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

Concept and creation

The main cast of Jujutsu Kaisen 0. From left to right: Toge Inumaki, Yuta Okkotsu, Maki Zen'in (front), Panda and Satoru Gojo (back); their designs were revised for the main series

Jujutsu Kaisen originates from the four chapter series Tokyo Metropolitan Curse Technical School, later retitled Jujutsu Kaisen 0. In retrospect, Akutami found the early design of Yuta Okkotsu too similar to that of fellow Jujutsu Sorcerer Megumi Fushiguro in the main series, thinking this they might confuse readers. As a result, Akutami changed Yuta's look for the main series. For the series, Akutami teased readers with the possibility Yuta might have been romantically involved with another woman since Rika's death. Similar changes were given to the returning cast including Maki Zen'in, Toge Inumaki and Satoru Gojo due to the authors' preferences. When Jujutsu Kaisen was created, Akutami created a new character, Yuji Itadori, for the leading role while Yuta became supporting. Similarities between Yuta and Itadori include their introduction to jujutsu, tragedy, naivety and having faced death. Despite their similarities, the two have been noted to "carry themselves very differently ... Itadori is outgoing, where Yuta is more reserved".

Regarding the process of character creation, 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. 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 a certain empathy. The character of Nobara Kugisaki was written to be the strongest protagonist while Megumi Fushiguro did not stand out too much until the author decided to give him a line where he makes philosophy. Akutami, fearing that the manga would be cancelled, decided to expand the time during which Yuji is dead. Akutami also expressed regrets over the handling of Junpei Yoshino and his story arc.

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. 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 being 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 later favorite character.

After finding and opening a box containing a cursed charm resembling a rotting finger, his school is attacked by phantom-like creatures called Curses. 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 death sentence, suspended until he consumes all of Sukuna's fingers, after which the execution would be carried out to eliminate Sukuna at the same time.

Megumi Fushiguro (伏黒 恵, Fushiguro Megumi) is a sorcerer studying in the first year at the Tokyo Prefectural Jujutsu High School under the tutelage of Gojo. He meets Yuji when trying to locate a high-grade cursed charm talisman at his high school. Megumi is the one that convinces Satoru to try to save Yuji from his execution after his possession by Sukuna. Megumi possesses the "Ten Shadows Technique" (十種影法術, Tokusa no Kage Bōjutsu). He uses his curse power to create shikigami (式神) 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 originally going to be sold to the Zenin clan (one of the big three prestigious families of sorcerers), which was stopped by Gojo, and thus Megumi became a sorcerer himself. The head of the Zen'in clan, Naobito suffers grievous injuries fighting Dagon at Shibuya, and names Megumi as the next head of the Zen'in clan before dying. He and Yuji then compete in the Culling Games in order to save his sister Tsumiki. After the truth about his sister being possessed by Heian era sorcerer Yorozu is revealed, Sukuna takes the opportunity and possesses Megumi, becoming his new vessel. After possessing Megumi, Sukuna is resolved to kill Yorozu, who is madly in love with him, in order to completely sink Megumi's consciousness into despair by turning him into his own sister's killer. Though Yorozu extends much of her force and uses her Domain Expansion on Sukuna, the latter summons Megumi's shikigami, including Mahoraga and succeeds in killing Yorozu, as well as Tsumiki. When the jujutsu sorcerers successfully release Gojo from the Prison Realm, Gojo challenges Sukuna to a duel on Christmas Eve.

Along with Toge and Panda, she recruits Megumi and Nobara (and later Yuji) to participate in the Sister School Exchange Event with Kyoto Prefectural Jujutsu High School. Maki comes from a prestigious sorcerer 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 Sorcerer. 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. During the events at Shibuya, Jogo burns her entire body, and she only survives thanks to the Heavenly Pact. After the events at Shibuya, she lays waste to her clan, in order to gain access to their armory containing weapons useful in the fight against Kenjaku, during this ordeal she becomes even more powerful, which comes with her sister, Mai's sacrifice. She joins the Culling Games as a player, and due to her special circumstance, is able to leave and enter barriers. Noritoshi Kamo from Kyoto school soon joins her side in the colony, but they are set upon by the special grade cursed spirit created from Naoya Zen'in, who has arrived to avenge his own death at the hands of Maki and her mother. They engage in fierce battle, during which Maki is significantly injured. She is forced to retreat, in order to heal, as Noritoshi takes it upon himself to hold off Naoya until she can exorcise it, even if it costs his life.

