Given that Jujutsu Kaisen is a stereotypically Shonen anime, most of the characters are in their teens or twenties. That said, each character's respective age depends on their positions in the Jujutsu Technical School. The main set of characters are first-year students who work alongside their second-year peers to fight cursed spirits. The Jujutsu Tech faculty are older — ranging from people in their twenties to people far older.

The cursed spirits also vary in age and many have ambiguous ages. For instance, the ages of Mahito, Jogo, and Hanami are completely unknown. Most importantly, the fact that the main characters are adolescents allows the possibility of a time-skip in the future of the series. As it stands, however, the bulk of the storyline — excluding all the various flashbacks — takes place in the year 2018. In other words, the JJK ages essentially remain the same throughout the narrative.

Updated on February 15, 2024, by Ajay Aravind: Jujutsu Kaisen is arguably one of the most influential anime series of the 21st century. Although the manga storyline is gradually inching toward its inevitable conclusion, anime fans will be happy to know that there are several seasons left. As such, we've updated this article with more information about all the JJK character ages.

REVIEW: Jujutsu Kaisen: Cursed Clash Is Strong in Spirit, But Weak in Form
Jujutsu Kaisen: Cursed Clash is the series’ first console video game, yet the 3D anime fighter feels like it was made with the mobile mindset.

Aoi Todo is a third-year student at Kyoto Jujutsu High. Even though he didn't come from a family of sorcerers, Aoi beat all the odds and became a powerful Grade 1 sorcerer. He's one of the series' more controversial characters, but his strength as a sorcerer is undeniable. Even though Aoi Todo comes off as a typical battle-crazed brute looking for chaos, he's more intelligent than he seems.

He even taught Yuji how to better hone his cursed energy, helping the latter to land a Black Flash. After meeting Yuji, Aoi declared him not only his best friend, but his brother. This fraternal relationship is consistently maintained, seeing how Aoi frequently helps his bro fight against various villains. In fact, Aoi is even willing to sacrifice his limbs if it means Yuji can win.

Yuta Okkotsu is a second-year student at Kyoto Jujutsu High. He was the protagonist of Jujutsu Kaisen 0, but he's a supporting character in the main series. Unfortunately, he spent most of his childhood curled up inside an emotional shell, at least until he met Gojo. He entered Jujutsu High as a Special Grade sorcerer because of Rika, the vengeful spirit that haunted him.

Although he eventually found a way to let her pass on to the afterlife, he still retained Rika's Cursed Energy. Currently in the anime, Yuta is studying abroad in Africa with Miguel in the anime. Yuta continually proves himself a strong sorcerer, mostly because he wants to save lives. Since he has immeasurable cursed energy, Yuta has the potential to become stronger than Satoru Gojo.

The man calling himself "Suguru Geto" in the anime isn't actually him. The real Suguru Geto died at age 27 following the events of Jujutsu Kaisen 0. He used to be a student at Jujutsu High alongside Satoru Gojo, but was suspended after his twisted beliefs led him down the path of instability and violence.

Suguru Geto began to hate non-sorcerers, and even believed that they should be exterminated. In fact, he went so far as to believe that ordinary people were nothing more than "monkeys." During his time at Jujutsu High, he was close with Satoru Gojo — who still acknowledges him as his one and only best friend. Geto's body was later taken over by a villain whose name is still not revealed in the anime, but is instead referred to as Pseudo-Geto.

New Video Interviews MAPPA Staff Over Jujutsu Kaisen Claims
MAPPA animators share their experiences with Animator Dormitory Channel, confirming many stories that came out during Jujutsu Kaisen Season 2.

Cursed spirits don't actually have ages. However, experienced sorcerers assume Mahito only manifested recently. This patchwork curse prides himself on having spawned from humanity's vitriol and hatred for each other, which means some version of him should have existed since the dawn of the species. That said, Mahito has a childlike attitude about his evil deeds.

He toys with humans and talks about human experimentation nonchalantly, almost as though it's the same as running errands. However, his cursed technique is scarily strong and equally grotesque. With Idle Transfiguration, Mahito can touch someone's soul and horribly disfigure their physical appearance. Mahito really enjoys watching people suffer, but ends up paying the price for his hubris after killing Kento Nanami and Nobara Kugisaki.

