Jujutsu Kaisen is a supernatural anime series that follows the story of Yuji Itadori, a high school student who becomes a Jujutsu Sorcerer after swallowing a cursed object. Alongside his friends and mentors, Yuji battles against powerful curses and evil spirits that threaten the safety of humanity.
Jujutsu Kaisen is a thrilling anime series with a wide range of fascinating characters. While the show's main protagonist is Itadori Yuji, occasionally the supporting cast members take center stage. From powerful sorcerers like Kento Nanami to mysterious villains like Fushiguro Todo, Jujutsu Kaisen has no shortage of captivating supporting characters.
10 Miwa
Being a second-year at Kyoto Jujutsu High with monsters such as Aoi Todo and Noritoshi Kamo does not make Miwa stand out. However, this does not reduce her importance as a supporting character. As a grade 3 student sorcerer, Miwa is not weak. Unfortunately, her fans see her differently because of the monsters all around her.
Miwa strives to do all she can to make life easy for her brothers. She trains relentlessly and feels insecure about her perceived weakness. As a supporting character, Miwa plays her role well, especially in the life of Kokichi Muta.
9 Panda
Panda is an artificial being made by the Jujutsu Tech Institute to be a tool for Jujutsu sorcerers. He is a grade 2 sorcerer and a cursed corpse. Despite his inorganic origins, he eats and plays like everyone else. As a creation of Masamichi Yaga, Panda had a difficult time understanding who he was and where he fit into the world of Jujutsu Kaisen. However, he eventually came to accept himself as he was.
As a major supporting character in Jujutsu Kaisen, Panda has a unique personality and a strong sense of loyalty to his friends. He possesses incredible strength and agility, making him a formidable fighter on the battlefield.
8 Inumaki

As a second-year Jujutsu sorcerer, Inumaki has the ability to use "Cursed Speech." He can use this ability to control or harm cursed spirits, but it also has a physical toll on his body. As his words are powerful, Inumaki speaks using rice ball ingredients, which makes it difficult for many to understand him.
Inumaki is known for being quiet and reserved, but he is also a skilled fighter and a loyal friend. Throughout the series, he has been shown putting his life on the line for his friends. Although he does not talk much, his kindness often reaches those in need.
7 Kento Nanami
In a nutshell, Kento Nanami is stoic, powerful, exceptionally analytical, and time-conscious. He serves as a mentor to Itadori Yuji and was a student at Tokyo Jujutsu High before he went on to become a salaryman. However, four years after becoming a salaryman, Kento returned to continue practicing Jujutsu sorcery, which proved effective in taking down his adversaries.
As a supporting character, Kento has a place in the hearts of fans. With his often bored expression, Kento’s blunt and straight-to-the-point personality is endearing, and viewers love him for his quirky personality.
6 Mahito
As an antagonist who has earned the ire of Itadori Yuji, the protagonist with a friendly and cheerful disposition, few wonder what kind of cursed spirit Mahito is. Mahito is a special-grade cursed spirit that seeks the eradication of humanity. He believes cursed spirits should rule in their place, and will do whatever is possible to get them there.
Mahito's unique disposition toward life makes him stand out as a supporting character, despite being a villain. Seeing himself as the manifestation of humans' hatred for each other, Mahito employs a sadistic nature and toys with human emotions.
5 Kokichi Muta
Being born with Heavenly Restriction gave Kokichi Muta an abundance of cursed energy, but a frail, weak body. Because of this, Kokichi could not attend school normally and had to use Mechamru as a proxy. However, this did not deter him from his dream of wanting to walk with his classmates in the sun.
Although he has not been extensively explored in the anime, manga readers have a different view of Kokichi Muta. In the manga, he was insecure about his heavenly restriction curse and made some bad choices that led to some major plot points in the story.
4 Maki Zenin
One of the most prestigious and influential families in the world of Jujutsu sorcery is the Zenin family, of which Maki is a member. Maki was an outcast among her peers since she was born without the ability to see cursed energy.
Maki cannot see cursed energy, but that does not stop her from being strong. She trains her physical abilities to the extreme, becoming an expert in hand-to-hand combat, to make up for her shortcoming. Maki is unquestionably one of the best-supporting characters in the Jujutsu Kaisen anime series. Often, she even steals the spotlight from the main characters with her complex backstory and unique character development.
3 Aoi Todo
Itadori Yuuji’s "brother," Todo, is truly an enigmatic character. He is a grade 1 Jujutsu sorcerer, and an exceptional one at that, despite still being a third-year student at Kyoto Jujutsu High. Todo enjoys fighting and despises being told what to do, even by his superiors. He was introduced to Jujutsu by Yuki Tsukumo, who rocked his world by asking about his tastes in women.
As a supporting character, Todo distinguishes himself by grading people based on their tastes in women. To this point, Todo found Megumi's taste to be bland and beat him up, while he adored Itadori's taste to the point where he thought of him as his brother and best friend.
2 Yuta Okkotsu

Yuta has a tragic backstory, having lost his childhood friend Rika to a curse that he unknowingly created. The curse haunted him, and he became one of the four special-grade Jujutsu sorcerers. Despite losing the curse that bound him to Rika, Yuta regained his special grade status after three months, showing how unique and powerful he is.
In the nime series, Yuta serves as a supporting character who is sent to eliminate Itadori Yuji, but he has other plans. In the prequel movie Jujutsu Kaisen 0, Yuta serves as the protagonist, showing how much nuance and depth are put into his character.
1 Toji Fushiguro
Megumi’s father, Toji, is one of a kind. Spited due to his lack of cursed energy despite being born in the renowned Zenin clan, Toji grew up to hate Jujutsu sorcerers and became known as the sorcerer killer.
Although he lacked cursed energy, Toji was powerful. His physical prowess sharpened to the point where he could detect curses with his heightened five senses. Despite having no cursed energy, Toji was able to match characters like Satoru Gojo and Suguru Geto, even overpowering them. His achievements make him a renowned supporting character, even to the point where he has stolen the limelight from the main characters.
