Matako Kijima is a supporting character in Gintama - Mr. Ginpachi's Zany Class, the school parody spinoff of the Gintama series. In this setting, she is a student at Ginpachi High School and a member of Takasugi Shinsuke's clique, often acting as his assistant. She addresses Takasugi as senpai and frequently takes the straight-man role in comedic exchanges, providing grounded, exasperated reactions to the absurd behavior of her classmates. Her personality is marked by a no-nonsense demeanor and fierce loyalty to Takasugi, whom she follows without question. In the original Gintama continuity, she is the only female member of the Kiheitai and is known for her skill with a pair of pistols, but in the school parody, her combat abilities are largely downplayed in favor of her role as a pragmatic foil to the chaos around her. She has long blonde hair and yellow eyes, and she typically appears in the standard school uniform. Her key relationships center on Takasugi, but she also interacts with other members of their group, such as Henpeita Takechi. Her motivation revolves around supporting Takasugi and maintaining a semblance of order within their small faction. She does not undergo significant character development in this spinoff, as the series prioritizes episodic gag humor over long-term arcs. Notable abilities include her sharp, no-nonsense wit and occasional use of firearms, though these are showcased mainly for comedic effect.
