On the Gintama official page, it says Gintoki's age is 20+. But it is not
clear how old he is, because in the last generation of the Joui war, the
foursome of Sakata Gintoki, Katsura Kotarou, Takasugi Shinsuke, and Sakamoto
Tatsuma joined. So it's confusing what his real age is.

How old is Gintoki?


It seems that Gintoki is about 25 to 26 years old.

In the Ask Sorachi segment of `Episode 9: “You should go all out in a fight”`
Gin were described as a "hairless baby" when the Amanto first arrived. Shortly
after which the Joui war started.

Gin was said to join the war towards the end, at which point we know he must
be at least 20 years old. As that is how long the war just about lasted. But
this was already known, as this was also answered inside the sorachi segments
(see image)

Now using [this live journal](http://gintama.livejournal.com/404315.html) as a
guide line we can see that up to episode 195 roughly 4 years have passed based
on the seasons represented, and Christmas specials. As there are now 281
episodes, and it roughly takes 49 episodes to progress a year another 1.8
years should have about passed making Gintoki 25, almost 26

I believe Gintoki is 33, in episode 251? (the Kotatsu episode) of the anime,
Gin states that after 6 years of the anime playing he is mentally almost 40.

I think he's around 23-24. On episode 292, when gintoki wore a 3rd year
uniform he said that he's a 9th year, this implies that he's about 23-24 since
a 3rd year is usually 17-18.

And on Ginpachi sensei, it was said that 20 years ago, gintoki was this
hairless baby, who doesn't look to be more than 4 years old, also when he went
to join at the very end of the war that lasted for ten years, this was when he
started growing a different kind of hair which is usual on 10-15 year old
boys. He's likely around that age when he joined the war.

Between 24-28. We know he is younger than Kondo who is 28 and we know he
should be older than Mutsu who is revealed to be 24 in her episodes. I like to
think he is the same age as Hijikata (who he has many parallels with) so
around 27 (the same should be the case with Takasugi and Katsura who were his
classmates and Sakamoto who may be a year older at most)

Probably between 28 to 30.

They joined the Joui war around 10 years ago. At that time, they didn't look
like teenagers but already adults, maybe 18 or 19 years old. So, 10 years
later a.k.a the present time, they must be 28 or 29.
