Is Gojo albino?

Gojo does not have albinism despite having a pale skin tone, white hair, and blue eyelashes. Although the show's makers have not canonically explained the reason behind his white hair, Jujutsu Kaisen fans have come up with multiple theories.

For instance, some have explained the origin of Gojo's white hair as the immense amount of cursed energy he possesses. Another hypothesised theory is his clan's genetics, where babies born from his clan have streaks of white hair.

What species is Gojo?

In the Jujutsu Kaisen universe, Gojo Satoru is a human. He is not a supernatural species or non-human entity but an extraordinarily powerful sorcerer born into the Gojo Clan. His immense abilities come from his inherited cursed techniques, such as the Six Eyes and Limitless, rather than any non-human origin.

What is Gojo's skin tone?

Satoru Gojo's skin tone is generally depicted as fair in the Jujutsu Kaisen anime, presenting a light complexion consistent with his bright and striking overall appearance. However, in some illustrations and manga artwork, his skin tone appears slightly tanned or warmer than the anime's portrayal.

Is Gojo's hair white or grey?

Satoru Gojo's hair is canonically described as snow-white in Jujutsu Kaisen. His hair is distinctly white, emphasised by his bright blue eyes and white eyelashes, making his appearance striking and unique among the anime characters.

Why is Gojo's eye cover white?

Gojo Satoru's eye cover in Jujutsu Kaisen is white primarily because of a design choice in the prequel movie and early appearances, where he wore white bandages over his eyes. Later in the main anime series, his eye cover changed to a black blindfold, becoming his iconic look.

Why does Gojo Satoru wear a blindfold?

Jujutsu Kaisen creator, Gege Akutami, confirmed that Gojo's eyes are covered to maintain stable cursed energy levels. It also prevents exhaustion due to intense sensory overload caused by his unique ability called the Six Eyes.

Despite the eyecover, Gojo can still see perfectly because the Six Eyes allow him to perceive the flow of cursed energy around objects and people. The unique ability enables him to see without using normal sight.

Trivia facts
