Araki Inumaki

Araki Inumaki (あらき 狗巻) is a character in Jujutsu Kaisen. He is a second-year sorcerer at Tokyo Jujutsu High, a descendant of the Inumaki family and is the older brother of Toge Inumaki.

## Appearance

Araki is a skinny boy with light brown hair that just reaches past his ears and was born with Heterochromia eyes, Violet and Sky Blue respectively. He has thin brown eyebrows which surprisingly are easy to move, making it easier for him to communicate through expressions/actions rather than words.

Araki’s school uniform consists of a black snug cardigan with cozy long sleeves, small blood red tie and a black surgical mask all underneath a Cobalt protective jacket. From the waist down, he wears dark grey jeans and white combat boots. Other jujutsu sorcerers compare his outfit as if he was about to commit a bank robbery, which Araki doesn’t mind since he mostly uses his uniform for missions to look more concealed when dealing with an enemy.

While in casual clothes/training, they are the opposite of his uniform. He wears a fiery orange t shirt topped with a navy jacket. From the waist down, he wears emerald shorts and black sneakers. Araki confesses that he is not the best at creating outfit ideas, which leads them to be quite unpredictable.

## Personality

Much like his brother, Araki is described to be more of the quiet, aloof or laidback type of person. But Araki to no surprise was more often than not the opposite. He is mostly an energetic individual who tries his hardest to keep his allies spirits lifted, despite his lack of conversation due to cursed speech restrictions. Araki mainly uses sign language rather than talking in complete code like most cursed speech users, which makes it even harder to understand him than Toge. But he has the ability to also use expressions and actions to make his language more understandable, which has progressed overtime.

While being energetic and outgoing, he has some self insecurity. He feels as if just because he’s in a higher class than most, he underestimates his abilities despite his techniques being somewhat evenly matched to higher grade cursed spirits. Overtime, he constantly worries if he’s going to drop out of Jujutsu High from not being good enough. But thanks to his friends, especially Toge, he has been getting more confident and wishes to surpass even the special grade level. Which is a goal he sets to keep his confidence running.

## Abilities and Powers

**Overall Skills:** Being a Semi-Grade 1 sorcerer, Araki has a high potential when it comes to basic tactics. Although he denies it, It was rumoured that Araki was a supposed candidate to apply for the Grade 1 or even Special Grade level. Due to his self consciousness, Araki was more hesitant to his abilities within him and unknowingly didn’t know the truth about his techniques being compatible to a higher graded cursed spirit. Since then, Araki has worked towards becoming a powerful sorcerer, despite his feelings holding him back.

**Enhanced Strength:** Araki is also noted to have a decent amount of strength. While not on the same level as others, Araki is able to single-handedly use hand to hand combat as a substitute if all his techniques are rendered useless.

**Enhanced Speed:** Another advantage Araki possesses is incredible speed, Araki is able not only to be faster than normal, but has no trouble with pivots, turns, spins or even to run on multiple surfaces such as land, buildings, trees and even in mid-air! This gives him the impression of being compared to a cheetah, which he doesn’t mind the nickname.

## Equipment

 **Subzero Garments** | When dealing with missions involving fire or hot properties, Araki uses and gives these to his companions when in need of fire or hot property immunity. Concealed with his cursed energy, they allow the user to freely walk, run, touch or be absolutely immune to hot surfaces. They take the form of a suitcase that expands into a arctic outfit included with a hooded parka, wool pants, mittens, boots and scarves or earmuffs if needed and will adjust to the temperature around the user so the outfit can be moved in more quickly and frequently to avoid danger.
