Yuji Itadori

**Yuji Itadori** (  *Itadori Yūji*?) is the main protagonist of the manga and anime series Jujutsu Kaisen. He is a high school student with exceptional physical abilities, even before becoming a jujutsu sorcerer.

Raised by his grandfather, Yuji is taught the importance of helping others and living a life with meaning. After his grandfather's passing, he inadvertently becomes involved in the world of jujutsu when he discovers a cursed object, one of Sukuna's fingers, and consumes it to protect his friends from a powerful cursed spirit. Upon ingesting Sukuna's finger, Yuji becomes a vessel for the King of Curses, granting him access to a portion of Sukuna's immense power. However, this power comes at a cost, as Yuji is constantly at risk of being possessed by the malicious spirit. Recognizing the potential danger he poses, Yuji resolves to collect and consume all of Sukuna's remaining fingers, thereby eliminating the threat posed by the King of Curses once and for all.

To achieve this goal, Yuji enrolls at the Tokyo Jujutsu High School, where he trains as a jujutsu sorcerer under the tutelage of Satoru Gojo and forms strong bonds with his fellow classmates, Megumi Fushiguro and Nobara Kugisaki. Throughout the series, Yuji faces various challenges and opponents, including powerful cursed spirits and other jujutsu sorcerers, while seeking to balance his newfound powers and responsibilities with his personal mission and desire to protect those around him.

**Weaknesses:** Yuji has limited control over Sukuna and is constantly at risk of being possessed by the malicious spirit, potentially endangering himself and others around him. Furthermore, Yuji is relatively inexperienced in the world of jujutsu, still learning and developing his techniques and understanding of cursed energy, which may sometimes leave him at a disadvantage against more seasoned opponents. In the earlier part of the series, Yuji also grapples with a fear of dying, but as he gains more experience and resolves to fulfill his mission, this mental barrier gradually diminishes.
