Who is Satoru Gojo?
Satoru Gojo is one of the protagonists of Jujutsu Kaisen and, like other sorcerers, wants to keep the world safe from the Cursed Spirits that afflict it. Gojo regards the structure of the Jujutsu Sorcerer society as faulty and seeks to improve it. Thus, he serves as a teacher at Jujutsu High, a school committed to the development of new generations of Jujutsu Sorcerers, to achieve his goal.
In the Japanese version of the anime adaption, he is portrayed by Yuichi Nakamura, but in the English version, he is voiced by Kaiji Tang.
