Highlights

  • Jujutsu Kaisen gained international success and fame for its beautiful animation, action-packed plot, and wonderfully developed main and side characters.
  • The second season of Jujutsu Kaisen has already started to air and has surpassed fans’ expectations with its high-quality animation.
  • The main characters of Jujutsu Kaisen will continue to undergo trials that help them grow stronger physically and mentally.



Jujutsu Kaisen is among the most famous shonen properties of the last decade. Technically, the series got started as Tokyo Metropolitan Curse Technical School, a one-volume Jump Giga manga that would retroactively be rebranded as Jujutsu Kaisen 0, a prequel to its more popular sequel. In 2018, Gege Akutami’s Jujutsu Kaisen debuted in Weekly Shonen Jump, going on to produce more than 20 volumes and 250 chapters over roughly six years. While not done yet, Gege Akutami announced plans to bring the manga to a close in 2024.

Unsurprisingly, the manga’s success birthed an anime adaptation, with MAPPA handling the process. Producing two seasons (so far) and a movie based on Jujutsu Kaisen 0, the anime has been generally a massive success, attracting plenty of discussions and accolades during both eras. Season 2 was one of the best anime of 2023.

Best Anime Of 2023, Ranked

2023 produced more than a hundred anime, and these series were the best of all of them.

Regardless of somebody’s feelings about the franchise as a whole, there is no denying that Jujutsu Kaisen has captured the cultural zeitgeist and struck a chord with viewers. Part of that comes down to the fantastic and consistent fight sequences, which arguably have set a new standard for TV anime; however, each main character of Jujutsu Kaisen has also contributed to this success. Yuji Itadori and Satoru Gojo tend to attract most of the attention, but they are hardly the only memorable personalities. Let’s go through the ages, birthdays, and heights of these characters, along with other information.

Updated on August 13, 2024, by Mark Sammut: While a sequel season has yet to be confirmed, one has to assume it is only a matter of time before the main Jujutsu Kaisen characters make their comeback, at least in animated form. The manga is still ongoing.

This article’s intro has been updated to reflect the anime and manga’s current state.


Jujutsu Kaisen Character Chart

Jujutsu Kaisen as the Zodiac Signs

This action-packed series features an exciting roster of characters that appear throughout JJK’s two seasons, all packing valuable skills and abilities. The story follows Yuji Itadori, who is thrown into the world of curses and sorcerers. Alongside friends in his new school, he will learn the art of jujutsu, harness his cursed power, and help defeat the strongest curse to ever exist.

Below are the main characters of Jujutsu Kaisen and their official age, height, and birthday. The ages listed below are based on their first appearance in the year 2018.

Click on a character’s name to jump immediately to their entry, which contains further information about them.



¹ Panda’s age hasn’t been confirmed, but fans speculate that he is approximately 16-17 years old, just like his friends and classmates Maki and Toge.

² Sukuna was born over a thousand years in the past, with no official birthday confirmed.

³ Mahito is a cursed spirit, and thus he doesn’t technically have a birthday or age.

⁴ Kenjaku has been alive for countless centuries, but his birthday remains unknown.


Yuji Itadori

Jujutsu Sorcerer

  • Age: 15
  • Height: 5′ 8″ tall (173 cm)
  • Born: March 20th
  • Japanese Voice Actor: Junya Enoki
  • English Voice Actor: Adam McArthur
  • Debut Anime Episode: Season 1, Episode 1; “Ryomen Sukuna”


Yuji Itadori starts the anime as a peppy 15-year-old boy, the appropriate age for a first-year in a Japanese high school. His weight during season one is 176 lbs (80 kg). Yuji might look a bit too ripped and muscular for a young teenage track and field star, but he’s the protagonist in a shonen anime, so it’s excusable. As the anime’s protagonist, Yuji helps drive the story forward, even if he can occasionally be overshadowed by other characters. He’s passionate, fueled by his emotions, strong-willed, and full of youthful determination – a combination that is fairly typical for a battle shonen anime lead.

