Gintama mode draws on 5 characters and every one of them is listed for 2006, so the year tile is dead weight on this board and the solve has to come from visual clues and process of elimination.

The pool splits 4 male to 1 female, so a gender match usually removes about 4 of the 5 candidates in one go.

White hair is the tightest visual filter here, belonging to only 1 of the 5, while black hair is the broadest group with 3.

On eyes, red is the rarest tag (1 character) and blue is the most common (2).

Kotaro Katsura and Shinpachi Shimura agree on 4 of the five clue traits, and that pair is what decides most failed runs in this mode.

If you only memorise one character first, make it Gintoki Sakata — it carries the most distinctive clue profile in the Gintama pool.

Why these characters matter

The anchors worth learning first are the ones with the fewest lookalikes. Gintama has 5 characters, all listed for 2006, where white hair appears on only 1 of them, while black covers 3 — so a distinctive hair colour is often enough to locate the right cluster.

Learn Gintoki Sakata first, then the candidate it is most often confused with: Kotaro Katsura and Shinpachi Shimura agree on 4 of the five clue traits. That one comparison removes the most common failure in Gintama mode.
