Background / History

Toji’s hostility toward jujutsu sorcerers is linked to the rejection he has experienced. The narration contrasts Shoichi Kano’s respectful treatment with the Zenin Clan’s attitude that people without cursed techniques are not human. Kano’s acceptance briefly gives Toji something he feels has been missing throughout his life 15.

Toji lives in a small apartment with his young son, Megumi, but openly acknowledges that he is “not much of a father.” Before departing for work, he gives Megumi horse-racing winnings to support himself and Tsumiki; his abrupt departure nevertheless leaves the boy distressed 15 16.

Appearance

• Build: Tall, rugged, and powerfully muscular, with sharply defined muscles visible beneath his clothing 12 16 18.
• Hair: Medium-length black hair with naturally hanging ends 12.
• Eyes and expression: Slightly narrowed eyes and a restrained, blade-like gaze; often wears a calm or unreadable expression 12 14 15.
• Distinguishing mark: A partially healed vertical scar at the left corner of his mouth, visibly different in color from the surrounding skin 12.
• Clothing and companion: Wears a T-shirt during the planning meeting and movement-friendly clothes during the ambush; carries the purple Inventory Curse Worm around his neck or shoulder 15 18 22.

Personality

Toji is terse, intimidating, and economical in both speech and movement. He dismisses Kano and the Slit-Mouthed Woman at their first meeting, yet becomes more receptive to Kano when the boy treats him as a capable senior rather than an object of curiosity. The Slit-Mouthed Woman’s interest in examining his body irritates him 14 15.

His professional approach is pragmatic: he scouts the battlefield, delegates work, and spends advance funds on distractions rather than expecting hired attackers to defeat Gojo outright. He continues the operation after the Q Organization is destroyed and later refuses Kenjaku’s offered payment because he suspects a trap 15 16 17 24.

That pragmatism has a limit where his pride is concerned. Defeating Gojo initially reassures him that even the most gifted sorcerers can be killed by someone without cursed energy. When the awakened Gojo surpasses him, Toji recognizes his defeat but refuses to flee, continuing to fight to preserve his dignity 22.

Abilities & Skills

Fully Realized Heavenly Restriction

Toji possesses no cursed energy whatsoever. In exchange, his Heavenly Restriction enhances his physical abilities far beyond human limits 12 14.

• Speed and reflexes: Evades the Slit-Mouthed Woman’s reaching hand and scissors attack with minimal movement; later moves fast enough to disappear from Gojo’s immediate sight 14 15 18.
• Enhanced senses: Can directly perceive cursed spirits despite having no cursed energy 14.
• Physical durability: Survives Gojo’s Red blasting him through multiple trees and gouging a trench hundreds of meters long, though he is badly wounded 22.
• Limit: His physical advantages do not allow him to keep pace with Gojo after the latter’s awakening 22.

Barrier Evasion and Infiltration

His unusual constitution allows him to fool the vast majority of barrier techniques 15.

• Enters the area around the Tombs of the Star Corridor in advance to scout and draw a map 15.
• Conceals Kano and the Slit-Mouthed Woman inside the Inventory Curse Worm, then swallows the worm himself to carry them into the barrier’s range without exposing their cursed-energy signatures 18.
• Releases his companions after reaching the inner barrier 18.

Weapons and Close-Quarters Combat

Toji combines precise movement with rapid weapon changes and direct attacks on vital areas 15 18.

• Threatens to crush Kano’s shoulder to make the Slit-Mouthed Woman abandon an attack, controlling both opponents without a prolonged fight 15.
• Uses the Inverted Spear of Heaven to bypass Limitless, then follows with an ordinary short sword through Gojo’s forehead 18.
• Wields the Inverted Spear of Heaven and Soul-Devouring Blade together during the rematch 22.
• Attaches the spear to the Chain of a Thousand Miles for ranged strikes and attempts to bind Gojo 22.

Assassination Planning

Toji’s strategy centers on exhausting a stronger opponent and attacking when their guard drops 15.

• Funds online assassination contracts with the Time Vessel Association’s advance payment to keep Gojo occupied 15 16.
• Instructs Kano to pay only token deposits, since the hired attackers are intended as harassment rather than the decisive force 17.
• Releases stored Fly Heads during the ambush to interfere with Gojo’s perception after the prolonged use of Limitless has drained his stamina 18.

