JJK Characters

60 JJK Characters: Female, Name, Villains, Male, Girls & Boys

Jujutsu Kaisen has a large cast built around jujutsu sorcerers, cursed spirits, curse users, ancient figures, and students caught in conflicts created by cursed energy. The story, created by Gege Akutami, follows Yuji Itadori after an encounter with a powerful cursed object draws him into the dangerous world of jujutsu. Shonen Jump

This guide covers 60 notable JJK characters, ranging from central figures such as Yuji Itadori, Megumi Fushiguro, Nobara Kugisaki, Satoru Gojo, and Ryomen Sukuna to Kyoto students, special-grade sorcerers, cursed spirits, Zenin clan members, and Culling Game participants.

Rather than treating the cast as a simple list of names, the guide explains where each character belongs, what role they play, their defining personality traits, important relationships, and their cursed techniques or combat specialties when these are established. Because Jujutsu Kaisen contains major twists, descriptions avoid unnecessary late-story spoilers.

Understanding JJK Characters

The supernatural system of Jujutsu Kaisen begins with cursed energy, which originates from negative human emotions. Curses can form from this energy, while trained jujutsu sorcerers learn to control cursed energy and use it against supernatural threats.

Many sorcerers possess an innate cursed technique, a specialized ability that differs greatly between individuals. Some can also use barrier techniques, shikigami, reverse cursed technique, or Domain Expansion.

Several institutions and families organize the cast. Tokyo and Kyoto Jujutsu High train sorcerers, while traditional clans such as the Zenin and Kamo families influence the political structure of jujutsu society. Special-grade sorcerers and special-grade cursed spirits represent unusually powerful figures within this system.

These distinctions matter because the JJK cast is not simply divided into conventional heroes and villains. Family obligations, jujutsu politics, personal philosophies, curses, and conflicting ideas about protecting people shape many of its relationships.

Tokyo Jujutsu High Characters

1. Yuji Itadori

DetailInformation
RoleCentral protagonist
AffiliationTokyo Jujutsu High
Notable TraitExtraordinary physical ability
Major ConnectionRyomen Sukuna

Yuji Itadori is the primary protagonist around whom Jujutsu Kaisen initially builds its story. Even before becoming a jujutsu sorcerer, Yuji possesses remarkable physical strength, speed, and athleticism.

His life changes after he becomes connected to Ryomen Sukuna, the feared King of Curses. Rather than simply giving Yuji greater power, this connection places an enormous burden on him and becomes one of the central conflicts of the series.

Yuji is compassionate, direct, and strongly concerned with the value of human life. His early desire to ensure that people experience a “proper death” gradually becomes more complicated as he encounters the realities of curses and sorcerer society.

In combat, Yuji combines hand-to-hand fighting with cursed energy. His athleticism makes him particularly dangerous at close range, while his growth as a sorcerer reflects his ability to adapt under extreme pressure.

The official anime describes him as an exceptionally rare person capable of withstanding Sukuna’s poison and identifies him as a first-year Tokyo Jujutsu High student. TVアニメ「呪術廻戦」公式サイト

2. Megumi Fushiguro

Megumi Fushiguro is a first-year student at Tokyo Jujutsu High and one of Yuji’s closest companions. He entered the school already classified as a Grade 2 sorcerer, highlighting his unusual ability for someone so young. TVアニメ「呪術廻戦」公式サイト

Megumi uses the Ten Shadows Technique, an inherited technique associated with the Zenin family. It allows him to summon different shikigami through shadows, giving him a highly flexible combat style.

Unlike Yuji’s instinctively compassionate outlook, Megumi is selective about whom he believes should be saved. Beneath his restrained personality is a powerful desire to protect people he personally considers good.

His relationships with Yuji, Gojo, his sister Tsumiki, and the Zenin family make him important far beyond his role as a student.

3. Nobara Kugisaki

Nobara Kugisaki completes the original first-year trio alongside Yuji and Megumi.

Coming to Tokyo from a rural community, Nobara is confident, outspoken, competitive, and determined to live according to her own values. Her strong sense of identity distinguishes her from characters motivated primarily by clan expectations or jujutsu traditions.

Her Straw Doll Technique uses tools such as a hammer, nails, and straw dolls to channel cursed energy. Techniques including Resonance allow her to attack targets through an appropriate connection.

