Yuji Itadori
Yuji Itadori is the kind-hearted and physically gifted protagonist of Jujutsu Kaisen. A high school student with superhuman athleticism, he swallowed a Cursed Object — one of Sukuna's fingers — to save his friends from a Cursed Spirit. This act made him the vessel of the King of Curses, Ryomen Sukuna. Despite carrying the world's most evil being inside him, Yuji retains his morality and empathy, valuing the lives of others above all. He joins Tokyo Jujutsu High under Satoru Gojo's guidance and trains under Nanami, Todo, and others. His fighting style combines raw hand-to-hand combat with Sukuna's occasional possession. Throughout the series, Yuji endures immense psychological trauma, losing friends and confronting the dark reality of the jujutsu world, yet he continues to fight for a world where meaningful deaths are possible.

Megumi Fushiguro
Megumi Fushiguro is a stoic and reserved first-year student at Tokyo Jujutsu High. As the adopted son of the Zenin clan, he wields the powerful Ten Shadows Technique, inherited from his father Toji Fushiguro. Megumi can summon shikigami by casting shadows, with his ultimate trump card being the devastating Mahoraga. Unlike most sorcerers who fight for justice, Megumi fights because he believes he owes a debt to the world for being allowed to live. He is deeply loyal to his friends and possesses a sharp tactical mind during combat. Gojo sees Megumi as the one who could surpass him one day. Megumi's character arc involves learning that his life has intrinsic value beyond being a tool for others. His shadow techniques evolve dramatically through the Culling Games, eventually unlocking the full potential of the Ten Shadows against his father's legacy.

Nobara Kugisaki
Nobara Kugisaki is a confident, brash, and fiercely independent first-year sorcerer from Tokyo Jujutsu High. Unlike many sorcerers who are driven by duty or trauma, Nobara fights for the simple joy of living life on her own terms. She wields the Straw Doll Technique, which uses a hammer, nails, and effigy dolls to channel cursed energy and inflict damage remotely via resonance with a target's body part. Nobara's fighting style is viciously creative, using hair, blood, or any personal belonging of her target to amplify her cursed technique. She can also target her own body, enduring self-damage to strike an enemy. Her partnership with Yuji and Megumi forms the core dynamic of Jujutsu High's first-years. Nobara represents the theme that strength comes from self-love and confidence. Her fate in the Shibuya Incident remains ambiguous, but her impact on the story is undeniable.
Nobara Kugisaki Guides
Satoru Gojo
Satoru Gojo is the most powerful jujutsu sorcerer of the modern era and the pillar of the Jujutsu world. As the first person in 400 years to inherit both the Six Eyes and the Limitless Cursed Technique, Gojo is virtually untouchable in combat. His Limitless ability allows him to manipulate space at an atomic level, creating an infinite barrier that nothing can penetrate. His Domain Expansion, Unlimited Void, subjects enemies to infinite information overload, paralyzing them permanently. Despite his godlike power, Gojo is playful, arrogant, and openly contemptuous of the Jujutsu elders' political games. He mentors Yuji, Megumi, and Nobara with a combination of tough love and genuine care. Gojo's sealing during the Shibuya Incident by Kenjaku using the Prison Realm is the cataclysmic turning point of the series, leaving the jujutsu world without its greatest protector. His eventual unsealing and battle against Sukuna is the climax of the entire story.

Ryomen Sukuna
Ryomen Sukuna is the undisputed King of Curses, the most powerful entity in the Jujutsu Kaisen universe. A thousand years ago during the Heian Era, Sukuna was a human sorcerer of unparalleled power who slaughtered countless opponents. After his death, his indestructible soul could not pass on, so his 20 fingers were sealed as Cursed Objects of the highest grade. When Yuji Itadori consumes one of his fingers, Sukuna awakens inside his body, able to manifest by taking control when Yuji's will weakens or through a binding vow. Sukuna is cruel, arrogant, and lives purely for his own pleasure and amusement. He views humans as insects and treats even the strongest sorcerers with contempt. His combat ability is beyond classification, with techniques like Cleave and Dismantle that can cut anything, and the ability to learn any technique after seeing it once. His Domain Expansion, Malevolent Shrine, does not need a barrier and can execute an entire city. The mystery of his Heian form and original identity drives major plot revelations.
Ryomen Sukuna Guides
Maki Zenin
Maki Zenin was born into the prestigious Zenin clan but was rejected for having almost no cursed energy. Rather than succumb to her family's contempt, Maki channeled her Heavenly Restriction — which gave her superhuman physical abilities in exchange for low cursed energy — into becoming a deadly combatant. She wields a variety of cursed tools and is trained in hand-to-hand combat, rivaling even Toji Fushiguro's level after her full awakening. After the Zenin clan massacre, Maki's character takes a dark turn, becoming colder and more ruthless, shedding her former idealism. Her slaughter of the Zenin clan marks one of the darkest moments in the series. Maki's journey is one of radical self-acceptance and empowerment, proving that power is not defined by cursed energy but by will and skill.