Equipment / Weapons / Items

• Inventory Curse Worm — Purple, caterpillar-like cursed spirit with a baby face. Its internal pocket dimension stores cursed tools and can also accommodate Kano and the Slit-Mouthed Woman 15 16 18.
• Inverted Spear of Heaven — Special-grade cursed tool that forcibly nullifies cursed techniques. Pierces Gojo’s Limitless, but does not completely cancel Red’s repulsion in the brief interval available during the rematch 18 22.
• Soul-Devouring Blade — Special-grade cursed tool wielded against the revived Gojo. Toji refuses Kano’s request to borrow it; its specific ability is not described in the supplied passages 18 22.
• Chain of a Thousand Miles — Chain-shaped cursed tool used to retrieve released cursed spirits and extend the Inverted Spear of Heaven’s reach 18 22.
• Wrongful Death Blade — Special-grade tool that transforms from a black baton into a scythe and converts supplied cursed energy into blade waves with a splash effect. Lent to Kano and used by the Slit-Mouthed Woman, who keeps it afterward 18 19 24.
• HK-USP pistol and ammunition — Long-held handgun lent to Kano with two boxes of ammunition. The ammunition includes rubber bullets that Kano uses to leave Riko alive; Toji retrieves the pistol after the incident 18 20 24.
• Ordinary short sword — Weapon driven through Gojo’s forehead during the first encounter. Toji notices afterward that it is not a cursed tool but assumes the injury is fatal 18.
• Black card — Holds the 30-million-yen advance used to fund the diversion. Toji fails to reclaim it, leaving Kano with nearly 20 million yen still available during his later trip to China 16 34.

Relationships

• Megumi Fushiguro — Son. Toji recognizes his shortcomings as a father but gives Megumi little attention beyond practical financial support 15 16.
• Tsumiki — Included alongside Megumi when Toji hands over money for their living expenses 16.
• Shoichi Kano — Temporary subordinate and intelligence source. Kano’s respectful attitude earns Toji’s approval; Toji entrusts him with diversion funds, weapons, and responsibility for Geto and Riko 15 16 18.
• Slit-Mouthed Woman — Uneasy mission partner. Her curiosity and attempted retaliation provoke him; she later conceals his borrowed scythe rather than returning it 14 15 24.
• Satoru Gojo — Assassination opponent and focus of Toji’s desire to prove his strength. Toji nearly kills him, but loses the rematch after Gojo masters Reverse Cursed Technique 18 22.
• Shiu Kong — Contact who calls during the racetrack meeting; Kano identifies him as Toji’s broker from his knowledge of the original story 14.
• Kenjaku / Kaori Itadori — Connected to his hiring through the Time Vessel Association and saves him from Hollow Purple. Toji questions her motives and ultimately rejects her payment 22 23 24.

Story Role / Major Arcs

Recruitment and Preparation

• Bayer introduces Toji as the Time Vessel Association’s hired assassin and warns Kano about his Heavenly Restriction. A subsequent message arranges their meeting and cautions Kano to watch his behavior 12 13.
• At the racetrack, Toji dismisses his prospective helpers before taking them to his apartment. There, he combines his reconnaissance with Kano’s intelligence and assigns himself Gojo while leaving Geto and Riko to the pair 14 15.
• He provides 30 million yen for diversionary contracts and continues the plan despite the Q Organization’s destruction 16 17.

Star Plasma Vessel Incident

• Toji ambushes the fatigued Gojo, penetrates Limitless with the Inverted Spear of Heaven, and leaves him apparently dead. He then smuggles Kano and the Slit-Mouthed Woman into the inner barrier 18.
• Kano carries out the apparent shooting of Riko but secretly uses a rubber bullet and removes her to safety, diverging from the assassination Toji intended 19 20.
• Gojo revives through Reverse Cursed Technique and overwhelms Toji in their rematch. Kenjaku intervenes with Anti-Gravity before Hollow Purple can strike him 22.
• Toji challenges Kenjaku’s decision to hire him rather than act personally. After the resulting binding vow is established, he retrieves his pistol, abandons the dispute over the hidden scythe, refuses the mission bounty, and leaves 23 24.

Trivia

• Bayer uses Toji’s name to advertise purported special-grade cursed tools. The Slit-Mouthed Woman identifies the merchandise as a cheaply made imitation; no genuine endorsement from Toji is established 13.
• Toji claims the retained Wrongful Death Blade is worth 300 million US dollars on the black market and tells Kano to repay him. Kano later treats that stated debt as real in his own calculations 24 34.
