Age: 19-23 Birthday: October 25, 1982 Zodiac Sign: Scorpio Blood Type: O The second president of Genshiken, Madarame is personally chosen by the first Genshiken president to be his successor, though Madarame shows the most leadership and initiative even before formally appointed as president. He is a Gundam fan and arguably the most hardcore otaku out of all of Genshiken. Madarame buys d�jinshi without looking at price tags, something that occasionally leaves him with very little spending money on basic necessities such as food (his sushi of choice is bacon sushi topped with mayonnaise, cheap at 50 yen a piece). Madarame takes pride in everything that he purchases. The Official Genshiken Data Book's otaku quiz section calls the highest level of otaku "Madarame." Madarame's loud and adamant support of his own otaku lifestyle initially makes him Saki's nemesis in Genshiken, but as Madarame develops a crush on Saki it heavily influences his interactions with her. However, even after graduating and getting job at Sakura Pipe Repair thanks to his "computer literacy" (i.e. experience with porn games) Madarame never admits his feelings to Saki as he does not want to risk ruining their friendship. In the relaunch of the manga, Madarame still drops by the Genshiken clubroom for lunch. In order to help the crossdressing Hato be able to come to the clubroom as a girl while attending classes as a male, Madarame agrees to allow Hato use his apartment to change since it is very close to the school. In the spin-off manga series "Spotted Flower" (unconfirmed if canon), Madarame is finally in a relationship with Saki; they are married (she took his virginity) and Saki is pregnant with their child. Much of the story revolves around their married lives, specifically her pregnancy and his otaku lifestyle affecting their sexual intimacy. (Source: Wikipedia)
Birthday: July 14 Zodiac Sign: Cancer Blood Type: O Favorite Manga: Chinmoku no Kantai Favorite Anime: Gundam with older men in it Favorite Video Game: Samurai Spirits Ringtone: Gundam Risenshi, Gair's theme Kanako is the fourth president of Genshiken. Raised in the United States since the third grade, she graduated from an American high school, joining the Genshiken at the beginning of the Fall term. Normally soft-spoken and easily embarrassed, Kanako is surprisingly upfront when it comes to one of her two main passions: cosplay. With a nice figure and large bosom, Kanako and her cosplaying (using costumes sewn personally by Tanaka, whom she begins dating) quickly become Genshiken's main attraction at student fairs. Kanako's other main passion is yaoi involving muscular, middle-aged, exceedingly bald men. One of the reasons Kanako joins Genshiken in the first place is because only they would accept her fetish. She is also close to Saki, as Saki was the first one to find out about Kanako's preference for older men. Kanako is against cosplay sex, claiming that doing so betray the characters, but when asked if it's okay to have sex while cosplaying as a porn character, she becomes very embarrassed and indicates she has already used that loophole. Her decision to become the next president of Genshiken comes from Saki's suggestion that she could turn it into a cosplay club (literally "Society for the Study of Cosplay" in the original Japanese). Kanako later passes the presidency on to Ogiue. In the relaunch of the manga, it is revealed that she is not job hunting as she is waiting for Tanaka to finish his additional schooling, implying that she may be planning to be a housewife or to help him.

Gedoumaru is a Shikigami of the Ketsuno Clan. She was given to Sakata Gintoki of the Yorozuya as a precaution, during the Exorcist Chapter, by Ketsuno Ana, who had requested the Yorozuya's assistance. Cold and relentless, Gedoumaru will do anything to beat her opponent, as seen in Episode 195 when she tricked the other Shikigami into thinking her mother had just died, when it was all just an act to get them to lower their guard. If her master shows any sign of weaknesses, she will turn on him. Gedoumaru was caught by the Ketsuno clan when she was tearing up Mt. Oe during the Heian period, and was forced to serve them ever since, as told by Gedoumaru herself in Episode 195.

Developed a crush on Mayora 13, aka Hijikata Toushirou 土方 å��四郎 in Episode 35 when her father, Kondou, Hijikata and Okita were spying on her and her first date. Subsequently, the 2nd time father spied on her while she was working at a konbini Asked Hijikata out for a date on her own, and during the "date," which Hijikata planned to make her ditch him, she was never once put off by having to watch porn-movie, eat the Hijikata-Special (in fact she liked it, leading to Hijikata blushing happily momentarily) or see Hijikata behaving like a coward in front of "hooligans" (played by the Yorozuya trio). The hooligan incident is an exact replay, including spoken lines, of Episode 101 when Hijikata was confronted by a group of Jouishishi rebels after being newly possessed by the spirit of the cursed sword, and had to be rescued by Itou Kamotarou 伊æ�± 鴨太郎.
