In the end, she decides to live as "Kyuubei", disregarding femininity and masculinity. The Dekoboko Arc shows that Kyuubei was not sure whether she should live as a man or as a woman, due to having grown up as a man and struggling with her gender. Despite this, however, she still holds a special interest in her, and is very protective of her.ĭespite her attitude, Kyuubei is shown having a case of Androphobia, as she tends to panic and violently fend off men when having physical contact with them. She tried to marry her, but gave up the thought after the Yagyuu arc. After Kyuubei and her group were defeated by Shinpachi's group in the same arc, Kyuubei is shown to have become softer, and at times, shown to have a feminine side. However, when she caught Gintoki's hand when she was about to fall off the spaceship during the Goukon episode, she didn't throw him possibly due to the respect gained for him after the Yagyuu arc. She is shown to dislike when men try to touch her, and tend to reflexively throw them over her shoulder. When Kyuubei was first introduced, she displayed a cold personality this was likely due to a desire to become stronger, after losing her left eye as a result of saving the young Shimura Tae and her brother Shinpachi, from debt collectors.ĭue to her father not remarrying again after Kyuubei's mother died, he decided to raise Kyuubei as a man, and, as such, she usually acts in a rather masculine way. When dressing femininely, she is shown to be a very attractive girl as she wears her hair in twin ponytails, an orange flower covers her left eye, a pink kimono short skirt and black thigh-length socks to go along with it. She dresses in a masculine attire, wearing a white coat with a red trim and gray sides, with a blue kimono beneath it. Kyuubei has black hair in a ponytail and dark-brown eyes, with an eyepatch covering her left eyesocket due to losing an eye during her childhood. She underwent a rigorous training to achieve her goal, and later returned with the intention of marrying Tae. Kyuubei later left with the ambition to become stronger than a man or a woman and even stronger than Tae. She swore to Kyuubei that she'd become her new left eye. Kyuubei lost her left eye in the process, which filled Tae with guilt.

When debt collectors physically abused Tae and her brother, Kyuubei attacked them to protect her. She admired Tae's strong yet feminine personality and wanted to be just like her. At the same time she met Shimura Tae, who beat up the ones who made fun of her and became an important part of her life. This caused children to bully Kyuubei during her childhood. As the head of the Yagyuu family was traditionally always male and Koshinori was afraid Kyuubei could not properly back the family name as a woman, he decided to raise her as a man and samurai along with his father Yagyuu Binbokusai. When Yagyuu Koshinori's wife died right after giving birth to Kyuubei, he never remarried any woman. 10.1 Gintama The Final Chapter: Be Forever Yorozuya.
