Kaito Yuki

**Kaito Yuki** (結木海斗 ()  ()  , *Yūki Kaito*?) is a supporting character in the Jujutsu Kaisen series*.* He is a semi-grade 1 jujutsu sorcerer and first-year student at the Kyoto Jujutsu High after transferring from Fukuoka Jujutsu High alongside Arata Nitta. His former classmate is Saki Rindo.

## Appearance

Kaito is a teenage boy with short and messy black hair, having a short ahoge on top.

He wears a modified jujutsu uniform with knee-high boots and white sleeves with a black line on them.

After his battle against Ogi Zen’in during the Perfect Preparation Arc, he gets a long scar across his neck.

## Personality

Kaito is a stoic, calculated, and sometimes irrational person. He is known for his ability to stay calm in the heat of battle, be it a verbal or physical one. Unlike his former classmate, Saki, Kaito is much calmer and prefers to be outwardly stoic at all times. This approach was further escalated after the death of his and Saki's classmate. After transferring to Kyoto Jujutsu High, he and Norotoshi Kamo's likeminded attitude made them close friends.

However, Kaito is prone to an irrational anger if provoked. During the Shibuya Incident, when Doku teased him about his dead classmate, Kaito immediately lost all composure and lashed out, leaving himself open to attack.

Ever since transferring to Kyoto Jujutsu High, Kaito has had a close bond with his classmates, especially his second-year seniors.

## Abilities and Powers

**Overall Skill Level**: Kaito is a semi-grade 1 jujutsu sorcerer, becoming one during his first year, a title not even his former classmate, Saki Rindo, has been able to to earn. His former principal, Kensuke Nagino, considered him to be able to one day rival Satoru Gojo, the strongest sorcerer of the modern era, and Nozomi Bugendai, the current Star Plasma Vessel, in terms of defensive abilities, both of whom are special grade jujutsu sorcerers. During the Goodwill Exchange Event, he was able to hold off and combat Nozomi for an extended period of time, and even continue fighting during his and Nozomi's attempt to hold of the special grade cursed spirit Hanami.

In the end stages of the Shibuya Incident, Kaito and his fellow Kyoto classmates were able to assist the remaining Tokyo jujutsu sorcerers, with Kaito being able to completely block Kenjaku’s Maximum: Uzumaki with his innate technique, with Kenjaku giving him praise.

During the Perfect Preperation Arc, it is implied that he was able to contend with Ogi Zenin, a powerful special grade 1 sorcerer, though was ultimately unable to defeat him, leading to his and Mai’s defeat.

During the Shinjuku Showdown, Kaito was able to buy enough time against Meirei, one of the strongest sorcerers of the Heian Era, in order for Tsubasa to land a sneak attack.

### Physical Prowess

**Advanced Hand-to-Hand Combatant**: While not on the level of masters like Yuji Itadori, Maki Zen'in, or Nozomi Bugendai, Kaito is a very proficient and experienced martial artist, capable of competing with powerful curse users like Doku, in a hand to hand fight, albeit not very long.

**Immense Speed and Reflexes**: Kaito is extremely fast, capable of covering ground with ease to get in close with his opponents to use his cursed technique, and has very quick reflexes, being able to evade Doku's attempts to use their cursed technique on him.

### **Jujutsu**

Kaito is always at the center of the barriers he creates, not being able to project them directly onto a target, but he is able to control where they will be around him, being able to form fragments at specific points around himself, concentrating as much cursed energy as he wants in them. However, once created, these barriers can be controlled by him. Their fragments, for example, can be fired with great speed against Kaito' targets and, even if the damage caused is not very great, it is still useful for distraction.
