It took me awhile to get into Gintama, with school and work distracting me from catching up on the insane shounen manga-amount of chapters/episodes there are...but when I did I was completely hooked. As a character, Gintoki inspired me the way Kamina from TTGL did a lot of people. Okay, that was lame. Nevertheless, I really loved cosplaying him.
I made this in 2-3 days in quite a rush, so there's a lot I'd like to fix up...namely the appliqué and getting a boken- I didn't want to risk dragging one over the border for Otakon.