Nobara’s friendships with Yuji and Megumi bring a more ordinary human dynamic to the otherwise dangerous lives of the first-year students. The official anime lists her as a Grade 3 sorcerer when she enters Tokyo Jujutsu High. TVアニメ「呪術廻戦」公式サイト

4. Satoru Gojo

DetailInformation
RoleTeacher and special-grade sorcerer
AffiliationTokyo Jujutsu High
TechniquesLimitless
Special TraitSix Eyes

Satoru Gojo is Yuji, Megumi, and Nobara’s teacher and one of the most important sorcerers in Jujutsu Kaisen.

Gojo combines the inherited Limitless technique with the extraordinarily rare Six Eyes. This combination gives him exceptional control over cursed energy and spatial manipulation.

His abilities include applications of Limitless such as Infinity, Blue, Red, and Hollow Purple. His Domain Expansion, Unlimited Void, overwhelms its target with information.

Yet Gojo matters for more than combat strength. He openly dislikes many traditions governing jujutsu society and believes education can produce a generation capable of changing that system. His investment in talented young sorcerers therefore has ideological as well as personal importance.

His playful, provocative personality contrasts sharply with his seriousness when protecting students or confronting threats.

5. Maki Zenin

Maki Zenin was born into the influential Zenin family but lacks the cursed energy normally expected of a clan sorcerer.

Instead, she possesses extraordinary physical capabilities connected to Heavenly Restriction and becomes highly skilled with cursed tools. Her inability to naturally see curses initially requires her to use special glasses.

Maki is stubborn, disciplined, and determined to prove that the Zenin clan’s judgment of her is wrong. Her strained relationship with the clan—particularly her twin sister Mai—gives her ambitions a deeply personal dimension.

The official anime identifies Maki as a second-year Tokyo student and emphasizes her physical ability and skill with cursed tools. TVアニメ「呪術廻戦」公式サイト

6. Toge Inumaki

Toge Inumaki is a second-year Tokyo student descended from users of Cursed Speech.

His technique gives spoken commands supernatural force. Because ordinary conversation could unintentionally affect other people, Toge limits his everyday vocabulary largely to rice-ball ingredients.

This unusual speech pattern can make him appear mysterious at first, but his actions reveal a considerate personality. His restricted vocabulary is fundamentally a safety measure designed to protect others.

Cursed Speech can be extremely effective, although powerful commands place considerable strain on Toge himself. The official anime lists him as a semi-Grade 1 sorcerer. TVアニメ「呪術廻戦」公式サイト

7. Panda

Despite his appearance, Panda is not an ordinary animal.

He is a mutated cursed corpse created by Masamichi Yaga and possesses independent intelligence, emotions, and a distinct personality. The official anime explicitly identifies Yaga as Panda’s creator. TVアニメ「呪術廻戦」公式サイト

Panda is friendly and humorous but also perceptive about human emotions. His unusual existence demonstrates how sophisticated Yaga’s cursed-corpse techniques are.

As a Tokyo Jujutsu High student, Panda forms a close group with Maki and Toge.

8. Yuta Okkotsu

Yuta Okkotsu is the protagonist of Jujutsu Kaisen 0 and later becomes one of the most important special-grade sorcerers in the main story.

Initially timid and isolated, Yuta enters the jujutsu world because of his connection to Rika. His experiences at Tokyo Jujutsu High—particularly his friendships with Maki, Toge, and Panda—help him develop confidence and a desire to protect others.

Yuta possesses enormous cursed energy and is associated with Copy, allowing him access to other cursed techniques under particular conditions.

His gentle personality contrasts with how dangerous he can become when someone he cares about is threatened.

9. Masamichi Yaga

Masamichi Yaga serves as the principal of Tokyo Jujutsu High and was formerly Gojo, Geto, and Shoko’s teacher.

His specialty involves cursed corpses, with Panda representing his most remarkable creation.

Yaga’s intimidating appearance hides a thoughtful educator who evaluates whether aspiring sorcerers possess genuine reasons for risking their lives. His position connects multiple generations of Tokyo Jujutsu High characters.

10. Shoko Ieiri

Shoko Ieiri is a doctor associated with Tokyo Jujutsu High and a former classmate of Gojo and Geto.

Her greatest practical importance comes from her ability to use reverse cursed technique for healing others—an uncommon and highly valuable skill in jujutsu society.

Shoko tends to remain calm and detached compared with the more dramatic personalities around her. Her shared history with Gojo and Geto also makes her an important connection to their student years.