Jujutsu Kaisen: 15 Powerful Quotes By Yuji Itadori

Yuji Itadori is the source of many inspirational and thought-provoking quotes in Jujutsu Kaisen. Here are some of his best.

Yuji’s story effectively begins when he swallows one of Sukuna’s fingers, propelling him fully into the world of Jujutsu Sorcerers. While initially seeming destined to become little more than a vessel for the King of Curses, Yuji’s strong will allows him to retain control over his body, although it comes at the cost of establishing a dangerous contract with Sukuna.


Best Power: Itadori possesses an enormous amount of Cursed Energy thanks to the presence of Sukuna. The young sorcerer has a lot of potential, which Gojo Satoru recognized. So he took Itadori under his wing and trained him so that he could bring Sukuna under control.

Sukuna

King Of Curses

  • Age: 1000+
  • Height: 5′ 8″ (173 cm)
  • Born: Unknown
  • Japanese Voice Actor: Junichi Suwabe
  • English Voice Actor: Ray Chase
  • Debut Anime Episode: Season 1, Episode 1; “Ryomen Sukuna”


Known as the King of Curses, Sukuna is over 1000 years old and continues to live on in various forms, making him the oldest character in the series. He doesn’t have an official birthday, since that would be a bit difficult to track down after a millennium. His height changes with whichever demonic form he takes on. Currently, in the anime, he shares Yuji’s height at 5′ 8″ (173 cm), since he came into existence in Yuji’s body.

For the most part, Sukuna is a bit-part player in Jujutsu Kaisen‘s arcs, in the sense that he does not get regular screen time. However, his presence looms over the entire story, and that goes beyond his situation with Yuji. So many characters are not only driven by a desire to collect Sukuna’s fingers but also live in fear or reverence of the King of Curses (sometimes, it is both). Sukuna is a deadly force that is not to be messed with.

Best Power: Sukuna is by far the most powerful curse in the series. He possesses an immeasurable amount of cursed energy that he can use to obliterate his enemies with ease. He has yet to showcase his true strength, but it won’t be long before he does.


Megumi Fushiguro

Jujutsu Sorcerer

  • Age: 15
  • Height: 5′ 9″ (175 cm)
  • Born: December 22nd
  • Japanese Voice Actor: Yuma Uchida
  • English Voice Actor: Robbie Daymond
  • Debut Anime Episode: Season 1, Episode 1; “Ryomen Sukuna”

Megumi starts Jujutsu Kaisen at the same age as Yuji, studying alongside the pink-haired boy at the challenging Tokyo Jujutsu High. His birthday makes him a high-achieving Capricorn, which explains his strong determination, eagerness to surpass others, and desire to be a high-achieving jujutsu sorcerer like his sensei. He is also compassionate to others but doesn’t want to be obvious about it. Though he’s only a single inch taller than Yuji, his spiky hair adds a couple of extra inches.


In the anime’s early episodes, Megumi can be hard to pin down, coming across as an aloof figure who is unnecessarily hostile towards Yuji. However, out of Jujutsu Kaisen‘s divisive trio, he is arguably the most intriguing, and he has a strong set of core beliefs that shine through whenever he is pushed beyond his limits.

Best Power: Megumi Fushigoro may not have the same amount of cursed energy as his teammate, Itadori, but his overall skills are just as impressive. Fushigoro’s Ten Shadows technique allows him to summon different types of Shikigami, each with varying power levels.

Nobara Kugasaki

Jujutsu Sorcerer


  • Age: 16
  • Height: 5′ 3″ (160 cm)
  • Born: August 7th
  • Japanese Voice Actor: Asami Seto
  • English Voice Actor: Anne Yatco
  • Debut Anime Episode: Season 1, Episode 2; “For Myself”

Nobara is slightly older than the two boys (Megumi and Yuji) she works alongside. She begins her training in Tokyo as a confident, wacky, and talented junior sorcerer. Nobara is a valuable asset to the world of sorcery, and with a bit of physical and emotional training, her skills could have taken her far. Her loud, funny, and fierce personality aligns with her star sign, being a Leo. Nobara is the shortest jujutsu sorcerer in training, standing at only 5′ 3″.

