Here is everything you need to know about the five oldest Jujutsu Kaisen characters.
Yorozu (Age: 1000+)
Yorozu is known for her confident and wild nature. During the Heian era, which is considered the golden age of jujutsu, she was one of the strongest sorcerers in the Jujutsu Kaisen world. Yorozu possessed an energy-inefficient cursed technique that compelled her to create highly effective tools for battle. Initially, there was some confusion surrounding Yorozu’s gender due to early spoilers suggesting she was male.
However, official translations confirm that Yorozu is indeed a female character. Possessing Tsumiki Fushiguro’s body during the Culling Game, Yorozu chose not to alter her appearance. She wore Tsumiki’s face and dressed in combat attire for her fight against Sukuna.

Kenjaku (Age: 1000+)
Kenjaku is a century-old jujutsu sorcerer who has extended his life by utilizing Brain Migration. This cursed technique lets him possess others by transferring his brain into their bodies. Renowned for his arrogance and exceptional abilities, Kenjaku’s encounters have involved influential figures like Sukuna and Tengen.
Throughout his long existence, he has assumed various identities, most notably Suguru Geto and Kaori Itadori. Serving as the evil mastermind behind the ongoing narrative, Kenjaku strives to advance humanity through cursed energy with the ultimate aim of initiating a jujutsu Golden Age reminiscent of the Heian era.
Ryomen Sukuna (Age: 1000+)
Ryomen Sukuna, the primary antagonist in Jujutsu Kaisen, is an evil Cursed Spirit. He emerged from the depths of human negativity and once ruled as the ultimate King of Curses. Possessing boundless cursed energy, he specializes in techniques like Domain Amplification and Malevolent Shrine. Sukuna’s soul persists within twenty unbreakable cursed fingers, which Yuji Itadori accidentally ingests and becomes Sukuna’s vessel.
The story follows Yuji’s journey to recover and consume all of Sukuna’s fingers while confronting Sukuna’s sadistic, cold-hearted, and morally corrupt nature—rendering him the most formidable and treacherous Cursed Spirit ever encountered in the series. Sukuna is currently in possession of Megumi Fushiguro’s body, who happens to Yuji’s classmate.
Master Tengen (Age: 1200+)
Master Tengen is the most skilled barrier user in Jujutsu Kaisen history. With a distinct appearance that includes an androgynous humanoid form, multiple eyes, and a cylindrical head. Approximately 1200 years ago, during the Nara period, Tengen played a significant role as a Buddhist monk.
Tengen is indispensable in the jujutsu world by upholding protective barriers around both Jujutsu High locations. Despite not excelling in combat abilities, their expertise in barrier techniques combined with immortality makes them an essential figure within the series.
