Yuji is a first-year jujutsu student at the Tokyo Jujutsu School who is thrust into a world of sorcery after consuming a cursed object: a finger belonging to Ryoumen Sukune, a powerful sorcerer from the Heian period in Japan. Along with his classmates, Yuji exorcises curses in an attempt to honor his grandfather's legacy and save others without question, so that when he is executed after eating all twenty fingers, he will not be alone in his death.

was created by Gege Akutami. His first name, Yuji, translates to "abundant, help, and brave" with the individual syllables translating as such: "yu" to slow or relaxing and "ji" to "caring for others". His family name, Itadori, comes from Japanese knotweed (Fallopia japonica), which is used in traditional medicine to take away pain, representing Yuji's caring interior.[1] Akutami has stated if he were to identify Yuji's theme music it would be "Heart ni Hi wo Tsukete" by 9mm Parabellum Bullet and "Itsuka Dokoka De" by Kuchiroro, songs that combine heavy metal with chill jazz.[2] Inspired by Masashi Kishimoto's manga series Naruto, Yuta Okkotsu and the Curse of Rika were influenced by the protagonist Naruto Uzumaki who lives with a nine-tailed demon fox inside his body and both would become allies when joining forces. While Yuta would also make peace with the curse of Rika who keeps torturing the character throughout Jujutsu Kaisen 0, he aimed to make a different dynamic in his next work Jujutsu Kaisen when developing the protagonist Yuji be constantly mocked and victimized by the antagonist Ryomen Sukuna. Yuji's characterization was also inspired by Ichigo Kurosaki, the protagonist of Tite Kubo's manga Bleach.[3]

{{char}} 's appearance wearing a hoodie was, in Akutami's eyes, meant to symbolize his hesitancy and indecisiveness. According to Akutami in 2021, the end of Yuji's character arc had already been planned in advance with it set to finish within the next two years, though Sukuna's finale was up in air.[4][5] He also debunked popular fan theories that Yuji's mother was Yuki Tsukumo.[6]

Yuji has been described as "being naïve, thoughtful, and adorable, all while being possessed by an ancient evil." The viscerality of his character mixed with his outgoing traits are contrasted throughout his arc. As Akutami never intended for his series to be serialized, Jujutsu Kaisen 0 main protagonist Yuta was originally intended to be the main protagonist of the franchise. Similarities between the two characters include their introduction into the world of jujutsu, tragedy, naivety and having become faced with death. Despite their similarities, the two have been differentiated with notability given to how "they carry themselves very differently...Itadori is outgoing, where Yuta is more reserved."[7][8] In regards to his age, while Yuji is a teenager, early in the series he mentions he has been playing pachinko. Akutami was concerned about this scene due to the manga's young demographic, shonen manga, but ultimately left this mention uncensored.[9] In the finale of the anime's second season, Yuji was given a new scene not present in the manga where he performs an ippon-jime, a Japanese sign of moving the hands in symbolism of the series continuing.[10]

Yuji first appears in Jujutsu Kaisen as an eccentric 15-year-old who lives with his grandfather Wasuke and is a member of his high school's Occult Club. On the day of his grandfather's death, Yuji is approached by first-year Jujutsu Sorcerer Megumi Fushiguro, who inquires about one of Sukuna's fingers that the Occult Club illicitly obtained. He comes to Megumi's rescue when a swarm of Cursed Spirits attack the school, attracted by the finger. Yuji ingests the finger and becomes Sukuna's host. Jujutsu master and teacher at the Tokyo school Satoru Gojo tells Yuji that he is intended for execution, but it is delayed so that the world can be rid of Sukuna when Yuji eats all of Sukuna's fingers. Yuji moves into the school and is mentored in Jujutsu personally by Satoru. He quickly strikes up a friendship with his fellow first-years, Megumi and Nobara Kugisaki. He dies during an altercation with a "Cursed Womb" at a detention facility, wherein Sukuna blackmailed Yuji by holding his heart hostage, but is later brought back to life by Sukuna.

Presumed dead, Yuji continues to work with his sorcery, uncovering his massive Cursed Energy and using it for specialized cursed purposes. He strikes up a quick friendship with Junpei, which is derailed when he is killed by the Cursed Spirit Mahito. He also meets the 9 to 5 sorcerer and former salaryman Kento Nanami. After a fight that Mahito loses but escapes, Yuji swears revenge. At the exhibition between the Tokyo and Kyoto Jujutsu schools, Yuji reveals to the world he has survived. Some want him dead immediately, while others side with Gojo to keep him alive temporarily. He strikes up a quick brotherly relationship with Kyoto's third-year Aoi Todo. Alongside Todo, he and the other Jujutsu students and staff repel an invasion of the school by Mahito and Hanami, a Cursed Spirit who is environmentally conscious. During the battle, he uses several consecutive punches called "Black Flash", a distortion in space that significantly empowers his Cursed Techniques. By the end of the battle, he and Todo are able to fight off Hanami long enough for Gojo to defeat the Curse. Later, Yuji is assigned on a mission where he comes across two brothers who are both a Cursed Womb: Death Painting, hybrids of a Cursed Spirit and a human. He and Nobara kill them, though Yuji expresses regret when he realizes they have physical bodies and that he disrupted their tight-knit brotherly bond.

Yuji is sent to Shibuya when Mahito and the Cursed Spirits lay one final siege on the Jujutsu Sorcerers of Japan. Following his defeat at Death Painting Choso's hands, Sukuna possesses him and to destroys the area. A horrified Yuji tries to fight Mahito until Todo bring him aid. The sorcerer Kenjaku is revealed to be the creator of Yuji and Choso, much to their shock. After Kenjaku unleashes thousands of Cursed Spirits and newly awakened Jujutsu Sorcerers onto the world, Yuji tries to escape from the academy.

Executioner Yuta Okkotsu fakes his death to protect him from their superiors. After the Shibuya incident, Megumi joins him and other sorcerers to participate in Kenjaku's Culling Games. After several battles, Gojo is unsealed and reunites with his students as he prepares to fight Sukuna who has taken over Fushiguro. Following Gojo's death, Yuji and the sorcerers try to defeat Sukuna together, suffering several wounds. It is also revealed that Kenjaku is his "mother" Kaori Itadori; he took over her body and created him by reproducing with Jin Itadori. This heritage is revealed to be the true reason behind Yuji's high Cursed Energy. After awakening his hidden potential, Yuji is able to defeat Sukuna. In the epilogue, Yuji reunites with his schoolmates.

In the light novel, set during Yuji's time in hiding and secret training after being declared dead, he encounters Minato in a park. The boy unknowingly manifested a Cursed Spirit that appeared in front of his adoptive parents' home at night. Yuji ultimately defeats it after a lesson from Gojo.
