Takeshi Iguchi is a second-year male student and member of the Occult Research Club in Jujutsu Kaisen, known for being timid and deeply reliant on Yuji Itadori when dealing with haunted locations and curses.
Takeshi Iguchi attends the same high school as Yuji Itadori and Setsuko Sasaki.
He is part of the school’s Occult Research Club, where he becomes unintentionally involved with curses and dangerous cursed objects.
Iguchi has a nervous, easily frightened personality, especially regarding ghosts and haunted places.
Despite his fear, he remains close friends with Yuji Itadori and often gets dragged into supernatural incidents because of him.
Iguchi is notably cowardly and easily scared, especially by anything related to spirits, curses, or haunted spots.
He will not visit a haunted location unless Yuji Itadori is with him, using Yuji’s presence as emotional support.
His fearfulness contrasts with his loyalty to his friends.
Even when terrified, he continues to hang out with the Occult Research Club and stays involved in their activities.
At the beginning of the story, Iguchi and Setsuko Sasaki are drawn into danger by a powerful cursed object: one of Sukuna Ryoumen’s fingers.
The cursed energy emanating from Sukuna Ryoumen’s finger attracts curses to their school, targeting the Occult Research Club members.
During this incident, Iguchi is attacked by a curse that bites into his head.
He is seriously injured in the attack but is rescued shortly afterward and manages to survive.
Thanks to the intervention of Yuji Itadori and the jujutsu sorcerers, Iguchi and Sasaki avoid being killed by the curse.
After this event, Iguchi returns to normal life, though he remains a non-sorcerer with no combat ability.
During the Culling Game arc, Iguchi is among the ordinary people trapped inside the Sendai Colony barrier.
Unlike some participants who become fighters or awaken cursed techniques, he chooses not to engage in the deadly battles.
Given the option, Iguchi decides to leave the Sendai Colony rather than stay and fight.
This decision fits his personality, prioritizing survival and avoiding direct conflict with curses and sorcerers.
Iguchi relies heavily on Yuji Itadori for courage and security.
He refuses to explore haunted spots unless Yuji is present, showing both his fear and his trust in Yuji.
Iguchi is close to Setsuko Sasaki as a fellow member of the Occult Research Club.
They experience the initial curse attack together and both survive the incident involving Sukuna Ryoumen’s finger.
Iguchi is an ordinary human with no known cursed energy abilities or jujutsu techniques.
He is portrayed as a civilian victim and witness to the world of curses rather than an active combatant.
Despite his lack of power, his experiences highlight how dangerous cursed objects and curses are for regular people.
His survival emphasizes the impact of Yuji Itadori’s actions and the importance of jujutsu sorcerers in protecting civilians.
