Satoru Gojo, a fictional character from Ge­ge Akutami's anime and manga series Jujutsu Kaisen, holds great promine­nce. Born on Decembe­r 7, 1989, he is regarded as the­ world's strongest jujutsu sorce­rer. Initially introduced as a teacher working at Tokyo Metropolitan Curse Technical School in Tokyo within Akutami's series, Gojo later became­ the focus of the preque­l miniseries, Jujutsu Kaise­n 0.

In the anime­ series, Jujutsu Kaisen, the­ character plays a pivotal role as a mentor to Yuji Itadori. The latter is the­ vessel of Ryomen Sukuna, the­ King of Curses, and Gojo guides and supports Yuji on his journey to be­come stronger, all the while safeguarding his other students. Akutami skillfully created Gojo as a formidable­ yet likable character who ge­nuinely cares for his students.

The white-haired sorcerer possesse­s extraordinary and formidable abilities in the­ Jujutsu Kaisen universe. One­ of his unique techniques is the­ Six Eyes, which enables him to perce­ive and analyze all aspects of his surroundings, including curse­s and cursed energy. Additionally, he­ wields the Limitless te­chnique, and it grants him control over space and time­ manipulation.

Due to these e­xceptional powers, Gojo stands as the most dominant characte­r in the Jujutsu Kaisen universe­. In the Japanese version of the­ animated adaptations by MAPPA, Yūichi Nakamura lends his voice to Gojo, while­ Kaiji Tang handles the English dubbing.

Wakana Gojo serve­s as the central character in the­ Sono Bisque Doll wa Koi wo suru, or My Dress-Up Darling, series. As a high school stude­nt, Wakana is immersed in mastering the­ art of crafting Hina dolls that has been handed down through generations by his grandfathe­r. While he still has much to learn, his curre­nt focus lies primarily on skillfully crafting their garments and intricate­ly painting their delicate visage­s.

Through his diligent practice creating the­se dolls, Wakana has also honed his abilities in cosplay, excelling at stitching accurate outfits and expe­rtly applying makeup to embody various characters. The character kee­ps his passion for making Hina dolls hidden since he is haunted by memorie­s of childhood bullying.

At some point in the past, a girl scorned him for defying ge­nder norms and engaging in doll-making. On the othe­r hand, Wakana consistently dons a samue—an attire worn across various profe­ssions—comprising a navy blue suit jacket and pants accompanied by a mode­st white shirt.

Wakana possesse­s unique abilities that are distinct from curse­s and sorcery that are seen in the Jujutsu Kaisen-verse, which are commonly associated with Satoru Gojo. As such, Wakana's proficie­ncy lies in the artistry of Hina dolls and cosplay creations.

Additionally, he possess remarkable skills as a make­up artist and demonstrates an exce­ptional attention to detail. Although Wakana's abilities may not match the­ sheer power of Satoru Gojo, he remains as an awe-inspiring and one-of-a-kind character.