11. Kiyotaka Ijichi

Kiyotaka Ijichi works in a supporting role for Tokyo Jujutsu High.

Rather than serving primarily as a frontline fighter, he helps coordinate missions, transportation, communication, and barriers known as Curtains.

Ijichi is cautious and easily stressed, particularly around Gojo, but he remains dependable despite the dangerous circumstances surrounding sorcerer work.

12. Akari Nitta

Akari Nitta is an assistant manager associated with Tokyo Jujutsu High and the older sister of Arata Nitta.

Her responsibilities include supporting sorcerers during missions rather than functioning as one of the principal combatants.

Characters such as Akari help show that jujutsu society depends on logistical and administrative personnel as well as powerful fighters.

13. Atsuya Kusakabe

Atsuya Kusakabe is a Grade 1 sorcerer and instructor associated with Tokyo Jujutsu High.

Unlike characters defined by spectacular innate techniques, Kusakabe relies heavily on swordsmanship, cursed energy fundamentals, and New Shadow Style.

His cautious personality can appear comical, but it also reflects an unusually realistic understanding of how dangerous high-level jujutsu battles are.

14. Kinji Hakari

Kinji Hakari is an upperclassman at Tokyo Jujutsu High whose personality and methods have put him at odds with jujutsu authorities.

Hakari is confident, confrontational, and obsessed with what he calls “fever”—the passion or excitement that drives people.

His complicated cursed technique is closely connected to his Domain Expansion, Idle Death Gamble, which uses pachinko-inspired rules. Successful outcomes can temporarily provide extraordinary advantages.

Hakari’s unconventional worldview makes him very different from more traditional sorcerers.

15. Kirara Hoshi

Kirara Hoshi is closely associated with Hakari and shares his distrust of conservative jujutsu authorities.

Kirara’s technique, Love Rendezvous, uses a star-based marking system that controls how marked targets can approach one another.

Rather than relying on straightforward offensive force, the technique requires opponents to understand its rules, making Kirara especially effective at controlling movement and access.

The official anime’s Culling Game character material includes both Hakari and Kirara among the expanding cast. TVアニメ「呪術廻戦」公式サイト

Kyoto Jujutsu High Characters

16. Aoi Todo

Aoi Todo is one of Kyoto Jujutsu High’s strongest students and possesses an enormous personality to match his physical strength.

His Boogie Woogie technique allows him to switch the positions of qualifying targets, traditionally activated by clapping. Simple in concept but extremely versatile, it becomes especially dangerous because Todo possesses excellent tactical intelligence.

Todo develops an unusual bond with Yuji after discovering they share similar preferences in women. Beneath the comedy, Todo becomes an important influence on Yuji’s development as a fighter.

17. Noritoshi Kamo

Noritoshi Kamo is a student from the prestigious Kamo clan.

He uses Blood Manipulation, the clan’s inherited technique, enabling sophisticated control of his own blood for offensive and supportive applications.

Noritoshi initially appears highly formal and duty-driven. Much of his outlook is shaped by his complicated position within the Kamo family and the responsibilities placed upon him.

18. Kasumi Miwa

Kasumi Miwa is a Kyoto student specializing in swordsmanship and New Shadow Style.

Compared with many sorcerers from prestigious families, Miwa comes across as ordinary, sincere, and practical. Financial concerns partly motivate her career.

Her admiration for Gojo and tendency to become caught in situations beyond her intended role provide comic moments, but she also demonstrates genuine loyalty to her classmates.

19. Mai Zenin

Mai Zenin is Maki’s twin sister and a Kyoto Jujutsu High student.

Her Construction technique allows her to create physical matter using cursed energy, although doing so is demanding.

Mai’s difficult relationship with Maki reflects the damaging expectations of the Zenin clan. The official anime identifies her as Ogi Zenin’s daughter and Maki’s twin. TVアニメ「呪術廻戦」公式サイト

20. Momo Nishimiya

Momo Nishimiya is a Kyoto student capable of manipulating her broom through Tool Manipulation.

Her aerial mobility makes her useful for reconnaissance and support.

Momo is particularly close to Mai and understands the pressures female sorcerers face within traditional jujutsu society.

21. Kokichi Muta

Kokichi Muta operates the mechanical body known as Ultimate Mechamaru.

A Heavenly Restriction leaves his real body extremely fragile while granting him enormous cursed-energy range and reserves. Through Puppet Manipulation, he remotely controls mechanical puppets for combat and communication.