Panda

Voiced by: Tomokazu Seki (Japanese); Matthew David Rudd (English)

Panda (パンダ) is a second year student at Tokyo Prefectural Jujutsu High School who takes part in the Sister School Exchange Event. Although having an appearance of a giant panda, he is actually a unique type of Cursed Corpse created by Masamichi Yaga, in which not only does Panda have sentience, but grows and matures as he ages. Also unique to him is having three "cores" (the 'heart' of a Cursed Corpse), which he can change back and forth to unlock various abilities. After grieving the death of his creator, Masamichi Yaga, Panda joins the Culling Games with Itadori and Fushiguro in the effort to stop it. Panda engages in a battle with Hajime Kashimo, a resurrected sorcerer from the Heian era, who manages to defeat all two of his cores. Only the interference of Kinji Hakari stops Kashimo from killing Panda.

After his fight with Hajime Kashimo that resulted in the destruction of his body and his other two cores, Panda appears much smaller than his original size, resembling a baby panda cub.

Yuta Okkotsu

Main article: Yuta Okkotsu

Voiced by: Megumi Ogata (Japanese); Kayleigh McKee (English)

Yuta Okkotsu (乙骨 憂太, Okkotsu Yūta) is the protagonist of Tokyo Metropolitan Curse Technical School (Jujutsu Kaisen 0). Yuta was initially a cursed victim of Special-Grade, haunted by the spirit of his childhood friend, Rika Orimoto. Satoru Gojo took charge of Yuta's case and enrolled him at Tokyo Prefectural Jujutsu High School, where he befriended Maki Zen'in, Toge Inumaki 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 Cursed Technique is "Copy", which allows him to use the Cursed Techniques of other sorcerers. In addition, Yuta retains the shikigami Rika; however it is weaker than its appearance in Jujutsu Kaisen 0 because the curse on Rika, the spirit, was lifted. Yuta's great power comes from being a descendant of one of the three great sorcerer clans (which makes him a distant relative to Gojo) 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 Gojo had been sealed, though the two soon team up afterwards, in order to rid the world of Kenjaku. He enters the Sandai colony of the Culling Games in order to protect the civilians from sorcerers and gain information on Kenjaku. He successfully defeats multiple very powerful, reincarnated sorcerers, such as Ishigoori and Uro.

Kinji Hakari

Kinji Hakari (秤金次, Hakari Kinji) is a third-year student at Tokyo Jujutsu High suspended for clashing with authority. While away from the school, Kinji is running a fight club between sorcerers for money. He has been spoken by Gojo as potentially surpassing him along with Yuji and Yuta, and Yuta also states that Hakari is capable of being stronger than him when he is serious. Following Yuta's advice, Megumi and Yuji seek him out to gain his help against Kenjaku, and soon find him at his illegal fight club. Upon hearing that Gojo has been sealed and Yaga was executed, Kinji agrees to help defeat Kenjaku. He later shows up in the Tokyo No. 2 Colony of the Culling Games, in an attempt to recruit French sorcerer and manga artist, Charles Bernard to their battle against Kenjaku. His innate technique allows him to spontaneously create and manipulate Pachinko machine parts, such as sliding doors. By expanding this technique into a domain, Hakari places himself and others inside a Pachinko machine, the appearance of which reflects how close Hakari is to a jackpot. Additionally, his Cursed Energy is inherently harmful to the touch, making him a particularly dangerous fighter in close combat. Using this technique, he is able to beat the reincarnated sorcerer, Hajime Kashimo after he had gravely injured Panda, forcing him into an alliance.

Kirara Hoshi

Kirara Hoshi (星綺羅羅, Hoshi Kirara) is a third-year student at Tokyo Jujutsu High suspended for clashing with authority. While away from the school, Kirara has partnered with Kinji while running his fight club. Their Cursed Technique is Interstellar Flight (Love Rendezvous), a complex technique whose motif is based on the Southern Cross constellation. They agree to Fushiguro and Itadori's request for help, after hearing about everything that transpired at Shibuya. Kirara is later outside the barriers of the Culling Game serving as the provider of intel for the group.

As a result, Satoru is widely respected by sorcerers and greatly influences the sorcery world. He convinces his superiors at the college to keep Yuji Itadori alive until he consumes all of Sukuna's fingers. He teaches Yuji, Megumi Fushiguro, and Nobara Kugisaki.

