Birthday: December 18 Zodiac: Sagittarius Height: 159 cm Weight: 55 kg Hiraga Gengai is Edo's greatest mechanic and inventor. He has helped Sakata Gintoki and the Yorozuya on several occasions. He makes ugly and crude machines, and his belief is that 'The machines of men are armour, cannons and caterpillars'. Gengai has a bad habit of modifying everything he has at hand, forgetting to tell the items' users important instructions on how to utilize them until it's too late. This usually results in the items' users getting into trouble. Hiraga Gengai was first introduced in Episode 17. Seemingly as a normal mechanic, the Yorozuya later found out that his only son, Hiraga Saburou had lost his life in the Joui wars. His only son's death left him with a deep emotional scar and Takasugi Shinsuke took advantage of that and used him to attack a festival in which the Shogun would be attending. However, with the help of the Yorozuya and the Shinsengumi, the attack was stopped and Gengai persuaded that revenge against the Bakufu was not the right course of action. Presently, he is the owner-proprietor of Machine Hall, a machine-repair workshop and inventor's office, and he frequently has to repair Gintoki's scooter. Even so, he is still a fugitive from the law, as seen from his wanted poster at the end of Episode 17, and as stated by Gintoki in the beginning of Episode 67. In the Lotus Chapter he helped repair Tama by re-using No.305's body. In the Tama's Virus Infection Chapter, he helped analyze the problem of Tama's pixelated look, sending the Yorozuya into her body to fight the viruses. In the Kabuki-cho arc, he appeared to help in the battle against the men of Doromizu Jirochou. In chapter 318 he repaired Sa-chan's glasses, and in chapter 321, it was discovered that he actually turned the glasses into some kind of mass destruction weapon.
Gon's exact saurian species is never delved into. He vaguely resembles an outdated depiction of a generic carnosaur in a tripod stance. He is an omnivore with an enormous appetite. He possesses enormous power and endurance for his size, his feats of strength including supporting his own weight with his jaws, to being able to partially lift a fully grown African Elephant. His scaly hide is almost impenetrable, being able to shrug off the bites of larger predators. Gon's intelligence seems to fluctuate in each adventure, ranging from total cluelessness (such as failing to notice a bird nest on his head for weeks), to strategic cunning (using a lion as a beast of burden to capture prey).

Ms Ripple is a wealthy jewel collector who brought along many of her most precious jewels on-board the ship that Ash and his friends were traveling on while in the Decolora Archipelago. A screenshot on the tablet has the romanization of her name as "Lipple" by deciphering the anime language in the window title but it is obvious from the other characters in the episode that her proper name is Ripple as it ties in with Shoal, Tide and Current.

One of the girls in the Manga Society at the time Ogiue attempted to join, she seems to harbor strong feelings of resentment towards Ogiue. Criticizing Ogiue for slipping into her Tohoku dialect when she doesn't speak formally, Yabusaki herself speaks in a highly pronounced Kansai dialect, which she says scares those from Kant�. When Ogiue is rejected as a vendor for the next ComiFes, Yabusaki (grudgingly) invites her to become a guest artist in her own circle's d�jinshi. Though she appears only towards the end of the manga, she shows up much earlier in the anime, in episode 3 of season 2. (Source: Wikipedia)