His physical isolation strongly influences his personality and motivations, particularly his desire to experience an ordinary life alongside his classmates.

The official anime treats Kokichi Muta and Ultimate Mechamaru as connected identities rather than unrelated characters. TVアニメ「呪術廻戦」公式サイト

22. Arata Nitta

Arata Nitta is a Kyoto Jujutsu High student and Akari Nitta’s younger brother.

His technique can prevent existing injuries from worsening, making him particularly valuable in dangerous situations. It does not simply erase damage, so its usefulness depends heavily on timing.

23. Utahime Iori

Utahime Iori is a teacher at Kyoto Jujutsu High.

Responsible and comparatively serious, Utahime frequently becomes irritated by Gojo’s teasing. Their contrasting personalities create a recurring comedic dynamic.

She nevertheless remains a capable sorcerer and committed instructor who cares about her students.

24. Yoshinobu Gakuganji

Yoshinobu Gakuganji is the elderly principal of Kyoto Jujutsu High and represents the more conservative side of jujutsu leadership.

His combat style is unusually musical, using an electric guitar in conjunction with cursed energy.

Gakuganji’s adherence to traditional authority frequently puts his priorities in tension with Gojo’s desire to reform jujutsu society.

Independent And Special-Grade Sorcerers

25. Kento Nanami

Kento Nanami is a Grade 1 sorcerer and one of Yuji’s most important adult mentors.

His Ratio Technique divides a target into proportional sections and creates a weak point at a specific ratio. Combined with his disciplined fighting style, it makes Nanami an extremely efficient combatant.

Nanami previously left jujutsu work for an ordinary corporate job before eventually returning. That experience contributes to his practical, unsentimental outlook.

Although outwardly stern, Nanami cares deeply about younger sorcerers and believes children should not have to carry the burdens of adults.

26. Mei Mei

Mei Mei is an independent Grade 1 sorcerer who approaches jujutsu work with an openly financial mindset.

Her Black Bird Manipulation gives her control over crows, making them useful for surveillance and combat. She is also physically capable and fights with a large axe.

Mei Mei’s pragmatic worldview makes her morally distinct from idealistic characters such as Yuji.

27. Ui Ui

Ui Ui is Mei Mei’s younger brother and frequently accompanies her.

He is intensely devoted to his sister and follows her directions closely. Although initially appearing primarily as an attendant, his abilities make him useful in complex sorcerer operations.

28. Yuki Tsukumo

Yuki Tsukumo is one of Jujutsu Kaisen’s special-grade sorcerers.

Unlike sorcerers who concentrate mainly on exorcising individual curses, Yuki is interested in eliminating the conditions that cause curses to arise.

Her technique, Star Rage, allows virtual mass to be added to herself and her shikigami Garuda.

Yuki’s unconventional research and independent attitude place her outside the normal jujutsu establishment.

29. Master Tengen

Master Tengen is an extremely important figure responsible for maintaining major barriers associated with jujutsu society.

Tengen possesses an immortality-related cursed technique but must periodically deal with the consequences of continued existence.

Although not a conventional frontline protagonist, Tengen’s barriers and knowledge influence the structure of the jujutsu world itself.

30. Takuma Ino

Takuma Ino is a sorcerer who deeply respects Nanami.

His Auspicious Beasts Summon technique allows him to channel different supernatural abilities while wearing a mask.

Ino’s admiration for Nanami shapes his professional standards and desire to receive recognition from someone he considers trustworthy.

Hidden Inventory And Past Characters

31. Suguru Geto

Suguru Geto is one of the most important figures in Gojo’s past and the central antagonist of Jujutsu Kaisen 0.

As a student, Geto was Gojo’s close friend. His Cursed Spirit Manipulation technique allows him to absorb and command curses he has defeated under appropriate conditions.

Geto begins as a sorcerer committed to protecting ordinary humans, but his experiences progressively challenge that belief. His changing ideology becomes central to his relationship with Gojo.

Understanding Geto is essential to understanding both Gojo’s character and several larger conflicts within Jujutsu Kaisen.

32. Toji Fushiguro

Toji Fushiguro is Megumi’s father and a notorious combatant known as the Sorcerer Killer.

Born into the Zenin family without cursed energy, Toji possesses an extreme Heavenly Restriction that grants extraordinary physical senses and capabilities.