Jujutsu Kaisen: 6 Impressive Things Nobara Did As A Sorcerer

Nobara remained an inspiring Jujutsu Kaisen character till the end, and here are some of the most impressive things she did in her lifetime.

Nobara is among the more polarizing Jujutsu Kaisen characters, and that is almost entirely down to her journey rather than her personality. Strong-willed and boasting a fun fighting style, she is generally a blast whenever the story allows her to shine, which does not happen all that often.


Best Power: There is no doubt that Nobara is a skilled sorcerer who has proven multiple times that she is not to be trifled with. Nobara’s Straw Doll technique is rather unique, and it allows her to damage another person with the help of cursed energy.

Satoru Gojo

Jujutsu Sorcerer

  • Age: 28
  • Height: 6′ 3″ (190 cm)
  • Born: December 7
  • Japanese Voice Actor: Yuichi Nakamura
  • English Voice Actor: Kaiji Tang
  • Debut Anime Episode: Season 1, Episode 1; “Ryomen Sukuna”


This special-grade jujutsu sorcerer was born back in 1989. Though still very young, Gojo has insane skills from not only his many years of training as a jujutsu sorcerer but also due to simply being far more gifted. He’s way taller than his students, standing at a towering height that makes him even tougher and bulkier. Satoru can move quicker than the wind, proving that his massive height doesn’t slow him down. Gojo is a Sagittarius, which is fitting for his leadership skills and determined nature.

Gojo is enigmatic, arrogant, funny, and prone to bouts of laziness. Although he cares about other people to an extent, his overconfidence can often put people in danger; in fact, Gojo’s willingness to shrug his responsibilities directly led to Yuji eating Sukuna’s finger.

Best Power: Gojo Satoru is widely recognized as the strongest Jujutsu sorcerer in the world. In the very first season, Gojo proved his strength as he made a mockery of special-grade curses. Gojo’s Limitless and Infinity are the two greatest weapons in his vast arsenal.


Masamichi Yaga

Jujutsu Sorcerer

  • Age: 47
  • Height: Unknown
  • Born: Unknown
  • Japanese Voice Actor: Takaya Kuroda
  • English Voice Actor: Keith Silverstein
  • Debut Anime Episode: Season 1, Episode 2; “For Myself”

Masamichi Yaga is the principal of Tokyo Jujutsu High, making him an integral part of the storyline. Given that he is the principal of Jujutsu High, it is not surprising for him to be among the best Jujutsu sorcerers in the entire series.

Jujutsu Kaisen Characters We Can’t Wait To See Animated

These Jujutsu Kaisen characters would be among the main highlights of the anime when they are animated.

Masamichi Yaga is a serious man who is always focused on his job. However, he also has a soft spot for his students. When the situation calls for it, Masamichi Yaga doesn’t shy away from expressing his emotions. Furthermore, he is one of the few characters with a strong sense of morality.


Best Power: Masamichi Yaga is an expert at using cursed energy to create puppets. Over time, he became so adept that he began to create self-sustaining puppets like Panda.

Maki Zenin

Jujutsu Sorcerer

  • Age: 16
  • Height: 5′ 7″ (170 cm)
  • Born: January 20th
  • Japanese Voice Actor: Mikako Komatsu
  • English Voice Actor: Allegra Clark
  • Debut Anime Episode: Season 1, Episode 5; “Curse Womb Must Die -II-”

Maki is a second-year at Tokyo Jujutsu High, with impressive skills that blow her younger classmates away! She was born on the first day of the sign Aquarius, making her a very resourceful, incredibly loyal, and hardworking young woman. She doesn’t like to open up to just anyone but becomes a great friend once people get to know her.


