Kasumi Miwa

**Kasumi Miwa** (Japanese: 三輪 霞) is a character in the *Jujutsu Kaisen* series. She is a second-year at Kyoto Metropolitan Curse Technical College.

## Appearance

Kasumi has long light blue colored hair that extends past her shoulders with the hair in front of her forehead is cut diagonally and some that are the side that is cut just above her chin. She also has dark colored triangle shape eyebrows.

Kasumi wears a suit consisting of a black long sleeved jacket over a light colored button down shirt and a black tie, black pants, black socks, black shoes, and a belt that she uses to hold her sword.

While training, Kasumi has her hair tied in a ponytail and wears a dark colored track suit.

## Personality

Kasumi is a kind hearted, hard-working girl who isn't as jaded as some of her classmates. She's much more restrained, down to earth, and behaves like a normal girl. Kasumi wants to be a Sorcerer to make money and she's a fan of famous Sorcerers like Gojo. Despite being ordered to do so by the principal, Kasumi was uncomfortable about her class' attempt on Yuji's life and apologizes for it later.

She constantly refers to herself as useless and genuinely fears that her weakness causes people's for others trying to protect her. Miwa admits to gripping her sword tightly out of fear of dying, but she is willing to risk her life against a stronger enemy with the right motivation.

## Abilities

**Overall Skill Level**: Kasumi is a Grade 3 Sorcerer capable of using the New Shadow Style swordsmanship techniques. Her lack of an Innate Technique makes it difficult to stand up to some her fellow Jujutsu students, and she was completely overpowered by Maki, someone with advanced levels of physical prowess.

**Expert Swordsman**: Kasumi wields a katana as her main weapon in battle. She has studied Iai sword drawing techniques and is capable of incorporating Jujutsu into her swordsmanship.

### Jujutsu

**Moderate Cursed Energy**: Kasumi does not have her own Innate Technique, but she can see Curses and utilize Barrier Techniques such as Simple Domain. She also has enough control to potentially counter Cursed Speech by flowing Cursed Energy through her brain as Noritoshi instructed.

**New Shadow Style: Simple Domain** (シン・陰流 簡易領域 *Shin Kageryū: Kan'i Ryōiki***?**) begins after Kasumi assumes the proper stance, creating a circle around Kasumi 2.21 meters in diameter. Anything that enters this space can instantly be intercepted by Kasumi's blade. If both of her feet leave the position where her stance began, the Jujutsu is dispelled.

**Batto Sword Drawing** (抜刀 *Battō***?**) surrounds Kasumi's blade while it's in its sheath and rotates it to create incredible speed when she draws the blade. It is the fastest drawing technique of the New Shadow Style.

## Plot

Kasumi comes from a poor family and has two younger brothers. She was the captain of the youth basketball team. In Junior High, she met a mentor who would allow her to become a Jujutsu Sorcerer. Although she had never held a sword before, she trained so that she wouldn't be a burden to her mother.