Gakuganji is the principal of Kyoto Jujutsu High. He's also one of the upper echelons of jujutsu society. He's a 76-year-old diehard traditionalist who strictly adheres to all of jujutsu's most archaic laws, even if it means executing innocents like Yuji Itadori. Gakuganji even attempts to assassinate Yuji during the Goodwill Event, although he claims that he doesn't really despise the boy.

This often puts him at odds with Satoru Gojo, who has no qualms about blatantly disrespecting him and putting him on blast for his outdated beliefs. It's unknown what grade of sorcerer Gakuganji is, but the audience can assume he's strong considering his status. Gakuganji's inherited technique pretty much uses his body like a guitar amplifier. When he plays the electric guitar, the soundwaves manifest in cursed energy, instantly stunning all of his opponents.

Kiyotaka Ijichi is one of the faculty members of the Tokyo school and often looks out for the main group. Kiyotaka is 26 years old but definitely appears much older. He's significantly younger than the majority of the other staff, but his gaunt appearance makes him look more like a man in his 40s. This is probably because Kiyotaka is vastly overworked and consistently stressed out.

Kiyotaka's sunken cheeks and tired eyes imply that he probably is in deep need of a vacation. Throughout his time on Jujutsu Kaisen, Kiyotaka has become like a parental figure for Yuji. He always tries to take care of the novice sorcerer and keep him safe. However, he always faces every situation with apprehension, especially when things don't go according to plan. Gojo often teases Kiyotaka for his constantly anxious behavior.

Jujutsu Kaisen: Domain Expansion, Explained
Domain Expansion is the ultimate power move for jujutsu sorcerers. But what is a Domain Expansion, and how is it used in battle?

Kento Nanami is another character who looks older than he actually is. Nanami is only a year older than Kiyotaka, at 27 years old. However, compared to Satoru, it's easy to see why everyone assumes Nanami is the older of the two. That said, Nanami also appears older than his age because of his character archetype — an overworked sorcerer who can't wait to get off work and absolutely resents overtime.

He's serious, stoic, and comes off as a typical businessman. Nanami has a no-nonsense personality, but he also has a softer side and looks out for the younger sorcerers. He develops a somewhat amicable relationship with Yuji; at one point, he stops complaining when the boy refers to him without the proper honorifics. Nanami's death would consequently spur Yuji on to greater heights.

Panda's age isn't officially confirmed. However, he's probably around the same age as his fellow second-years, meaning that he is at least 17 years old. It's unknown if cursed corpses — even those in the shape of pandas — age differently than humans. That said, with the reveal of his backstory, it's almost certain that he's the right age for his school grade.

Panda was created by the principal of Tokyo Jujutsu High, Masamichi Yaga. Even if Panda isn't a 17-year-old like his peers, he certainly acts like the average teenager. Fans love him for his occasionally sarcastic attitude, not to mention his frequent frivolity. These two traits have no place on the battlefield, but Panda knows exactly what emotions to leave behind before a serious fight.

Toge Inumaki is a second-year student at Tokyo Jujutsu High, and he's 17 years old. Sometimes, the school is referred to as Metropolitan Curse Technical College, rather than as a high school. This confuses some fans, and the word "college" leads some to believe the characters are older than they actually are. In reality, it's just a technical school structured like a typical high school.

Regardless of his age, Inumaki quickly became a fan favorite despite being a man of few words. He only speaks in rice-ball ingredients because his inherited Cursed Speech technique brings his words to life. He comes from the Inumaki clan, recognizable by their "Snake Eyes and Fangs" sigil. Inumaki has this marking on the edges of his lips and his tongue. All things considered, Inumaki is extremely protective of his friends.

Why More Anime Need Prequel Movies Like Jujutsu Kaisen 0
Jujutsu Kaisen 0 is a prequel film that builds upon the anime's lore, and this approach of turning back the clock should be adopted by more anime.

Maki is 17 years old and is a second-year student at Jujutsu High. Her classmates are Panda, Inumaki, and Yuta Okkotsu — the latter is currently studying abroad in the anime. Maki has a younger twin named Mai, who studies at Kyoto Jujutsu High. Maki can't see cursed energy without her glasses, but she's proven herself a strong sorcerer and an excellent combatant.