Toge Inumaki
Toge Inumaki is a second-year student at Tokyo Jujutsu High who uses the Cursed Speech technique, which forces targets to obey his spoken commands. Because his words can harm allies and bystanders, he communicates only using onigiri ingredients like salmon and tuna mayo to convey meaning. He typically wears a face mask and muffler to suppress his technique. Inumaki lost his right arm during the Shibuya Incident but continues fighting alongside his classmates. Despite his limited dialogue, he is deeply loyal and protective of his friends.
Toge Inumaki Guides
Panda
Panda is a second-year student at Tokyo Jujutsu High who is actually a Cursed Corpse — an autonomous doll animated by a Cursed Core created by Principal Masamichi Yaga. Despite being a construct, Panda has a full personality, consciousness, and emotions. He has three modes: Full Gorilla Mode (power), Mother Bird Mode (mobility with wings), and the Triceratops Mode (defense). Panda is the heart of his class, providing comic relief and emotional support to Maki, Inumaki, and Yuta. His existence raises questions about the nature of life and souls in the Jujutsu world.

Kento Nanami
Kento Nanami is a Grade 1 Jujutsu Sorcerer who previously worked as a salaryman in an office job before returning to sorcery. Practical, weary, and deeply principled, Nanami views his work as a job rather than a calling — but he takes that job seriously. He uses the Ratio Technique, which creates a weak point at the 7:3 ratio of any target, allowing him to inflict critical damage with precise strikes. His blunt honesty and dry humor make him one of the most beloved characters. Nanami serves as a surrogate older brother and father figure to Yuji, even saving him during the Shibuya Incident. His death at the hands of Mahito is one of the most devastating moments in the series, symbolizing the futility of fighting for a just world.
Kento Nanami Guides
Suguru Geto
Suguru Geto was once Satoru Gojo's best friend and a powerful Grade 1 sorcerer capable of manipulating cursed spirits. His Cursed Spirit Manipulation technique allows him to absorb and command any cursed spirit weaker than himself. After a series of traumatic missions and witnessing humanity's cruelty, Geto grew disillusioned with protecting the weak. He adopted a genocidal philosophy: only non-sorcerers should exist in a purified world. This ideological break with Gojo culminated in their tragic separation. Geto eventually became a curse user, committing mass murder and orchestrating the Night Parade of a Hundred Demons. His body was later stolen and used by Kenjaku, who continued Geto's legacy as a puppet. Geto's fall from grace is the emotional core of the series.
Suguru Geto Guides
Mahito
Mahito is a Special Grade Cursed Spirit born from humanity's fear and hatred of other humans. He wields the Idle Transfiguration technique, allowing him to reshape the souls of living beings, including using his own soul to alter his body into weapons. Mahito is sadistic, childish, and fascinated by human suffering, treating his experiments as play. He is the most dangerous of the Disaster Curses because of his ability to create transfigured humans remotely and his rapid evolution. Mahito kills several major characters including Nanami and causes Yuji immense trauma. His ultimate fate is absorption by Kenjaku using Geto's Cursed Spirit Manipulation, but his impact on the story is immense — he represents the inhuman malice of curses incarnate.
Mahito Guides
Jogo
Jogo is a Special Grade Cursed Spirit born from humanity's fear of natural disasters, specifically volcanoes and fire. He is fiercely loyal to the idea of cursed spirits as the true inheritors of the world and despises humans. Jogo wields immense pyrokinetic abilities and can create volcanic eruptions anywhere. He infiltrated Jujutsu High disguised as a human and later fought Gojo, being decisively defeated. Jogo's Domain Expansion, Coffin of the Iron Mountain, traps his target in a volcanic hellscape. Despite his immense power, he is dwarfed by Gojo and Sukuna. His encounter with Sukuna, who complimented him before killing him, is one of the series' most iconic moments.
Jogo Guides
Hanami
Hanami is a Special Grade Cursed Spirit born from humanity's fear of nature's destruction — the earth, forest, and growth. Unlike the more emotional cursed spirits, Hanami is calm, philosophical, and speaks of protecting the natural world from human exploitation. They believe cursed spirits are nature's revenge on humanity. Hanami's abilities focus on plant manipulation and cursed energy absorption, making them extremely durable. They fought against Gojo in Shibuya and were eventually killed by his Cursed Technique Reversal: Red. Hanami's perspective provides a unique anti-human argument within the series, presenting the curse's viewpoint as ecologically motivated rather than purely malicious.
Hanami Guides
Toji Fushiguro
Toji Fushiguro, formerly Toji Zenin, was a legendary assassin known as the Sorcerer Killer. Born with a Heavenly Restriction that gave him zero cursed energy but superhuman physical abilities beyond any sorcerer, Toji was rejected by the Zenin clan. He became a mercenary for the criminal underworld, taking contracts against sorcerers. Toji's defining feat was nearly killing a young Satoru Gojo during the Star Plasma Vessel mission, a defeat that sparked Gojo's transformation into the strongest sorcerer. Toji's IQ and tactical mind in combat are unparalleled — he cannot sense cursed energy but has a perfect intuitive understanding of it. After faking his death, he had a son, Megumi, but eventually sold him to the Zenin clan. He was killed by Gojo in a rematch and later resurrected as a puppet during the Culling Games.