In the prequel manga, Maki starts off as 15 years old. She is a tough fighter and battles unlike any other in the show, proving that a character doesn’t have to be older or male to be one of the best.

Best Power: Maki’s lack of cursed energy did not stop her from becoming a sorcerer. Her strongest attribute is her physical strength, which is superior to that of most of the characters in Jujutsu Kaisen.

Toge Inumaki

Jujutsu Sorcerer

  • Age: 17
  • Height: 5′ 5″ tall (164 cm)
  • Born: October 23rd
  • Japanese Voice Actor: Koki Uchiyama
  • English Voice Actor: Xander Mobus
  • Debut Anime Episode: Season 1, Episode 5; “Curse Womb Must Die -II-”


Toge is a second-year sorcerer in training alongside Maki at Tokyo Jujutsu High. He is the shortest of the boys studying at the school, only two inches taller than the tiny Nobara.

These episodes of Jujutsu Kaisen have rocked the series so far, with plot twists and art that draw fans in.

Toge first appears as a 16-year-old in the prequel manga but is 17 by the start of the anime. He is an intelligent, hard-working Scorpio with an interesting curse that impairs his speech. Though he can only speak in sushi terms, he is a cool character with plenty of potential.

Best Power: Toge’s Cursed Speech is an amazing ability that allows him to infuse his speech with cursed energy, allowing him to make others obey his commands.

Panda

Jujutsu Sorcerer


  • Age: Approx. 16
  • Height: 6’7″ (200 cm)
  • Born: March 5th
  • Japanese Voice Actor: Tomokazu Seki
  • English Voice Actor: Matthew David Rudd
  • Debut Anime Episode: Season 1, Episode 5; “Curse Womb Must Die -II-”

Panda is the third second-year who trains with Toge and Maki at their school. He is abnormally tall for a panda, standing at a whopping 6’7″ (200 cm) in height. Of course, he isn’t a real panda, but a friendly curse created with the appearance of a panda.

This big brawler was brought into the world on March 5th, sharing the Pisces zodiac sign with Yuji. His age hasn’t been confirmed, but it is likely that he is 16 or 17 years old, just like Maki and Toge. Of course, that might be something different in panda years.

Best Power: Panda is a cursed corpse created by Masamichi Yaga. He has a total of three cores, each giving him a different amount of power.


Kento Nanami

  • Age: 28
  • Height: 6′ 0.5″ (184 cm)
  • Born: July 3rd
  • Japanese Voice Actor: Kenjiro Tsuda
  • English Voice Actor: David Vincent
  • Debut Anime Episode: Season 1, Episode 8; “Boredom”

Kento Nanami is a mirror to Satoru Gojo, but with a completely opposite personality. He is the same age as Satoru but seems to exude a much more mature and chilled-out personality. He’s tall and very well-built, slightly bigger than his white-haired counterpart.

Kento might not seem sensitive or gentle like the Cancer sign he was born under, but he is very passionate about his morals and goals and trains hard to keep the peace.


Best Power: Nanami is a Grade 1 sorcerer, and almost all the young ones look up to him. Nanami has an impressive amount of Cursed energy, but he uses it sparingly. His Ratio Technique enables him to create a weak spot on the body of his enemy.

Aoi Todo

Jujutsu Sorcerer

  • Age: 18
  • Height: 6′ 3″ (190 cm)
  • Born: September 23rd
  • Japanese Voice Actor: Subaru Kimura
  • English Voice Actor: Xander Mobus
  • Debut Anime Episode: Season 1, Episode 8; “Boredom”

Aoi Todo made his debut in the first season of the anime. Standing at 6′ 3″, Todo is among the tallest characters in the series. From the get-go, Todo seemed a bit eccentric. Despite his impressive physique, Todo doesn’t appear to come off as intimidating. In fact, his behavior is quite akin to Itadori’s. He loves to fight strong people, and he is obsessed with an idol named Takada-chan.


He played a pivotal role in the victory of the Jujutsu sorcerers against the curses in the first season. Given his interesting personality and immense strength, Todo is one to keep an eye on.

