List of Jujutsu Kaisen characters

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The following article is a list of characters from the manga series Jujutsu Kaisen.

Conception and creation[]

Regarding the process of character creation, the author Gege Akutami claimed that they must fall within the canons of shōnen manga in order to capture the attention of readers. Yuji is largely inspired by Akutami's older brother, who is the opposite of Akutami, according to the author's own words, as he had succeeded in sports and study.[1] Akutami said that the message of Jujutsu Kaisen is that nobody has the absolute truth, not the "good guys" nor the "bad guys", and if nobody is right, then nobody is wrong either, and that each character acts according to their own ethics. The Sensui arc of YuYu Hakusho inspired Akutami to create evil characters with the goal of eradicating humanity, for whom the readers, nevertheless, would feel certain empathy for.[1]

With Sukuna and Mahito, Akutami wanted to avoid the typical "deep down they are good" idea, stating that they are intrinsically evil beings who like to make humans suffer, but Akutami said that it cannot be proved that they are wrong, adding that Mahito was like Thanos in Avengers: Endgame, as Akutami never felt hatred for him.[1] For some characters, like Panda and Toge Inumaki, Akutami first created their visual aspects, while the character of Satoru Gojo came from an idea, which represents the paroxysm of force. Sukuna was Akutami's first favorite character due to his design influenced by everything that Akutami had read, but Kento Nanami was the first character properly created and developed by Akutami, making him the author's current favorite character.[1]

A teenager athlete who joins his school's Occult Club to avoid the track team. After finding and opening a box containing a cursed charm resembling a rotting finger, his school is attacked by phantom-like creatures known as Curses. In order to protect his friends, he consumes the rotting finger and becomes possessed by a Curse known as Ryoumen Sukuna. Yuji later joins the Tokyo Prefectural Jujutsu High School under the tutelage of Satoru Gojo, where he is placed under a sort of death sentence, which has been suspended until he consumes all of Sukuna's fingers in order to kill himself and Sukuna at the same time. He believes in leading everyone to proper death and wants to save everyone.
Megumi Fushiguro (伏黒 恵, Fushiguro Megumi)
Voiced by: Yuma Uchida[2] (Japanese); Robbie Daymond[3] (English)
A sorcerer studying in first year at the Tokyo Prefectural Jujutsu High School under the tutelage of Satoru. He meets Yuji when trying to locate a high-grade cursed charm talisman at his high school. He is the one that convinces Satoru to try to save Yuji from his execution after his possession by Sukuna. Megumi uses his curse power to create spirits (式神, Shikigami) out of his own shadows to exorcise Curses. He has been noted to have high potential as a sorcerer by several other powerful people, including Sukuna himself. He was being sold to the Zenin clan (one of the three prestigious families of socerers) which was stopped by Gojo and thus he became a socerer himself.
Nobara Kugisaki (釘崎 野薔薇, Kugisaki Nobara)

She comes from a prestigious sorceror clan and is poised to be the next heir as the head's eldest child, but due to her lack of Cursed Energy, she and her twin sister Mai were demoted to being the clan's servants. She later left the clan to attend Tokyo Prefectural Jujutsu High School and become a Jujutsu Sorceror. Having no Cursed Energy, Maki requires the use of glasses to see Curses and uses a variety of weapons as Cursed Tools. However, being born with a Heavenly Restriction (天与呪縛, Ten'yo Jubaku), she possesses superhuman physical prowess, which more than makes up for her lack of curse power.

A second year student at Tokyo Prefectural Jujutsu High School who takes part in the Sister School Exchange Event alongside Maki and Panda.

After training with Gojo and the other students, Yuta learns to control his cursed energy and becomes a skilled swordsman. Even after Rika's curse is lifted, Yuta maintains his Special-Grade ranking, so much so that he can beat Suguru Geto, and Gojo has stated that Yuta has the potential to overcome him. Yuta's great power comes from being a descendant of one of the three great sorcerer clans and is the reason he cursed Rika when he refused her death at a young age. Yuta is still a sophomore at the institute, studying abroad. He later comes back as the executioner of Itadori Yuji after Gojou Satoru had been sealed.[9]

Voiced by: Junichi Suwabe[25] (Japanese); Ray Chase[3] (English)
A high-grade demon curse, considered the undisputed 'King of Curses' due to his raw power and malevolence. According to legend, he was a four-armed demon resembling a human, when in reality, he was the vengeful spirit of a sorcerer from the prime era of jujutsu. Sorcerers of his time were unable to exorcise him however, storing his 20 fingers as cursed charms in hope that one day they would be destroyed. Currently, Sukuna is the "guest" of the body of Yuji Itadori, who agrees to let himself be killed to avoid further massacres. He has expressed notable interest in Megumi Fushiguro's abilities and plans to both regain his power and body. Whenever Sukuna possesses Itadori, characteristic tattoos take form on Itadori's body and two extra eyes open on Itadori's cheeks.

Mahito (真人, Mahito)
Voiced by: Nobunaga Shimazaki[13] (Japanese); Lucien Dodge (English)
A high-grade humanoid curse born from human hatred, whose goal is to exterminate the human race. He is sadistic, immature and loves to play with human emotions, even when his life is in danger. He believes that life has no value or meaning, and therefore everyone should do what they want. This mentality seems to stem from Mahito's ability to perceive and manipulate souls, which makes him see the soul (and by extension the heart) as nothing more than an object. His cursed power allows him to manipulate the soul of himself and others by changing the shape of the body, thus enabling him to transfigure the bodies of his victims by turning them into monsters at his service.
Hanami (花御, Hanami)
Voiced by: Atsuko Tanaka[13] (Japanese); Marie Westbrook[26] (English)

Jogo has immense pride as a cursed spirit and a passionate hatred of humans, being convinced that cursed spirits are the true form of humanity as they represent pure truths of life such as hatred, while human beings feign so many positive emotions that they are false beings that should be exterminated. His pride leads him to be numb towards humans and casually kill them, but it also leads to overconfidence. Despite warnings that his entire group cannot kill Satoru, Jogo attempted to defeat him in a single fight and was completely overwhelmed.
Dagon (陀艮, Dagon)
He was a cursed womb before becoming a fully developed cursed spirit. Due to Dagon's short time as a fully-fledged cursed spirit, not much is known about his personality.
