“	Utsuro. Yoshida Shouyo. I’m both of those and neither at the same time. One that has lived within this body for so long, I’ve forgotten my very name. No, maybe I never had a name to begin with. I was only showered with endless insults and hostility. And the only name I remember is… Devil.	„
	~ Utsuro on his hardship-ridden life and enigmatic origins.

Utsuro is the overall main antagonist of the manga and anime series, Gintama. He is the founder and first leader of the Tenshouin Naraku before Oboro took his position and the original identity and self of Yoshida Shouyou and now part of the Tendoshu.

Appearance

Utsuro is usually shown wearing a dark-green cape with feathers on the shoulders and the mask of the Yatagarasu. In contrast to Shouyou, he's wearing his hair laid back and has red eyes filled with emptiness. Just like all Naraku assassins, he's carrying a shakujō with a hidden blade inside. The tsuba of his blade has the form of the manji.

Personality

Utsuro is a very remorseless, fearsome, cruel and sadistic psychopath who lacks empathy and compassion. Utsuro loves death, agony, and destruction, as he shows enjoyment of killing people and annihilating entire villages for no reason.

Goals

Utsuro's one true goal is to end his immortality by destroying the world and turn the universe into nothingness.
