Katsura is the leader of a terrorist faction involved in a group of reformist factions called the "Jouishishi" and a wanted criminal. They work together to reform what Japan has turned into by moderate means, all the while opposing the Shinsengumi and the Shogun ever since they sided with the Amanto who are aliens that have taken over the country.

Katsura's illogical decisions often suggest him to be a complete moron, though this may be a result of his lack of common sense rather than actual stupidity as in his childhood he was considered a talented genius who was able to attend a prestigious school without having the money to pay for it.
Despite that, Katsura couldn't identify the Shogun by his physical appearance, or by his nickname "shou-chan". He is hardly ever seen joking, which only serves to amplify the oddities of his character. Katsura also has an extreme imagination and improvisation: he sometimes does the voices of some inanimate objects and tends to have long and dramatic flashbacks and reflections out of pointless matters. (via wiki.)

Katsura used to be more violent than how he is now and formed an organization whose motives are to re-create Edo back to it's old samurai ways before it was taken over by the Amanto. He's a wanted man for causing chaos in the past against the Bakufu government— his most infamous crimes involving metallic bombs. Katsura used to want to destroy the country that he believes is imperfect ever since it has been taken over by the Amanto and the government sided with them. Eventually, Katsura's heart changed when he realized there were people and things in Edo that he cared about and came to the conclusion that his extremist methods were not the right way to go about things. Instead, Katsura wants to change the world back to how it used to be with more peaceful methods. This means that Katsura does find things in broken places, even, and treasures them deeply, enough to change his initial motives.
He feels very moved by things such as love, or good morals that are found in people and holds them in high value. He also finds things pure like romance and friendship something to treasure, and can make long, profound speeches in regards to them that are heartwarming. In other words, he is a big softie for things that are pure.

Zura is type of serious character different than the typical. He's a comedic character whose jokes lie severely on his serious demeanor rather than making it obvious he is joking. In fact, Katsura hardly ever jokes, and you could say that is one aspect that makes him humorous. The fact he is so serious about a situation can sometimes be ridiculous. In other words, Katsura only encourages whatever is ridiculous to be only more ridiculous by the way he reacts in a situation.
He is scatterbrained and illogical at times, using the most irresponsible or senseless methods to go about things. Really, it makes him look like he is nothing more but a moron— though it is mentioned he was a star student when he was studying to be a samurai and is highly intelligent.

Katsura is generally a pretty polite guy who seems very aware not to offend anyone, and seems particular with how he carries himself and appears to others. Zura often seems to reflect dated mannerisms and references in his speech, almost as if he doesn't want to get caught up in modern times. He is also hypersensitive of his proper name and how to address others comfortably.

Other than this these, Katsura is generally a pretty odd person who has a fascination with cute animals, specifically their pawpads, and has admitted to having a fetish for widowed women. He is a very imaginative individual, sometimes providing a voice to inanimate objects and engaging in conversations with them without a beat of the lash. He enjoys reflecting on old memories and flash backs or making up long, extensive stories for various situations. Most of these made up stories are heartwarming or dramatic that can move people to tears, but they are too long and pointless for the situation.

Katsura is strong willed, determined on getting whatever needs to be done in his own way with his own twists. He's very good at improvising a situation if put in danger to guarantee his safety or safety of others. He also asserts himself at taking on leadership roles and has a popular following, gaining respect from those who agree with this aspirations. Zura once even charmed an entire jail cell once and was respected as their leader within a matter of days. This means that Katsura is good at staying level headed with important decisions, all of his oddities aside.

Even with his moments of stupidity and odd behavior, Zura is known as the Nobleman of Fury and Master Escape Kotarou amongst other titles that ensure his skills of being a fierce samurai and fighter. Don't let first impressions fool you; you don't want to really piss this guy off.

With a huge heart, his dream is a new world that isn't corrupt like his own now, and that is what is most important to him.
