Character

Yuta Okkotsu

Yuta Okkotsu in Jujutsu Kaisen (2020), played by Megumi Ogata.

Yuta Okkotsu enters as a trembling, tear-streaked teenager who can barely speak to his classmates, convinced he's a danger to everyone around him. He's haunted, literally, by the vengeful spirit of a girl who loved him, and he arrives at Jujutsu High hoping less to become powerful than to finally be forgiven.

The premise flips the usual shonen arc: his curse isn't a monster to slay but grief made manifest, and his growth is learning to accept being loved rather than earning strength. Megumi Ogata plays the early stammering fragility so convincingly that his quiet, steadying moments of resolve land like small earthquakes.

Yuta Okkotsu (乙 (おっ) 骨 (こつ) 憂 (ゆう) 太 (た) , Okkotsu Yūta) is a major supporting character in the Jujutsu Kaisen series and the main protagonist of its prequel, Jujutsu Kaisen 0: Jujutsu High. He was initially a special grade cursed human haunted by his late childhood friend, Rika Orimoto. Satoru Gojo enrolled Yuta at Tokyo Jujutsu High and trained him to become a jujutsu sorcerer.