Yuta Okkotsu
Yuta Okkotsu is a Special Grade Sorcerer who first appeared as the protagonist of Jujutsu Kaisen 0. As a child, his childhood friend Rika Orimoto died in a car accident and became a vengeful cursed spirit bound to him, granting him immense cursed energy reserves rivaling Gojo's. Under Gojo's tutelage, Yuta learned to control Rika and later exorcised her curse, leaving her soul at peace. He retained a fragment of her power and became one of the most powerful sorcerers alive. Yuta can copy any cursed technique he observes and stores them for later use. He returns during the Culling Games arc as a key player, wielding multiple techniques and even manifesting Rika's shikigami-like form. Yuta's natural kindness contrasts with his overwhelming destructive potential.

Kinji Hakari
Kinji Hakari is a third-year student at Tokyo Jujutsu High currently on suspension for betting on fights. Despite his reckless gambling habit, Hakari is considered by Gojo to be a potential future equal to him. His Cursed Technique, Private Pure Love Train, is a gambling-themed ability tied to a pachinko machine. He summons a train-themed Domain Expansion that rewards him with unlimited cursed energy when he hits a jackpot sequence. Hakari's fighting style is flashy, unpredictable, and revolves around building probability in his favor. He becomes a key ally during the Culling Games, fighting against Kashimo in one of the series' most creative battles.
Kinji Hakari Guides
Aoi Todo
Aoi Todo is a Grade 1 Sorcerer from Kyoto Jujutsu High and one of the most eccentric characters in the series. Standing at over 200cm with an imposing build, Todo is obsessed with two things: fighting strong opponents and his idol Takada-chan. He uses Boogie Woogie, a cursed technique that swaps the positions of any two targets imbued with his cursed energy by clapping his hands. Todo's incredible battle IQ, physical strength, and unshakable confidence make him a terrifying opponent. He forms an instant brotherhood with Yuji after discovering they share the same taste in women (tall, big butts) and becomes one of Yuji's greatest allies. Todo lost his technique and one hand during the Shibuya Incident when Mahito transfigured his palm, but his fighting spirit remains unbroken.
Aoi Todo Guides
Mai Zenin
Mai Zenin is Maki's younger twin sister and a student at Kyoto Jujutsu High. Unlike Maki, Mai is cynical, lazy, and openly resentful of her sister. She uses the Construction Technique, which allows her to create small objects from cursed energy — primarily bullets for her revolver. Mai's relationship with Maki is deeply toxic, shaped by the Zenin clan's abuse and their mother's favoritism. In the Perfect Preparation arc, Mai sacrifices herself so Maki can achieve her full potential, creating a perfect cursed tool from her own soul in her final moments. Her death is the catalyst for Maki's massacre of the Zenin clan.