Since she can't see cursed energy, the Zenin clan deemed her a failure. By continuing to hone her abilities and never giving up, Maki rebelled against her clan. Among the second-year students, Maki is a natural leader and definitely the brains of the group. She's also supremely stubborn, but this character trait regularly manifests as willpower, boosting Maki's already formidable combat prowess.

Nobara Kugisaki is one of the three main characters who joined Yuji and Megumi as a new first-year at Tokyo Jujutsu High. Nobara always felt the call to leave her small hometown in the countryside for better opportunities. Nobara is 15 years old, and her birthday falls on August 7th. She's older than Yuji by five months, and Megumi by four.

Using a hammer and nails to annihilate cursed spirits, Nobara has proven herself the ultimate badass. She prides herself on her looks and on being a strong fighter. As one of the most determined combatants in Jujutsu Kaisen, Nobara doesn't allow her relative weakness to get in the way of challenging overpowered villains like Eso, Kechizu, and even Mahito. Fans are still holding on to the hope that she will somehow come back to life.

Megumi Fushiguro is another first-year student along with Nobara and Yuji. He was the first Jujutsu High student introduced in the series. Megumi quickly won the hearts of fans with his stoic attitude and interesting philosophy on life. Even though he's a sorcerer for noble reasons, Megumi doesn't consider himself a hero because he thinks that the desire to save others is inherently selfish.

Megumi is also a Grade 2 sorcerer. Some of the most powerful characters in the series are enthralled by his potential — including Satoru Gojo and Sukuna. Megumi inherited the Ten Shadows Technique, which allows him to create various shikigami. In Season 2, Megumi brings out Mahoraga, who gives even Sukuna a challenging fight. It's only a matter of time before Megumi can defeat and control Mahoraga himself.

Sukuna, the King of Curses, is an ancient, powerful being who has been plaguing the world for generations. It is said in legend that Sukuna was a human sorcerer during the golden age of jujutsu, which was over a thousand years ago. This makes him around 1,000 years old, but probably older since the Heian period when he was active stretched between 794 and 1185 CE.

Sorcerers were unable to destroy his body even after he died. As a result, they were left with no choice but to use grave wax to seal his fingers and scatter them all over Japan. Sukuna finally returns when Yuji Itadori swallows the first finger, bringing both the hero and the villain into the spotlight. Since then, Sukuna has been involved in several major incidents across multiple arcs. As such, it seems likely that Yuji is destined to defeat Sukuna at some point.

10 Best Fights in Jujutsu Kaisen (So Far)
Jujutsu Kaisen is full of high-energy fight scenes, with battles starring Yuji, Gojo, and Sukuna being some of the series' best.

Yuji Itadori is the protagonist of Jujutsu Kaisen. He's 15 years old and is another first-year student at Tokyo Jujutsu High. His birthday is on March 20th. Before Yuji swallowed one of Sukuna's fingers, he is just an average high schooler (in terms of academic achievement). On the other hand, Yuji's talent in the athletics domain makes him one of the strongest humans.

Due to his fascination for the supernatural, however, he chooses to join his school's occult club instead of its sports teams. Yuji is truly a shonen protagonist unlike any other, and quickly won the hearts of fans with his unwavering optimism and great sense of humor. Like most other Shone heroes, Yuji's eagerness to save people is the foundation of his entire character. This is partly why he insists on everyone getting a "proper death."

Satoru Gojo quickly became a fan-favorite character, easily stealing the spotlight from the rest of the cast. He's 28 years old, but constantly mistaken for someone much younger because of his youthful appearance and carefree attitude toward life. Nanami is a year younger than him, but everyone assumes he's older because he acts more like a stereotypical adult.

Satoru was once a student at Jujutsu High, but he became a teacher because he seeks to foster a new generation of sorcerers who are just as strong as he is. That said, none of them have even come close to matching his overwhelming power. Satoru Gojo is the strongest sorcerer on the planet, and he's using his family's political leverage and his jujutsu know-how for a good cause.
