Utahime Iori (JujutsuKaisenRising.0)

**Utahime Iori** (庵 (いおり) 歌 (うた) 姫 (ひめ) , *Iori Utahime*?) is a character in the *Jujutsu Kaisen: The Star, The Blight, and The Rose* series. She is a semi-grade 1 jujutsu sorcerer and student supervisor at Kyoto Jujutsu High. She is a former classmate of Akakoshibai Reikoku and Chikurin Gojo.

## Appearance

Utahime has long blackish-purple hair that extends down her back, with some strands tied behind her head, thin eyebrows, brown eyes and a scar on the right side of her face that crosses the bridge of her nose, given to her by Amon Scythe during the Night Parade of a Hundred Demons. She is slender and of average height.

Utahime wears a traditional miko outfit (consisting of a white kosode and red umanori-styled hakama pants), despite wearing modern brown colored boots.

On her day off, Utahime wears a dark purple baseball hat, white overalls over a black low-cut, long-sleeved shirt, and dark-colored shoes.

In 2006, Utahime wore her hair in two pigtails and had no scar on her face, but still wore the same miko clothes.

## Personality

Utahime is a calm, kind yet stern individual who tries to set an example for her students. However, Satoru Gojo knows exactly how to push her buttons and angers her in almost every exchange they've had. When Satoru told her she couldn't be a traitor because she was too weak, Utahime threw her cup of tea at him. She often tells him to respect his elders because she's older than him but he never listens.

Utahime holds a level of personal concern for Oboro Mu, whom she views as something of a son due to him studying with her closely towards the end of his first year and beginning of his second year, bonding with him and even allowing Oboro to copy her cursed technique.

After being attacked and fatally wounded by Amon Scythe, otherwise known as the Boogie Man of Jujutsu Society, she gained a newfound fear of him, believing his evil to be similar to that of Suguru Geto’s and Chiharu Mugenno’s.

## Abilities and Powers

**Overall Skill Level:** Utahime is a capable semi-grade 1 sorcerer who mainly acts as support for her allies. She easily dodged an attack from Haruta Shigemo and was also fast enough to run in front of Kasumi Miwa to protect her from Kenjaku's attack. She has been the subject of praise from Oboro Mu, a special grade sorcerer and the one considered second only to Satoru Gojo, who credits her as an indispensable ally on the battlefield.

During the Night Parade of a Hundred Demons, Utahime was able to exorcise dozens of grade 2 and below cursed spirits, as well as boost the cursed energy output of her allies with her cursed technique. However, when faced with a much more powerful opponent, Utahime could do little to stop him, suffering a scar on her face and fatal wounds to her stomach in the process.

Utahime is a very powerful support role for her allies, being capable of both utilizing her technique and protecting herself simultaneously. During the Shinjuku Showdown, Utahime would be able to properly defend herself, having learned multiple techniques from Oboro in the month prior.
