Hanyu

**Hanyu** (羽 (は) 生 (にゅう) , *Hanyū*?) is a minor antagonist in the *Jujutsu Kaisen* series. She and her partner Haba are Culling Game players who targeted rookies in the Tokyo No. 1 Colony until they were both defeated by Yuji Itadori.

## Appearance

Hanyu is a relatively tall woman with a muscular build. She has long light-colored hair that reaches down her back and changes shape when she activates her cursed technique. Hanyu has small dark eyes and dark eyebrows that are a different color than her hair.

Hanyu wears a tank top that is cut short to show her stomach, as well as cargo pants and combat boots. She also wears a wristband, pins her walkie-talkie to her shirt, and sports aviator glasses to protect her eyes when flying.

## Personality

Hanyu hasn't showcased much of her personality but after twelve days in the Culling Game, she did what was advantageous in order to survive. This meant exploiting Rin Amai by threatening to kill him if he didn't work as her gofer. She and Haba take advantage of new players and pick them off while they're still disoriented from the initial transfer process. Hanyu had no qualms about taking another life and Rin believes she would've eliminated him eventually.

## Synopsis

At some point in her life, Hanyu was marked by Kenjaku. She partook in the Culling Game after having her brain adjusted to be able to use her cursed technique by Kenjaku on the night of October 31, 2018. At some point before Megumi Fushiguro and Yuji Itadori entered the Tokyo No.1 Colony, she allied herself with Haba and exploited Rin Amai to target new players who entered the colony.

### Culling Game Arc

Hanyu is first seen talking to Rin Amai, asking him why there weren't any new players entering the colony. When Rin replies with frustration, Hanyu shouts at him, threatening to kill him for his apparent disrespect.When Hanyu is alerted of Yuji Itadori's arrival, she immediately charges at him using her hair as a jet, crashing through two buildings. To her surprise, Yuji survived due to his toughness. After Yuji lands on a building, Hanyu contacts Haba, asking him to assist her before being hit by a piece of rubble thrown by Yuji that is imbued with cursed energy, knocking her out.

## Abilities and Powers

**Overall Skill**: Hanyu was marked by Kenjaku at some point in her life and given the capacity to develop a cursed technique in preparation for the Culling Game. She became a sorcerer with less than average power and a hair-based cursed technique. Her technique allows her to move through the air at great speed and hit her opponents at high velocity. It is unknown how many points she has in the Culling Game, and while she can threaten someone powerless like Rin, Hanyu is no match for someone of Yuji's level.
