Information revealed from the interview with Gege Akutami: Akutami said that when he created Gojo, he wanted to create a strong character that was easily distinguished. Gojo's first impression upon seeing Suguru was "a bang." Halfway through Akutami tries to draw him attractive. Gojo still thinks that taking care of the weak is tiring. After Gojo recovered Riko Amanai's body, and in front of the Time Vessel Association he asked Suguru "Do you want me to kill them? The me now probably won't feel anything if he does it", he did so since he was using Suguru's moral judgment as an estimate for what is good and what is evil, as if it were his own principle.

Gojo helped Yuta and Yuji because they were both strong, so he doesn't pay attention to any other external details. Gojo usually calls his students by his name, but that doesn't have any special meaning, he doesn't usually think about things much. Akutami revealed that he had heard that Gojo has powers similar to those of Kakashi Hatake, a recurring character in the Naruto and Naruto Shippuden manga, however he has said that Gojo is not really on the same level as Kakashi.

Furthermore, for Gojo's character design, rather than taking inspiration from Kakashi, he took inspiration from an invigilator who wore blindfolds during the second stage of the Chuunin Exams, Tonbo Tobitake. Akutami remembers that this character left a great impression on him, such that when he met Masashi Kishimoto, he asked him about that character but he replied "Was there a boy like that...?"