Best Power: Todo’s Boogie Woogie is a remarkable technique that lets him change the position of any person within his range. The only drawback of this ability is that it requires Todo to clap his hands.

Mai Zenin

Jujutsu Sorcerer

  • Age: 17
  • Height: 5′ 7″ (170 cm)
  • Born: January 20th
  • Japanese Voice Actor: Marina Inoue
  • English Voice Actor: Laura Post
  • Debut Anime Episode: Season 1, Episode 8; “Boredom”


Mai Zenin is a second-year student at Kyoto Jujutsu High. She is also the younger twin sister of Maki Zenin, but the two have different personalities. Throughout the first season, the two siblings could be seen arguing and trying to get the better of each other.

Mai has access to cursed energy, and she can use it to fight her enemies. Despite the fact that Maki has extremely low, cursed energy, she makes up for it with her physical abilities. Another thing that separates the two sisters is their determination. Mai is more passive, while Maki is extremely assertive.

Best Power: Mai Zenin is not nearly as strong as her sister, and neither does she have any impressive power in her locker. Her only noteworthy skill is Construction, which lets her create something from nothing. Her present limit is one bullet per day.

Yuta Okkotsu

Jujutsu Sorcerer


  • Age: 17
  • Height: Unknown
  • Born: March 7th
  • Japanese Voice Actor: Megumi Ogata
  • English Voice Actor: Kayleigh McKee
  • Anime Debut:Jujutsu Kaisen 0: The Movie

Yuta Okkotsu only appeared once in the anime, but he was the highlight of the critically acclaimed Jujutsu Kaisen 0. Yuta Okkotsu is an extremely talented Jujutsu sorcerer, and he is a major supporting character throughout the series. Most fans know about Yuta from the movie, and they see his growth from a timid person to a bold and determined sorcerer.

Jujutsu Kaisen 0: 7 Best Quotes

Jujutsu Kaisen 0 has several memorable quotes. These examples are some of the best of the bunch.

Yuta shares a few similarities with the main protagonist, Itadori Yuji. The two are extremely caring and are willing to put their bodies on the line to protect their friends. It took Yuta a while, but he eventually mastered cursed energy with continuous training. When it comes to combat if given too much time and space, Yuta can decimate his opponent in the blink of an eye.


Best Power: Yuta Okkotsu’s strongest ability is called Copy. It allows him to replicate the innate techniques of others. He can use all the copied techniques without any significant drawbacks.

Mahito

Cursed Spirit

  • Age: Unknown
  • Height: 5′ 10½” (179 cm)
  • Born: Unknown
  • Japanese Voice Actor: Nobunaga Shimazaki
  • English Voice Actor: Lucien Dodge
  • Debut Anime Episode: Season 1, Episode 7; “Assault”

The main antagonist of the series, Mahito is a cursed spirit, and thus he doesn’t technically have a birthday. Though fans speculate he is only a year or so old, he has the appearance of a man in his 20s.


Mahito has the ability to shape souls into any form he wishes, including his own, so he could definitely alter his height at any time if he desired to. He reigns as the tallest and the shortest character in the series since he can change whenever he wants, but his typical blue-haired form stands at a nice, tall stature.

Best Power: Mahito is a malevolent character whose goal is the eradication of humanity from the face of the earth. He has many allies, but it would be fair to say that none are as cruel as him. Mahito’s Idle Transfiguration is a fearsome power with which he can disfigure the bodies of other people.

Suguru Geto

Jujutsu Sorcerer & Curse User


  • Age: 27
  • Height: 6′ 3″ tall (190 cm)
  • Born: February 3rd
  • Japanese Voice Actor: Takahiro Sakurai
  • English Voice Actor: Lex Lang
  • First Anime Appearance: Season 1, Episode 5; “Curse Womb Must Die -II-”
  • Full Anime Debut Episode: Season 2, Episode 1; “Hidden Inventory” (Also appears in Jujutsu Kaisen 0)

Suguru was originally a jujutsu sorcerer alongside Satoru Gojo until he broke away and used his cursed techniques for evil reasons, working alongside dangerous curses to get what he wants. He is slightly younger than the white-haired sorcerer, but not any less talented or skilled in using cursed techniques. In terms of height alone, his 6′ 3″ height makes him a perfect match to go up against Gojo.

