Kenjaku

Kenjaku is an ancient curse user who has survived for over a thousand years by transplanting his brain into new host bodies.

He is the architect behind the Shibuya Incident, the Culling Game, and the merger of Tengen with humanity.

His boundless curiosity and contempt for everything — human or curse — make him the series' most coldly dangerous mind.

About the Series

Jujutsu Kaisen

"I have existed under countless names. Every era is just another experiment."

The Millennium Schemer

Kenjaku has been manipulating jujutsu society for over a thousand years.

The Shibuya Incident and Culling Game are both moves in a plan centuries in the making.

The Parasite

Every atrocity attributed to Noritoshi Kamo was Kenjaku wearing his face.

His occupation of Geto's body weaponizes Gojo's grief against him.