His lack of cursed energy makes him unusually difficult for sorcerers to detect through conventional means. Combined with exceptional weapon skill and careful planning, this allows him to challenge opponents who would normally seem untouchable.

Toji’s relationship with the Zenin clan and Megumi has consequences extending well beyond his own appearances.

33. Riko Amanai

Riko Amanai is the Star Plasma Vessel whom Gojo and Geto are assigned to protect during their student years.

Although her supernatural role dominates the mission surrounding her, Riko is presented as an ordinary young person with friendships, attachments, and personal desires.

Her relationship with her caretaker Misato Kuroi is particularly important.

34. Misato Kuroi

Misato Kuroi serves as Riko Amanai’s caretaker.

Her relationship with Riko resembles a family bond more than a purely professional arrangement. Kuroi’s devotion helps emphasize the personal life that exists behind Riko’s status as the Star Plasma Vessel.

35. Yu Haibara

Yu Haibara is a former Tokyo Jujutsu High student and Kento Nanami’s classmate.

Optimistic and friendly, Haibara provides a striking contrast to Nanami’s more reserved personality.

Though not one of the franchise’s primary fighters, his place in Nanami’s past gives him considerable emotional significance.

36. Shiu Kong

Shiu Kong is a broker associated with Toji Fushiguro.

Rather than fighting as a conventional jujutsu sorcerer, he operates within the underground network connecting clients and dangerous individuals.

His role helps illustrate the less formal economy that exists around curses and sorcerer-related work.

The official Hidden Inventory character roster includes Gojo, Geto, Shoko, Yaga, Haibara, Nanami, Mei Mei, Utahime, Riko, Kuroi, Shiu Kong, and Toji. TVアニメ「呪術廻戦」公式サイト

Zenin Clan Characters

37. Naobito Zenin

Naobito Zenin is a senior member and head of the Zenin clan during much of the story.

He uses Projection Sorcery, which divides a second into 24 predetermined frames and allows extremely rapid movement when its rules are followed correctly.

Despite his age, Naobito is an experienced and formidable sorcerer. His position also makes him central to the politics surrounding one of the three major jujutsu families.

38. Naoya Zenin

Naoya Zenin is a prominent member of the Zenin clan and another user of Projection Sorcery.

Arrogant and deeply invested in the clan’s hierarchy, Naoya openly looks down on people he considers inferior.

His hostility toward Maki and his ambitions within the Zenin family make him a direct embodiment of many values she rejects.

39. Ogi Zenin

Ogi Zenin is the father of Maki and Mai.

A skilled swordsman and senior Zenin clan member, Ogi strongly embraces the family’s traditional values.

His relationship with his daughters demonstrates how status, inherited techniques, and clan expectations can damage family bonds within jujutsu society.

40. Jinichi Zenin

Jinichi Zenin is another high-ranking Zenin clan combatant and member of the Hei.

He represents the clan’s elite fighting establishment and is closely tied to its internal power structure.

Naoya, Ogi, and Jinichi are all included in the official anime’s later character roster. TVアニメ「呪術廻戦」公式サイト

Death Painting Characters

41. Choso

Choso is one of the Cursed Womb: Death Paintings and the eldest brother of Eso and Kechizu.

He uses Blood Manipulation, applying it through techniques such as Piercing Blood and other forms of controlled blood attacks.

What most strongly defines Choso, however, is his devotion to his brothers. Family loyalty influences his decisions far more than conventional ideas of heroism or villainy.

The official anime roster groups Choso with Eso and Kechizu. TVアニメ「呪術廻戦」公式サイト

42. Eso

Eso is another Death Painting brother.

He possesses the Rot Technique, which can inflict dangerous decomposition-like effects through his blood.

Despite his frightening abilities, Eso shows genuine concern for his brothers, reinforcing the strong familial connection among the Death Paintings.

43. Kechizu

Kechizu is the youngest of the three prominent Death Painting brothers introduced early in the series.

His abilities work together with Eso’s Rot Technique, making the brothers particularly dangerous when fighting as a pair.

Kechizu’s bond with Eso and Choso becomes important to Choso’s later motivations.

Cursed Spirits And Major Antagonists

44. Mahito

Mahito is a special-grade cursed spirit born from humans’ hatred and fear of one another.

His Idle Transfiguration technique manipulates the shape of souls. Because changing the soul also changes the body, Mahito can grotesquely transform humans or reshape himself.

Mahito is curious, cruel, playful, and fascinated by the nature of souls. His worldview directly clashes with Yuji’s respect for human life, making their conflict particularly personal.

