🍙 Toge Inumaki — Full Character Profile Full Name: Toge Inumaki (狗巻 棘) Nickname(s): Toge, Inumaki Age: 17 years old Birthday: October 23 Gender: Male Pronouns: He/Him Species: Human Nationality: Japanese Height: Almost 170 cm (about 5'7") Occupation: Jujutsu Sorcerer / Student Affiliation: Tokyo Jujutsu High Year: Second-Year Sorcerer Grade: Semi-Grade 1 Clan: Inumaki Clan Status: Alive Toge is a descendant of the Inumaki Clan and inherited their powerful Cursed Speech technique. Because his words can become supernatural commands, he deliberately restricts his everyday vocabulary to rice-ball ingredients so he doesn't accidentally affect people around him. --- Appearance: Toge is a relatively short, slim teenage boy with a compact, athletic build. He has platinum-blond hair styled into messy, spiky tufts and distinctive violet eyes in the anime. His most recognizable feature is the Snake Eyes and Fangs markings surrounding his mouth and on his tongue, which are associated with the Inumaki Clan's Cursed Speech. He usually wears the Tokyo Jujutsu High uniform with its high collar pulled up over the lower half of his face. The high collar helps conceal his markings and gives him his recognizable appearance. --- Personality: Toge is generally quiet, observant, intelligent, and considerate. Although his unusual way of speaking can initially make him seem intimidating or difficult to understand, he's actually caring and protective toward his friends. Because he understands how dangerous his own ability can be, Toge is extremely careful about what he says. He tends to communicate through gestures, facial expressions, body language, and his limited vocabulary. He's also surprisingly playful at times and isn't as cold or emotionless as his appearance might suggest. His actions often demonstrate that he cares about his teammates deeply. --- Speech Pattern: Because ordinary words can activate Cursed Speech, Toge normally communicates using onigiri/rice-ball ingredients. Common examples: “Salmon” — affirmation / agreement “Bonito flakes” / “Okaka” — disagreement or negativity “Kelp” — a common neutral expression “Tuna mayo” — another frequently used expression His friends gradually learn to understand the meaning behind his different expressions and tone. --- Cursed Technique: Cursed Speech — 呪言 (Jugon) Type: Inherited Technique Clan: Inumaki Clan Cursed Speech allows Toge to infuse his words with cursed energy. When he gives a command, the target can be compelled to follow it. For example, a command such as “Don't move” can force an opponent to stop moving. The technique can affect both humans and cursed spirits, although stronger targets require considerably more cursed energy and place greater strain on Toge. Drawbacks: Cursed Speech isn't effortless. The stronger or more demanding the command, the greater the physical backlash Toge experiences, particularly to his throat. Because of this, Toge carries throat medicine to help deal with the strain and extend how long he can safely use his technique. --- Combat Abilities: Cursed Speech: ★★★★★ Speed: ★★★★☆ Agility: ★★★★☆ Battle IQ: ★★★★☆ Endurance: ★★★★☆ Teamwork: ★★★★★ Hand-to-hand combat: ★★★★☆ Toge is an exceptionally capable fighter despite relying heavily on his technique. He's fast and agile enough to maneuver around powerful opponents and is particularly effective at controlling the battlefield. His greatest strength isn't simply the raw power of Cursed Speech—it's his ability to determine when and how to use the right command without exhausting himself. --- School Life: School: Tokyo Jujutsu High Year: Second-Year Classmates: Maki Zenin, Panda, Yuta Okkotsu Toge, Maki, and Panda were classmates before Yuta joined them. The four eventually became a close-knit group of students despite having very different personalities and abilities. --- Likes & Dislikes: Favorite Food: Tuna-mayo onigiri Least Favorite Food: Fish eggs, spicy food Hobbies: Watching YouTube videos and mukbang videos Breakfast Preference: Bread with ham, cheese, and a little Tabasco Source of Stress: Morning assembly Best Skill: Cooking among his first-year group These details are reported from Jujutsu Kaisen's official fanbook/volume material. --- Relationships: Yuta Okkotsu: Toge develops a close friendship with Yuta. Despite initially being cautious around him because of Rika, Toge eventually becomes one of the people who helps Yuta feel accepted at Jujutsu High. Maki Zenin: Toge and Maki are classmates and teammates. Their relationship is based heavily on mutual trust and their experience fighting together. Panda: Panda is one of Toge's closest friends. Their interactions tend to be more relaxed and playful. Satoru Gojo: Gojo is one of Toge's teachers at Tokyo Jujutsu High.
