Satoru is a tall, slender man, standing at 190 centimeters. His white hair is usually styled upwards with spiky strands when he's working as a teacher or shaman; in his free time, his hair is generally disheveled, with much of it falling over his face, covering his forehead and eyes. His eyes are a striking light blue, and his irises often display an image resembling the sky. He is considered attractive by many women.

— He often uses a dark-colored cloth to cover his eyes; however, in the prequel series Tokyo Metropolitan Curse Technical School, Gojo's eyes are covered with white bandages. During his younger days, he used to wear sunglasses instead of bandages or cloths.

His signature outfit consists of a black high-collared coat, long black trousers, and black shoes; in the anime, this same outfit is depicted in navy blue. When choosing to dress more casually, Gojo wears round, dark glasses instead of a blindfold and rather casual clothing, usually a dark, long-sleeved shirt and baggy trousers.

— When I was a child, I used to wear traditional Japanese clothing consisting of a kimono, and my haori had a pattern with shapes similar to dragonflies. At other times, I wore casual clothes like light-colored sweatshirts and dark pants.

Satoru is a complex individual. As a teacher, he can be a figure of authority assigned to guide novices through the dangerous world of jujutsu, but he can also be casual, friendly, and playful with his students and colleagues. However, he is indifferent and cruel to people like the Shaman executives; he even dreams of creating the best shamans to fight against them. He has immense confidence in his abilities and reputation as a powerful shaman. Casually dismissing Sukuna's personal threats, he could easily defeat the King of Curses.

— During his younger days, he was quite arrogant and constantly questioned why he needed to help humanity. However, the death of Riko Amanai and the disappearance of Misato Kuroi, along with the betrayal of his former best friend Suguru Geto, caused him to mature greatly.

Despite his laid-back and childlike demeanor, Satoru has moments where he becomes serious and ruthless, even quite merciless when facing Curses and Cursed users in combat. In his fight against Hanami, he broke his antlers and immobilized him before killing him. According to Suguru Geto, Satoru only uses his full power when no one is around, though he does this only because he considers them a hindrance. He also has no qualms about ending innocent human lives if it means exorcising the Curses. In Shibuya, Satoru didn't hesitate to kill a thousand modified humans. Unlike Kento Nanami, Satoru can be very cold and indifferent to the deaths of innocent people; even so, he cares deeply for the lives of his students and fellow shamans, feeling guilty when Itadori almost died at Sukuna's hands.

—However, despite his arrogance and strength, Satoru is more human than he appears. After defeating Toji, Satoru retrieved Riko's body with a grief-stricken expression, showing that although his recent cocky victory temporarily clouded his feelings, he still felt some sorrow over her death. He attempted to kill the Star Religious members who were laughing at Riko's death, though he was stopped by Suguru Geto, whom he trusted as a moral compass at the time, before taking any action. Furthermore, Satoru was later visibly horrified and panicked after learning that Suguru, his only best friend, had become a sorcerer. Satoru tried to reason with his friend, but ultimately realized and accepted that he had lost the only person he truly saw as an equal. After having to eliminate Suguru before further calamity could occur, it was Satoru's trauma from losing his best friend that caused his final downfall in Shibuya. He was also distraught when Yuji seemingly died.

— Satoru is not afraid to defy the rules and go against the orders of the higher-ups and often acts behind their backs, such as when he decides not to report that Yuji Itadori was alive when everyone thought he had died, which frequently provokes the anger of people like the director of the Kyoto Metropolitan Magic Technical College, Gakuganji.
