In Season 1 of Jujutsu Kaisen, numerous students from different Jujutsu schools are introduced.

Top 10 youngest Jujutsu Kaisen students

10) Kasumi Miwa

Age: 17

Birthday: April 4, 2001

Jujutsu Kaisen fans will recognize Kasumi Miwa from her appearance in the show. In the first season, this second-year student of Kyoto Jujutsu High, along with Kokichi Muta and Mai Zenin, quickly won over viewers with her endearing and frequently amusing demeanor.

Miwa's desire to become a Jujutsu sorcerer stems from her strong sense of responsibility towards her family. Despite labeling herself as 'useless Miwa,' she showcases remarkable proficiency with her sword. Her Shadow Style: Simple Domain technique enables her to effectively strike any target within a 2.21 meter radius. Furthermore, she is famously an ardent admirer of Satoru Gojo.

9) Kokichi Muta

Age: 17

Birthday: October 4, 2001

Kokichi Muta, who is also known as Mechamaru, was a student at Kyoto Jujutsu High School in Jujutsu Kaisen. Although he was born with a Heavenly Restriction that left his body fragile, he possessed a tremendous amount of cursed energy. His cursed technique granted him the ability to manipulate Cursed corpses resembling robots throughout the entire country.

8) Panda

His initial appearance took place during the Kyoto Goodwill Event arc and his most unforgettable moment occurred during his encounter with Panda. In the second season of the anime, Mahito employed Idle Transfiguration on Muta, eliminating the Heavenly Restriction and restoring his vitality. However, Muta promptly confronted Mahito, leading to his premature demise.

8) Panda

Age: Approximately 17

Birthday: March 5

In the first season of the series, the audience is introduced to Panda. He is a second-year student at Tokyo Jujutsu High alongside Toge Inumaki and Maki Zenin. Despite his appearance as a giant panda, he is actually a friendly cursed corpse that was brought to life by Masamichi Yaga, the principal of Tokyo Jujutsu High. Panda possesses immense strength and endurance, allowing him to easily vanquish curses with his powerful strikes.

Panda's precise age and year of birth remain undisclosed in Jujutsu Kaisen. Nevertheless, based on the fact that he, like Toge and Maki, is a second-year student, it is conceivable that his age falls within the range of 16-17 years.

7) Toge Inumaki

Age: 17

Birthday: October 23, 2001

This is Toge Inumaki, a character from Jujutsu Kaisen (Image via MAPPA). In the anime's first season, he made his debut alongside Maki Zenin and Panda. Inumaki is a second-year student at Tokyo Jujutsu High. Despite his limited dialogue, he has gained popularity among fans. His unique ability, inherited through his cursed technique, restricts his vocabulary to rice-ball ingredients.

6) Yuta Okkotsu

Inumaki's ability, known as Cursed Speech, harnesses cursed energy to manipulate others into following his every command. However, despite its overwhelming power, this technique exacts a heavy toll on Inumaki's physical well-being.

Age: 17

Birthday: March 7, 2001

Yuta Okkotsu, featured in the image from the anime series Jujutsu Kaisen 0 produced by MAPPA, is the central character of the prequel film. He currently attends Tokyo Jujutsu High as a second-year student and recently concluded his training abroad with Miguel after the Shibuya arc.

Yuta attained the status of a distinguished individual upon enrolling at Tokyo Jujutsu High, thanks to the presence of his childhood friend Rika's spirit, which has been haunting him since her demise. In the prequel, he managed to find a means to guide her soul to the afterlife.

Yuta is widely recognized as the most powerful sorcerer of present times, surpassed only by Satoru Gojo. His extraordinary ability, known as Copy, enables him to replicate any inherent cursed technique effortlessly, without experiencing any notable disadvantages.

5) Mai Zenin

Age: 16

Birthday: January 20, 2002

Mai Zenin, the younger sister of Maki Zenin, is a second-year student at Kyoto Jujutsu High School. She made her debut in the anime during the Kyoto Goodwill Event arc in season 1. Right from her first appearance, it was evident to fans that there was a strained relationship between her and her twin sister, as she consistently attempted to outdo her throughout the arc.

In contrast to Maki, Mai possesses cursed energy and utilizes it in battles. Her cursed technique, known as Construction, grants her the power to conjure objects out of thin air. While her combat skills may be limited, she excels as a sharpshooter, skillfully targeting her adversaries from a distance.

4) Maki Zenin

Age: 16

Birthday: January 20, 2002

Maki Zenin, a second-year student at Jujutsu High, is introduced in the fifth episode of the anime's first season alongside her classmates Toge Inumaki and Panda. Despite lacking cursed energy, Maki compensates with her impressive physical strength, reflexes, and exceptional combat abilities.

Unfortunately, Maki's ability to perceive cursed energy is dependent on her glasses because of a failed Heavenly restriction. This failure occurred because her twin sister, Mai, was born with Cursed Energy. Consequently, the Zenin clan ostracized Maki and considered her worthless. Despite this, Maki has consistently demonstrated in the anime that she can excel as a Jujutsu sorcerer without relying on cursed energy.

3) Nobara Kugisaki

Age: 16

Birthday: August 7, 2002

Throughout her journey, Nobara has demonstrated her prowess as a skilled fighter, employing the Straw Doll technique to combat cursed spirits using a hammer and nails. Despite her abilities, she holds the rank of Grade 3 sorcerer due to her limited experience as a Jujutsu sorcerer.

2) Megumi Fushiguro

Age: 15

Birthday: December 22, 2002

In particular, I am interested in seeing more of Kasumi Miwa and Kokichi Muta. Miwa's determination and swordsmanship are impressive, and I think she has the potential to become a powerful sorcerer. Muta's cursed technique is also intriguing, and I am curious to see how he will use it in future battles. Overall, I believe that the young students of Jujutsu Kaisen are a talented and promising group, and I look forward to seeing what they accomplish in the future.
