New Character Profiles

[Camille]

Since the "New to Gintama" thread is old, and Gin doesn't look like he'll update the character list, I'll do it

The Shinsengumi

http://cdimg3.crunchyroll.com/i/spire2/06132008/6/8/7/6/687657ad6f9100_full.jpg


The badass police, tax-robbers, and protectors of the Shogunate. The Shinsengumi in Gintama is based off on the historical special police force of the Shogunate in the late Edo period.
