Ayame Sarutobi (Sarutobi Ayame) is kunoichi nicknamed Sa-chan from the Oniwabanshu. She meets Gintoki when she falls through his roof. When she tries to convince him that he had inappropriate relations with her, he briefly plays along despite knowing that she was lying to get his help. Ever since that incident, she has become infatuated with him, much to his exasperation. Her feelings for him seem to be encouraged, as she enjoys being put down and threatened by him, due to her extreme masochism. She often follows Gintoki and the rest of Odd Jobs around much to his knowledge, throwing objects at her to come out when he needs her help. However, as the manga continues, Sa-chan's appears less frequently in the series which tends to irritate her.
