Edo was a city that was once the birthplace of the vitality and ambition of samurai across the country. However, after the surrender of feudal Japan to powerful aliens known as "Amanto", those aspirations now seem impossible to realize. With the once-influential shogunate rebuilt into a puppet government, a new law was quickly passed banning all types of swords in public. Enter Gintoki Sakata, an eccentric platinum-haired man who always carries a wooden sword and maintains the status of a samurai despite the ban. As the founder of Yorozuya, a small business that specializes in running odd jobs, Gintoki often embarks on an effort to help others — though often in rather strange and unforeseen ways.
Assisted by Shinpachi Shimura, a bespectacled boy who is said to be learning the ways of samurai; Kagura, a tomboy girl with superhuman strength and endless gluttony; and Sadaharu, their giant pet dog who likes to bite people in the head, Yorozuya encounters anything from alien royalty to brawls with local gangs in the ever-changing world of Edo.
