Jujutsu Kaisen has more than 200 named characters across the manga, the anime, and the prequel film Jujutsu Kaisen 0. This page covers the 60 most important characters — every main student, teacher, cursed spirit, and Culling Game player fans search for.
Who are the main characters in JJK?
The core cast is Yuji Itadori, Megumi Fushiguro, and Nobara Kugisaki — the three first-years of Tokyo Jujutsu High — alongside their teacher Satoru Gojo. Ryomen Sukuna, the King of Curses sealed inside Yuji, is the series' central antagonist.
Who is the strongest JJK character?
Satoru Gojo is repeatedly called the strongest sorcerer of the modern era thanks to Limitless and the Six Eyes. Ryomen Sukuna, the King of Curses, is his only true rival, and their clash in Shinjuku is treated as the strongest-versus-strongest battle of the series.
Who are all the JJK teachers?
At Tokyo Jujutsu High the teachers are Satoru Gojo and Atsuya Kusakabe, with Masamichi Yaga as principal and Shoko Ieiri as the school doctor. At Kyoto Jujutsu High, Utahime Iori is the homeroom teacher and Yoshinobu Gakuganji is the principal.

What is Gojo's cursed technique?
Gojo inherited the Limitless technique, which manipulates space at the atomic level — Infinity stops attacks before they reach him, while Blue, Red, and Hollow Purple weaponize it. Paired with the Six Eyes, it powers his Domain Expansion, Unlimited Void.
About JJK Characters
Jujutsu Kaisen (JJK) features a diverse cast of characters, each with unique cursed techniques and compelling backstories. Created by Gege Akutami, the series follows Yuji Itadori and his fellow jujutsu sorcerers as they battle cursed spirits to protect humanity.
From the overwhelmingly powerful Satoru Gojo to the cunning Ryomen Sukuna, each character brings depth to the JJK universe. The students of Tokyo Jujutsu High, including Megumi Fushiguro and Nobara Kugisaki, develop their abilities while facing increasingly dangerous threats from special grade cursed spirits and curse users.
Reading JJK alongside other shounen? Gojo's role straddles "ideal mentor" and "limit the student must surpass" — a pattern explored in the anime character archetypes guide. New to the series and not sure whether to start with the show or the prequel film Jujutsu Kaisen 0? The watch order guide covers JJK's recommended path. For how characters like Gojo and Sukuna fit into wider "who's stronger" arguments, see the power scaling reader's guide.
