Description

Toge is a short, slender young man. In the manga, his hair and eyes are light brown[2], while in the anime, his hair is changed to white and his eyes purple[3]. He has thin eyebrows and on both sides of his mouth are two circles with dots and one on his tongue representing the cursed seal of the Inumaki Clan[4]. After the events of the Shibuya Incident Arc, he lost part of his left arm[5], when he was caught in Sukuna's territorial expansion[6]. His signature attire consists of his own version of the Tokyo Metropolitan Magic Technical College uniform, which consists of a black jacket in the manga and a navy blue one in the anime with a high collar and a zipper that extends to cover his mouth, black pants, and white shoes on his feet.[7] In his first year, he wore a light brown collar and black shoes.[2] In the anime, his entire uniform is depicted as navy blue.[3] On certain occasions, he carries a white megaphone with him to prevent himself from shouting and further damaging his throat. During his training times, he wears a white short-sleeved shirt with a black collar containing a zipper to hide his seal, black pants, and white shoes.[8]

Personality

During Tokyo Metropolitan Curse Technical School, he used to be someone who was quite quiet and reserved. He liked to spend time alone and dedicate it to things that would not cause him any harm [4]. It is believed that this was to avoid cursing his companions by mistake, or simply out of fear of hurting them. Yes, Inumaki is often misunderstood by those who do not know him, he is a quite kind, affectionate young man and has the habit of making jokes [9]. Like any normal teenager, even though he isn't. Because he is a user of the Cursed Speech Technique, his vocabulary is based on onigiri ingredients, for the purpose of not cursing others by mistake.

Curiosities

According to information revealed in Volume 05[9]: Inumaki's hair style was too similar to Yuji Itadori's, so they eventually decided to change it and now it looks similar to Satoru Gojo's style. He is short in stature. Despite not looking like Maki Zenin or Yuji Itadori, he is extremely athletic. He likes to make jokes. His favorite onigiri ingredient is Tuna-Mayo (tuna with mayonnaise) Thanks to Inumaki's cursing ability, the students of Tokyo and Kyoto hold him in high regard, or fear? Inumaki often joins in on Gojo's jokes, as we can see in the anime's post-credits, when she's wearing a skirt just like Gojo. The marks on the sides of the mouth and tongue simulate the eyes and mouth of a snake, which is the mark of cursed speech. Inumaki's results in the Character Popularity Polls: He was ranked #4 in the First Poll with 12,088 votes. He was ranked #6 in the Second Poll with 5,052 votes.

His birthday is October 23rd. His year of birth is 2001, considering that the events of Jujutsu Kaisen 1 occur in 2018 He is a quasi-first degree shaman. His mode of enrollment at Tokyo College was through his bloodline. His technique is the Cursed Speech Technique. His hobby is Youtube. His favorite food is Tuna Onigiri with Mayonnaise (Tuna-Mayo). The food he doesn't like is fish eggs. Her source of stress is the meetings that take place in the morning at school. Information revealed from the interview with Gege Akutami: Toge started talking with onigiri ingredients since he was conscious. Akutami said it's almost like he's bilingual. He is the only known member of the Inumaki clan. Toge talks with Onigiri ingredients so as not to accidentally harm others

After what happened in Volume 00, Toge always carries a spare throat medicine. Akutami stated that he changed Toge's hairstyle to avoid him looking like Yuji Itadori, and that he assumes that's why he's now considered an attractive guy. According to Akutami, people of the Inumaki Clan who possess the Cursed Speech Technique communicate with each other through their hearts. Toge's uniform is modified with the high collar, covering in order to minimize the volume of his voice. The Inumaki Clan is the only clan in the world that possesses the Cursed Speech Technique. He is the one who talks the most in the group, simply being surpassed by Panda.

Words of communication

Due to his abilities, Toge has a limited vocabulary consisting of onigiri ingredients, these are some of Toge's Safe Words: -Salmon: used to affirm. -Tuna: used to deny. - Pollock roe: used for motivational purposes. -Thunini: Used to draw attention to something, "look". -Tuna with Mayonnaise: Used as a general speech, "to do something" (about the situation). -Salmon Eggs - "Well, well" or "Well, well." Alga: used as a greeting -Mustard: used to ask "Are you okay?" or show concern -Caviar: used as a swear word/curse. Apart from those words, everything else he says is nonsense. Toge's character design for Jujutsu Kaisen 0: The Movie was redrawn with supervision by Gege Akutami, thus his hairstyle had a major change from those drawn in Volume 00.[12]