45. Jogo

Jogo is a powerful cursed spirit associated with humanity’s fear of volcanic and earth-related disasters.

His abilities center on intense heat, flames, and volcanic attacks.

Jogo strongly believes curses are more authentic beings than humans. Despite his arrogance, his ambitions are connected to a larger desire for curses to replace humanity.

46. Hanami

Hanami is a special-grade cursed spirit closely associated with nature.

Its abilities manipulate plant life and cursed-energy-draining vegetation, while its unusual durability makes it difficult to defeat through ordinary attacks.

Hanami’s hostility toward humans is connected to environmental destruction, giving its motivations a different emphasis from Mahito’s experimentation or Jogo’s pride.

47. Dagon

Dagon is another member of the group of powerful cursed spirits allied with Mahito and Jogo.

Its abilities have an aquatic theme, and its Domain Expansion creates an environment filled with ocean imagery and attacking shikigami.

Dagon initially appears far less humanoid than its companions but becomes much more dangerous as its development progresses.

48. Ryomen Sukuna

DetailInformation
TitleKing of Curses
RoleCentral supernatural antagonist
TechniqueShrine
ConnectionYuji Itadori

Ryomen Sukuna is one of the defining figures of Jujutsu Kaisen.

Known as the King of Curses, Sukuna is connected to cursed objects that preserve his power across time. Yuji’s ability to survive consuming one of Sukuna’s fingers establishes their central connection.

Sukuna is cruel, selfish, intelligent, and overwhelmingly confident. He does not function as Yuji’s friendly inner power source; their interests are fundamentally opposed.

His technique, Shrine, provides devastating cutting attacks, while his Domain Expansion, Malevolent Shrine, demonstrates an exceptionally advanced form of jujutsu.

Sukuna’s interest in Megumi also becomes an important thread in the larger narrative.

49. Kenjaku

Kenjaku is an ancient sorcerer whose technique enables the transplantation of the brain into different bodies.

This ability allows Kenjaku to assume other identities across long periods of time, making discussions of the character particularly sensitive to spoilers.

At a high level, Kenjaku functions as a major architect behind several large-scale events in the series. The character combines extensive jujutsu knowledge with long-term planning and experimentation.

The official anime materials list Kenjaku separately in the Culling Game character roster. TVアニメ「呪術廻戦」公式サイト

50. Junpei Yoshino

Junpei Yoshino is a student whose difficult personal circumstances bring him into contact with Mahito and eventually Yuji.

He is quiet, isolated, and interested in movies. His developing friendship with Yuji provides one of the story’s earliest examples of how easily ordinary people can become entangled with curses.

Junpei’s shikigami, Moon Dregs, provides a supernatural means of fighting.

51. Haruta Shigemo

Haruta Shigemo is a curse user who participates in conflicts against jujutsu sorcerers.

His technique stores small miracles from his everyday life without his conscious awareness and can use them to help him survive dangerous situations.

Haruta is opportunistic and particularly willing to attack vulnerable opponents.

52. Jiro Awasaka

Jiro Awasaka is an experienced curse user encountered during the Shibuya conflict.

His technique, Inverse, reverses the relative effect of attacks within certain limits, making powerful blows less effective against him while changing how opponents must approach combat.

53. Mimiko Hasaba

Mimiko Hasaba is one of two sisters rescued by Suguru Geto after suffering mistreatment because of their jujutsu abilities.

She subsequently becomes intensely loyal to him and joins his group.

Her relationship with Nanako is central to her identity and motivations.

54. Nanako Hasaba

Nanako Hasaba is Mimiko’s twin sister and another devoted follower of Geto.

She uses a technique associated with her smartphone camera. Like Mimiko, her loyalty stems from Geto’s role in rescuing the sisters.

The official Shibuya character material lists both Mimiko and Nanako among Geto’s associated curse users. TVアニメ「呪術廻戦」公式サイト

Culling Game Characters

55. Hiromi Higuruma

Hiromi Higuruma is a former defense attorney who becomes a Culling Game player.

His experiences with the legal system strongly shape his worldview and cursed technique. His Domain Expansion, Deadly Sentencing, creates a courtroom-like process involving the shikigami Judgeman.

Rather than functioning as a simple combat arena, the domain applies rules involving accusations, evidence, and verdicts.