Ryomen Sukuna

Main article: Ryomen Sukuna

Voiced by: Junichi Suwabe (Japanese); Ray Chase (English)

Ryomen Sukuna (両面宿儺, Ryōmen Sukuna, "Double-Faced Spectre") is an ancient sorcerer who has incarnated in the present day, being held as the undisputed 'King of Curses' due to his raw power and malevolence. According to legend, he was a four-armed, two-faced demon god resembling a human amid Jujutsu's golden age, the Heian period, though in reality was an actual human (though mutated) sorcerer. Enemy sorcerers of his time could not kill him, and eventually, Sukuna converted himself into a special-grade cursed object, a set of twenty indestructible fingers preserved in grave wax, to be able to traverse the ages and incarnate into suitable vessels should a finger be consumed. 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 regain his power and body. Whenever Sukuna possesses Itadori, characteristic tattoos form on Itadori's body and two extra eyes open on Itadori's cheeks. Satoru Gojo claims he can beat a fully-restored Sukuna, but the latter has expressed a desire to kill him, and his power is such that all other Cursed Spirits are attempting to restore him. When Itadori is fed ten of Sukuna's fingers at once at Shibuya, Sukuna comes out and commits mass killing at Shibuya. During the Culling Games, Sukuna seizes his opportunity by ripping off Yuji's pinky finger and force feeding it to Megumi allowing Sukana to transfer himself to possess Fushiguro's body, becoming his new vessel. He then kills Megumi's sister, Tsumiki, while possessed by Yorozu, a Heian era sorcerer obsessed with him. After Gojo is released by his students, Sukuna is challenged by Gojo to a duel on Christmas Eve.

Kenjaku

Kenjaku (羂索) orchestrated the Shibuya Incident and the Culling Game, to which he plans on recreating the Heian era, the Golden Age of Sorcery, in modern Japan. At the beginning of the series, he appears as the deceased Suguru Geto - which many have believed he was resurrected at first. In reality, Kenjaku is a mysterious ancient sorcerer who had taken over the bodies of many sorcerers in many eras, among them being the ancestor Noritoshi Kamo whose body he used to make the Death Paintings and possessed Geto's dead body. Kenjaku worked along with Mahito's group to carry out his plans. However, he does not see them as allies and had ulterior motives using Geto's Cursed Spirit Manipulation Technique which he acquired in possession of his body. Kenjaku's 'true form' is a brain with a mouth, allowing him to transfer himself into different hosts of his choice which can be recognized with the horizontal stitches around their head. His ability to transfer hosts allows him to retain the Cursed Techniques of some of the bodies he has inhabited, including Suguru Geto's Cursed Spirit Manipulation and Kaori Itadori's Antigravity technique. During the Culling Games, he approaches Sasaki, Itadori's friend and classmate at his previous school and thanks her for taking care of "his" son. A while after the start of the Culling Games, he resumes his identity as Noritoshi Kamo and head of the clan, exiling the current Noritoshi. He then goes to attempt to absorb Tengen, but Yuki Tsukumo and Choso go all out in a fight to force him into submission.

Voiced by: Nobunaga Shimazaki (Japanese); Lucien Dodge (English)

Mahito (真人) is 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 life has no value or meaning; 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 body's shape, thus enabling him to transfigure the bodies of his victims by turning them into disfigured creatures at his service.

His pride makes him numb toward humans and casually kills them, but it also leads to overconfidence. Despite warnings that his entire group could not kill Satoru, Jogo attempted to defeat him in a single fight and was completely overwhelmed.

Nevertheless, Sukuna utilizes his own fire-based attacks and effortlessly exterminates the cursed spirit, though not before congratulating him for fighting and dying with dignity.

Ryuu Ishigouri (石流 龍, Ishigōri Ryū) is an ancient sorcerer from 400 years ago that reincarnated into the modern era as a player for the Culling Game. Ishigouri, along with Takako Uro, Dhruv Lakdawalla and Kurourushi were the most powerful players within the Sendai colony creating a deadlock between the four.

Hajime Kashimo

He later spent his points to add a new rule to the game so he could find Sukuna. After encountering and overpowering Panda in Tokyo Colony No.2, Hakari Kinji joined the fight to his aid. After an exhausting fight, Kinji manages to overwhelm Kashimo and force him into cooperation.

Hagane is a lethal fighter with a sword and is able to fight the Vengeful Spirit of Naoya, an opponent Maki was struggling with despite wielding no Cursed Energy. Similarly, he cannot see Cursed Spirits but is able to "see everything else" - this led Maki to ponder what makes her different from both Hagane and Toji.