Mechamaru (Kokichi Muta)
Kokichi Muta, known as Mechamaru, is a student at Kyoto Jujutsu High who controls a giant mech from hundreds of kilometers away. Born with a Heavenly Restriction that gave him immense cursed energy reserves but an extraordinarily weak and crippled body, Muta has never left his isolation tank. He spent years gathering intelligence from across Japan using his puppet network. Desperate to heal his body, Muta made a deal with Mahito to be healed using Idle Transfiguration in exchange for information on the Jujutsu world. This betrayal led to the Shibuya Incident. Mahito ultimately betrayed him too, but Muta's final battle against Mahito's forces using his ultimate mech form is one of the series' most heroic moments.

He wields the Blood Manipulation technique, which allows him to control his own blood as a weapon. Noritoshi is proud, disciplined, and traditional, but develops respect for outsiders like Yuji and his classmates. His arc involves breaking free from the Kamo clan's rigid expectations and the dark legacy of his ancestor, Noritoshi Kamo the Elder, who created the Death Paintings. Noritoshi fights alongside the Tokyo students during the Culling Games, proving his worth beyond his clan name.
Noritoshi Kamo Guides
Choso
Choso is a Death Painting — a hybrid of human and curse created by Kenjaku during his time as Noritoshi Kamo the Elder. He is the eldest of nine Death Paintings and was born from the blood of a woman and a cursed spirit. After being released from confinement, Choso has been on a mission to protect his brothers. He initially targeted Yuji, believing him to be responsible for the deaths of his younger brothers, but later discovered that Yuji is actually his younger brother by blood, sharing the same mother through Kenjaku's manipulations. Choso wields Blood Manipulation to an even higher degree than Noritoshi, using techniques like Piercing Blood and Supernova. He becomes one of Yuji's most important allies during the Culling Games and Shinjuku Showdown.

Kenjaku
Kenjaku is the overarching mastermind behind the events of Jujutsu Kaisen. Over a thousand years old, he exists as a disembodied brain that can transfer itself to new bodies by consuming their original brain. He has inhabited some of the most powerful figures in history, including Noritoshi Kamo the Elder (creator of the Death Paintings) and Suguru Geto. Kenjaku's goal is to evolve humanity through merging the human world with cursed energy using a massive ritual across Japan. He orchestrated the Shibuya Incident, sealed Gojo, manipulated Yuji's birth to create a vessel for Sukuna, and launched the Culling Games to select worthy candidates. Kenjaku is calm, intellectual, and utterly amoral — treating centuries of suffering as an experiment. He is the ultimate chess player in the series.
Kenjaku Guides
Takaba (Fumihiko Takaba)
Fumihiko Takaba is a failed comedian turned sorcerer who entered the Culling Games. His cursed technique, Comedian, is uniquely powerful and terrifying: anything he finds genuinely funny becomes reality. If Takaba truly believes a joke is hilarious, the effect manifests instantly regardless of logic or physics. This ability borders on reality warping, making him potentially one of the most dangerous sorcerers alive despite his goofy demeanor. Takaba is childish, cheerful, and obsessed with making people laugh. His fight against Kenjaku showcases the terrifying potential of his power when his jokes land.

His arc explores themes of justice, redemption, and whether a person who has sinned can become righteous. He fights alongside Yuji against Sukuna in the Shinjuku Showdown.

She is deeply affected by Geto's turn to darkness and Gojo's isolation, watching her friends drift apart without being able to stop it. Shoko represents the quiet tragedy of the medical professionals who witness the carnage of the jujutsu world without the power to change it.

She fights against Kenjaku during the Shinjuku Showdown, using her ultimate technique, Black Hole, to try to kill him. Her death is a major loss for the side of good, as she was one of the few with a vision for a better jujutsu world.
