The GazettE meets Gintama: Part 2/2 - Aoi and Kai
So, after brainstorming a little, I've come up with characters for Aoi and Kai in my "Who would the GazettE boys be in Gintama?" thought experiment!
KAI is Tae Shimura! Yes, she's female, but they have some striking similarities. Mainly, they both seem like sunny, motherly, responsible and well-bred individuals from the outside, but are secretly (or not so secretly in Tae's case) bossy and strong-tempered to the extent of scaring other people. They also have a tendency to hide their sadness behind a smile and are both known for their cooking, albeit for somewhat different reasons. Kai is supposedly a rather good cook (unless you ask Reita), whereas Tae is infamous for being a catastrophically bad cook (unless you ask Tae herself).
^There they are, cooking. Tae has supposedly made tamagoyaki (Japanese omelette, which in her hands is more akin to a lethal weapon than a dish), and Kai is doing his French toast number on the NLSG tour. Even Reita ate some of that. :)
AOI is Kondou. I'm sorry, but he's the best available fit for Aoi, really! There's no one in the Gintama universe who would truly match his unique personality. :/ Anyway. They are both good-hearted oyaji ('old men'), who appreciate friendship and camaraderie above all else and are prone to awkward bursts of sappiness or declarations of loneliness, and... that's pretty much it. Kondou doesn't have Aoi's bad temper, playfulness or charisma (well, not in my opinion, anyway), and Aoi isn't blind to other people's faults or desperately stalking anyone, as far as I know. [edit: Omg, how could I forget about Aoi's obsession over Uruha?! That counts as stalking of sorts.] Also, they don't really look alike.