Higuruma’s intelligence, moral frustration, and unusual abilities make him one of the most distinctive later JJK characters. The official anime cast identifies Tomokazu Sugita as his Japanese voice actor. TVアニメ「呪術廻戦」公式サイト

56. Fumihiko Takaba

Fumihiko Takaba is a struggling comedian who becomes involved in the Culling Game.

His cursed technique, Comedian, can turn situations Takaba genuinely considers funny into reality under its particular conditions.

This gives him one of the strangest abilities in Jujutsu Kaisen, especially because his comedic instincts affect how the technique operates.

The anime’s official cast credits Satoshi Tsuruoka as Takaba’s Japanese voice actor. TVアニメ「呪術廻戦」公式サイト

57. Hajime Kashimo

Hajime Kashimo is an incarnated sorcerer from an earlier era who participates in the Culling Game.

His cursed energy possesses electrical characteristics, making even ordinary physical exchanges extremely dangerous.

Kashimo is intensely battle-focused and searches for opponents capable of satisfying his desire to test his strength.

The official anime roster includes Kashimo among its later Culling Game cast. TVアニメ「呪術廻戦」公式サイト

58. Reggie Star

Reggie Star is an incarnated sorcerer and Culling Game participant who forms his own group.

His Contractual Re-Creation technique allows him to reproduce items or services represented by receipts and contracts he possesses.

Reggie combines this unusual ability with tactical thinking, making him a particularly troublesome opponent rather than relying only on raw strength.

59. Takako Uro

Takako Uro is an incarnated sorcerer encountered in the Sendai Colony.

Her Sky Manipulation technique treats the sky as though it were a tangible surface that can be distorted. This enables her to redirect attacks and manipulate space around opponents.

Her background connects her to an earlier era of jujutsu and conflicts that predate the modern cast.

60. Ryu Ishigori

Ryu Ishigori is another powerful Culling Game participant encountered in Sendai.

He is distinguished by exceptionally high cursed-energy output and can release devastating blasts known as Granite Blast.

Ryu approaches battle as something capable of satisfying a deep sense of unfulfillment. This appetite for a truly satisfying fight shapes both his personality and combat behavior.

The official anime’s Culling Game character page includes Higuruma, Takaba, Reggie, Kashimo, Uro, Ishigori, and other new participants as the anime expands into this storyline. TVアニメ「呪術廻戦」公式サイト

Who Are The Main JJK Characters?

The central cast changes somewhat as the story expands, but several characters form its narrative core.

Yuji Itadori is the primary protagonist and the character through whom readers initially enter jujutsu society. Megumi Fushiguro and Nobara Kugisaki form his original first-year team, while Satoru Gojo serves as their teacher and a major influence on the larger jujutsu world.

Ryomen Sukuna is inseparably connected to Yuji’s introduction to jujutsu, while characters including Yuta Okkotsu, Maki Zenin, Choso, Suguru Geto, Kenjaku, and Mahito occupy major positions in different portions of the broader narrative.

Shueisha’s official Jujutsu Kaisen page prominently highlights Yuji, Megumi, Nobara, Gojo, Sukuna, Maki, Toge, and Panda among the series’ representative cast. Shonen Jump

Important JJK Character Groups And Families

The cast becomes much easier to understand when characters are viewed through their affiliations.

Tokyo Jujutsu High connects Yuji, Megumi, Nobara, Maki, Toge, Panda, Yuta, Hakari, Gojo, Yaga, Shoko, and other important sorcerers.

Kyoto Jujutsu High includes Todo, Kamo, Miwa, Mai, Momo, Kokichi, Arata, Utahime, and Gakuganji. The official anime maintains separate character groupings for Tokyo and Kyoto personnel. TVアニメ「呪術廻戦」公式サイト

The Zenin clan connects Maki, Mai, Naobito, Naoya, Ogi, Jinichi, Megumi, and Toji through complicated family relationships.

The Death Paintings include Choso, Eso, and Kechizu, whose brotherhood is central to their motivations.

Meanwhile, Mahito, Jogo, Hanami, and Dagon form an important group of intelligent cursed spirits whose objectives bring them into conflict with jujutsu society.

How The JJK Characters Connect

Jujutsu Kaisen’s cast is unusually interconnected.

Megumi links Tokyo Jujutsu High to both Toji Fushiguro and the Zenin clan. Maki and Mai provide another perspective on the same family’s harsh traditions, while Naobito, Naoya, Ogi, and Jinichi demonstrate its internal hierarchy.

