ITADORI YUJI
Q: What are the titles of the movies that Itadori watched during his training with Gojo?
A: I think they were Léon: The Professional, The Descent, The Host, The Emperor's Naked Army Marches On. The one that was spoiled by Gojo is Deep Blue Sea.
Q: What is the thing that Itadori will absolutely never be able to forgive?
A: Overwhelmingly sickening wickedness.
Q: Does Itadori have any friends aside from the ones at Jujutsu Tech? Is he still in touch with his friends from junior high school or his hometown?
A: He kept in touch with them without much difficulty [before], but Itadori started carrying a mobile phone after he came to Jujutsu Tech, so you can guess how it went from there.
Q: What kind of occupation would Itadori have if he hadn't become a jujutsu sorcerer?
A: I think he’d probably be a firefighter…
Q: Does he have a favorite TV show or genre?
A: I picture him as an omnivore, like he’ll just leave the TV on at all times and watch whenever.
Q: What made Itadori attracted to Jennifer Lawrence’s butt and height? Please tell us in which movie he first saw her.
A: Silver Linings Playbook.
Q: Is he the type to do school assignments or holiday homework properly?
A: He’s the type to do it the day before. He’s the type to do it late but will always properly submit his work.
Q: What happened in his hometown that led to Itadori being called “The Tiger of West Junior High”?
A: I haven’t thought about it but it must be the kind of thing where someone tried to pay him to get in a revenge brawl and he helped save someone instead, and it led to a wild series of exaggerated rumors about him beating up a delinquent.
Q: If Itadori and Todo were not jujutsu sorcerers but were in the same junior high school, would they have become good friends?
A: I’m sure they’d be able to find something they like about each other.
Q: How did Itadori feel when Ozawa Yuko asked him to take a picture at the graduation ceremony?
A: “Sure, a photo right? Gotcha.”
Q: Itadori seems to have many clothes with hoods, but do you have any particular character designs for him?
A: Nothing in particular. The hoods are just my personal habit when I draw him.
Q: You once mentioned you don’t really like Itadori. Why choose a character you have difficulty with as the protagonist?
A: It’s not that I hate him, it’s just that I’m not good at handling him. I’ll work hard on that so I'm not bad at it anymore. I’m in the process of chipping away at it, rather than actively choosing to do so.
