The story takes place in
Edo (known today as
Tokyo because of the name change in 1868),
Japan, which has been taken over by aliens called
Amanto since the late
Edo period. The
samurai of Japan have fallen, and the Amanto placed a ban on carrying swords in public. The story focuses on an eccentric samurai, Gintoki Sakata, his (partial) apprentice Shinpachi Shimura, and a teenage alien girl: Kagura. All three are "free-lancers" who search for work in order to pay the monthly rent, which usually goes unpaid anyway. (click to see more episodes of Gintama).
