in daylight. Their umbrellas are their main weapon in combat.
The Yato clothing are based on traditional chinese clothing.