Jujutsu Kaisen: 7 impressive things Suguru Geto did before meeting Yuta

These are some notable feats Suguru Geto had under his belt before meeting Yuta.

Best Power: Suguru Geto has the reputation of being the most malevolent curse user. He has a deep-rooted prejudice against non-sorcerers, which led to him killing over a hundred people. Suguru Geto’s ability to manipulate cursed spirits makes him extremely dangerous.


Kenjaku

Curse User

  • Age: 1000+
  • Height: Unknown
  • Birthday: Unknown
  • Japanese Voice Actor: Takahiro Sakurai
  • English Voice Actor: Lex Lang
  • Debut Anime Episode: Season 1, Episode 5; “Curse Womb Must Die -II-”

Kenjaku is an Ancient Sorcerer who also serves as one of the primary antagonists of Jujutsu Kaisen. He has managed to exist for centuries with the help of his special power. Through the years, Kenjaku has taken over the bodies of many people and completely tarnished their reputation.

When Kenjaku takes over a person’s body, stitches appear around the head of the individual. He is extremely vile and dangerous, as evidenced by the many acts of horror that he has committed over the years.


Best Power: Overall, Kenjaku is among the most powerful characters in Jujutsu Kaisen. He is intelligent and possesses a plethora of information about curses and curse techniques. Due to this reason, it is possible for him to use almost any skill without any problems. Needless to say, Kenjaku’s intellect is by far his best power.

Choso

Cursed Womb Death Painting

  • Age: 150
  • Height: Unknown
  • Birthday: Unknown
  • Japanese Voice Actor: Daisuke Namikawa
  • English Voice Actor: Ray Chase
  • Debut Anime Episode: Season 1, Episode 24; “Accomplices”


Choso is a Cursed Womb: Death Painting, and he was introduced in the first season of the anime. Initially, he worked for Kenjaku and Mahito, but he changed his mind after learning that Yuji was his brother. Choso was extremely protective of his siblings, and he was willing to go to great lengths to ensure that no harm would come to them.

Unlike most villains, Choso was not malevolent and didn’t want to kill people needlessly. As previously stated, the deaths of his two brothers served as motivation for him to fight alongside Kenjaku.

Best Power: Choso’s strongest asset is his Blood Manipulation. He can use the technique in a variety of ways. Choso could launch a stream of blood that was powerful enough to cut through solid metal. In addition to this, Choso could use Blood Manipulation in a variety of other ways.

Toji Fushiguro

Sorcerer Killer


  • Age: Unknown
  • Height: Unknown
  • Birthday: December 31st
  • Japanese Voice Actor: Takehito Koyasu
  • English Voice Actor: Nicolas Roye
  • Debut Anime Episode: Season 2, Episode 1; “Hidden Inventory”

Toji Fushiguro won over the fans in the second season of Jujutsu Kaisen. The famed assassin did not rely on too many Cursed Spirits to fight, instead opting to use his excellent physical abilities. Toji was also rather shrewd, and he carefully planned his every move.

Toji was not the best of fathers, nor was he a good human being. He worked for dubious people and did whatever they asked of him as long as they were paying him enough. He was also an arrogant individual who believed that no one could match him in combat. Unfortunately, this came back to bite him when he tried to fight Gojo Satoru again instead of running away. Toji was unable to win in their second meeting, which led to his death.


Best Power: In combat, there weren’t many people who could hold their ground against Toji Fushiguro. Despite being born without any cursed energy, Toji made a name for himself throughout the jujutsu world. He was proficient at wielding all kinds of weapons, making it almost impossible to get the better of him.
