His bright-blue eyes endowed to him from birth, the Six Eyes, bear extrasensory powers, granting him the heightened ability to see, read, and manipulate Cursed energy, as well as amplify his own technique, Limitless. In his debut in ''Jujutsu Kaisen 0'', Akutami linked Gojo and Yuta Okkotsu to Michizane Sugawara, a famous figure in Japanese history, which he described as the source of both characters' supernatural powers. This was done as a tribute to his late editor, Yamanaka. Gojo's design is intended to be one of a handsome man, often called '' bishonen''. His facial design was inspired by a major ''

'' character whose face was covered in bandages. In regards to Gojo's relationship with his students, most notably Yuji Itadori and Yuta Okkotsu, Akutami wrote their relationship simply, as he claims Gojo only wants troublemakers like them to become strong. Despite the common Japanese custom of calling others by their last names, Gojo refers to each of his students by their first names. Akutami said he made this decision because he thought that Gojo did not have proper considerations for such social traditions.

Casting

Yuichi Nakamura voices the character Satoru Gojo in the original Japanese series. From serious scenes to comical gag scenes, Gojo has different facial expressions, but since he played without restrictions on the swing range between on and off, Nakamura reiterated at the recording site that he enjoyed gags. The actor did not find a change in Gojo's characterization, finding his mentoring of Yuta similar to the other protagonists from the main ''Jujutsu Kaisen'' series. He enjoyed the multiple recording sessions he had, as well as the many school-like relationships. He was impressed by

For the anime's second season Nakamura claims he suffered struggles in properly portraying Gojo due to the two story arcs depicting the same character with different quirks and personality as a result of his age; While people do not change their voices too much over a decade, Nakamura aimed to make Gojo different in the two story arcs from season 2. The voice actor was impressed by the animation studio of Mappa which allowed his character to have more facial expressions which resulted in more direction from his superiors.

The actor noted that the character stands out due to his whimsical nature and how he interacts with his students. He was also praised for how likeable he comes across, due to the kind nature he portrays in the series with a dark narrative while simultaneously showing interesting supernatural powers. Tang still noted that Gojo's arrogance was his only weak point, which also makes him come across as more human. In another interview, Tang compared Gojo to the comic book character

, and believed the charm behind the character was that, despite his age, Gojo acts like a spoiled child. Before dubbing Gojo, Tang had not read the ''Jujutsu Kaisen'' manga but had heard of it. When being cast, Tang did research by reading the manga. When first interacting with Yuji Itadori, Gojo is noted to see a rarely-explored darker side of his personality due to how he thinks of the idea of killing a cursed teenager, which leads him to see more arrogance in Gojo.

Appearances


''Jujutsu Kaisen 0''

A sorcerer working as a teacher at Tokyo Prefectural Jujutsu High School. He holds the self-proclaimed title 'The Strongest'; most allies and enemies alike never actually dispute the title and generally consider him to be one of the most dangerous people alive. In the events of ''Jujutsu Kaisen 0'', Gojo recruits Yuta Okkotsu, a high school student, accompanied by his Curse Spirit, Rika Orimoto, and convinces him to join Jujutsu High. During this time, Gojo makes Yuta train with the previous year students, Panda, Maki Zenin, and Toge Inumaki, to help Yuta control his curse and develop friendships. Yuta's curse attracts Suguru Geto, a previous student at Jujutsu High and an old friend of Gojo. Geto seeks Yuta's curse and wishes to create a shaman-only world. Geto is gravely injured after his fight with Okkotsu and is later executed by Gojo. Gojo then helps Yuta understand the true nature of his curse and powers.


''Jujutsu Kaisen''

On the day of the Kyoto Goodwill Event, Gojo meets up with the other faculty to watch the event. As the event starts, Gojo watches it through monitors with the other faculties. When intruders invade the site, Gojo heads over to the site along with Utahime and Yoshinobu. He decides to handle Juzo first, and easily manages to restrain him. Gojo then uses a Hollow Purple technique on Hanami, but they cannot tell for sure if he is killed. As a result, Satoru is widely respected by sorcerers and holds high influence in the sorcery world. He convinces his superiors at the college to keep Yuji Itadori alive until he consumes all of Sukuna's fingers. He teaches Yuji, Megumi Fushiguro, and Nobara Kugisaki. Afterwards, the manga explores Gojo's past. When he and Geto were both sophomores, they were assigned to escort the Star Plasma Vessel Riko Amanai, who was to merge with the immortal sorcerer, Tengen. When the merging was to take place, they are attacked by mercenary Toji Fushiguro, who defeats the two and kills Riko. As Gojo recovers and kills Toji, Geto begins doubting his duties as a sorcerer, and, having grown annoyed of protecting non-sorcerers, vows to break the cycle and kill every non-sorcerer to prevent the birth of more cursed spirits. He escapes from the school and massacres a village with his powers. Gojo confronts Geto about his crimes, but is unable to kill him and lets him go. He was ambushed by the Special Grade Cursed Spirits at Shibuya, and Kenjaku manages to seal him away in the Prison Realm, after he exorcised Hanami. Nevertheless, Gojo has Yuta take the favor of protecting Yuji from being executed should something bad happen to him. Towards the end of the Culling Games, his students successfully release him from the Prison Realm and he immediately challenges Megumi, Sukuna's current host, to a duel on Christmas Eve. After several exchanges, Gojo nearly wins but is killed by Sukuna and finds himself talking with Geto and his other late friends. His corpse is later used by Yuta to aid Yuji in fighting and defeating Sukuna.

'' due to the need of recovering from the "shocking" event. According to IGN, Akutami received death threats over the death of Gojo which came across as a shocking event to several manga readers. In September 2023, leaks of the manga's 236th chapter cause a major controversy online within fans of the series. The contents of the chapter surprised fans so much that they took to social media to react to the new development. At time of publication, the "#GojoSatoru" hashtag was trending on X with more than 11,400 posts. Comic Book Resources had mixed opinions about Gojo's death, praising the event for the major impact it resulted in the entire narrative since nearly most of the surviving characters watching his death were his students but still felt like Akutami was trying too hard to make ''Jujutsu Kaisen'' a dark series by killing several characters in the Shinjuku arc. Gojo's death despite his confidence when confronting Sukuna and Kenjaku became famous in social media due to the ironic result. Once the series ended, GameRant praised both Gojo and Yuta's characters as the writer noted they overshadowed the actual main character of the series, Yuji. The character has often been compared with
