Hikasa Rento

**Rento Hikasa** (ひかさ れんと) is a character in *Jujutsu Kaisen*. He is a first-year at Tokyo Metropolitan Curse Technical College.

## Appearance

Rento is a young man of average height and appears to have a slender build when wearing his typical clothing but actually has a lean and muscular physique. He also has mint green eyes and mid-length red hair that reaches to his neck. When his cursed technique is working at full capacity, his pupils turn into hearts and his eye color changes to pink.

Casually, Rento wears a white suit with slight black and yellow accents. He is typically only seen wearing "normal" clothes when the target of his cursed technique asks him to do so. When Rento enrolled into the Tokyo Metropolitan Curse Technical College, he began wearing his version of the uniform; a black suit not too dissimilar from one you would find at a wedding.

## Personality

Rento is a true free spirit – outgoing, openhearted, and open-minded. With his lively, upbeat approach to life, he stand out in any crowd. But even though he can be the life of the party, He doesn’t just care about having a good time. He has a deep longing for meaningful, emotional connections with other people. Imaginative and upbeat, Rento knows how to transform even the most ordinary moments into a special occasion. And for him, nearly any opportunity to spend time with friends *is* a special occasion. He cherishes his friends, and he’d hate to take a single moment together for granted.

Friendly and outgoing, He is devoted to enriching his relationships and social life. But beneath his sociable, easygoing exteriors, he has a rich, vibrant inner life as well. Without a healthy dose of imagination, creativity, and curiosity, a he wouldn't be himself. In his unique way, Rento can be quite introspective. He can’t help but ponder the deeper meaning and significance of life – even when he should be paying attention to something else. He believes that everything – and everyone – is connected, and he lives for the glimmers of insight that he can gain into these connections.

Even in moments of fun, Rento wants to connect emotionally with others. Few things matter more to him than having genuine, heartfelt conversations with the people he cherishes. He believes that everyone deserves to express their feelings. His empathy and warmth create spaces where even the most timid spirits can feel comfortable opening up. Rento’s intuition may lead him to read far too much into other people’s actions and behaviors. Instead of simply asking for an explanation, he may end up puzzling over someone else’s desires or intentions. This kind of social stress is what keeps the harmony-focused young man awake at night.

His lonely childhood led him to become addicted to the small amounts of affection that he received. This developed into a deep yearning for love and affection. So, he is constantly looking for *the one* that can fill the void in his hear. When Rento is interested in someone, he rarely holds back. He tends to fall in love easily – and he falls *hard*. He showers his new flame with affection, trusting that the devotion and passion that he feels is real. He often sinks into the joys of a relationship’s honeymoon stage, be it one-sided or not, constantly looking for ways to prove his dedication and delight his partner.