Gojo provides a different generational bridge. His student years connect him with Geto, Shoko, Nanami, Haibara, Utahime, and Yaga, while his adult role connects him with Yuji, Megumi, Nobara, Yuta, Maki, Panda, and Toge.

Yuji serves as another major connecting point. His relationship with Sukuna places him at the center of the supernatural conflict, while his friendships and battles connect him with Todo, Nanami, Mahito, Choso, and many other characters.

These overlapping networks of teachers, students, siblings, clans, friends, and enemies are a major reason the JJK character roster can initially seem complicated.

Frequently Asked Questions

Who Is The Main Character In JJK?

Yuji Itadori is the primary protagonist of Jujutsu Kaisen. The story introduces the jujutsu world largely through Yuji after his encounter with a powerful cursed object changes his life. Shueisha’s official series description similarly centers its premise on Yuji entering the world of curses. Shonen Jump

Who Are The Main JJK Characters?

Yuji Itadori, Megumi Fushiguro, Nobara Kugisaki, Satoru Gojo, and Ryomen Sukuna are among the most recognizable central characters. Yuta Okkotsu, Maki Zenin, Suguru Geto, Choso, and other figures become particularly important in different story arcs.

How Many JJK Characters Are There?

This guide covers 60 notable JJK characters, but that is not the total number of characters who exist in Jujutsu Kaisen. The manga and anime contain additional supporting characters, curse users, cursed spirits, historical sorcerers, and Culling Game participants.

Who Is The Strongest Jujutsu Sorcerer?

Within the story, Satoru Gojo is explicitly presented as an exceptionally powerful modern sorcerer. His Limitless technique and Six Eyes are central to his abilities. Strength comparisons involving characters from different periods or circumstances can depend heavily on story context, so they should not be treated as simple numerical rankings.

What Are The Main JJK Schools?

Tokyo Jujutsu High and Kyoto Jujutsu High are the two principal educational institutions represented in the core cast. Their students meet prominently during the Kyoto Sister-School Goodwill Event, while both schools contribute sorcerers to larger conflicts.

Are Maki And Mai Zenin Sisters?

Yes. Maki and Mai Zenin are twin sisters born into the Zenin family. Their very different responses to their upbringing form an important part of both characters’ stories. The official anime identifies Mai as Maki’s twin and Ogi Zenin’s daughter. TVアニメ「呪術廻戦」公式サイト

Are Megumi And Toji Fushiguro Related?

Yes. Toji Fushiguro is Megumi Fushiguro’s father. Their family history also links Megumi to the Zenin clan.

Who Are The Main Cursed Spirits In JJK?

Mahito, Jogo, Hanami, and Dagon are among the most prominent intelligent cursed spirits. Each represents a different kind of fear or negative human relationship with the world and possesses distinct supernatural abilities.

Who Is Yuta Okkotsu?

Yuta Okkotsu is the protagonist of Jujutsu Kaisen 0 and a special-grade jujutsu sorcerer. He studies at Tokyo Jujutsu High and has close relationships with Maki, Toge, and Panda. He later becomes an important figure in the main Jujutsu Kaisen storyline.

Who Are The Newer Culling Game Characters?

Characters associated with the Culling Game include Hiromi Higuruma, Fumihiko Takaba, Reggie Star, Hajime Kashimo, Takako Uro, Ryu Ishigori, and others. The official anime character material has expanded to include these later figures, and official cast announcements have confirmed performers for several of them. TVアニメ「呪術廻戦」公式サイト

Conclusion

The JJK characters are connected by far more than battles against curses. Students and teachers form relationships across generations, major families such as the Zenin clan shape individual lives, cursed spirits develop their own philosophies, and ancient sorcerers complicate the conflicts faced by the modern cast.

Yuji Itadori provides the central human perspective, while Megumi, Nobara, Gojo, Yuta, Maki, Sukuna, Geto, Choso, and other major characters expand the story into questions of family, responsibility, identity, power, and the traditions governing jujutsu society.

Understanding those connections makes the large Jujutsu Kaisen cast considerably easier to follow. The 60 profiles above cover major protagonists, students, teachers, sorcerers, Zenin family members, Death Paintings, cursed spirits, antagonists, and Culling Game participants rather than suggesting that only 60 characters exist in the entire franchise. The anime’s official character roster continues to organize its expanding cast by story arc and affiliation as later material is adapted. TVアニメ「呪術廻戦」公式サイト
