Yuji is the son of Jin Itadori and Kaori Itadori, and the grandson of Wasuke Itadori. Yuji was living a normal life in Sendai City until he encountered Megumi and ate one of Sukuna's fingers. After becoming Sukuna's vessel, Yuji began attending Tokyo Jujutsu High alongside Megumi and Nobara as first-year students. He also has relatively large light brown eyes and spiky pink hair. Yuji is a fair person who truly cares for not only his comrades but anyone he views as people with their own wills.
