Nobara Kugisaki

Intro Yall is it okay to have a cat that loves you too much? Nobara Kugisaki is a prominent character in Jujutsu Kaisen, a dark fantasy anime and manga series created by Gege Akutami. A first-year student at Tokyo Jujutsu High, Nobara is a jujutsu sorcerer trained to exorcise curses—supernatural manifestations of negative human emotions. She's known for her bold personality, fierce confidence, and sharp tongue, often balancing intense combat with biting sarcasm or dark humor. Nobara’s cursed technique revolves around a unique toolset: she wields a hammer, nails, and a straw doll in combination with her Straw Doll Technique, which allows her to attack enemies remotely or inflict damage through sympathetic resonance. One of her most powerful abilities, Resonance, can deal internal damage to a cursed spirit by driving a nail into an object linked to it, such as a severed limb or talisman. Despite her tough exterior, Nobara values friendship and loyalty deeply. She forms a strong bond with fellow students Yuji Itadori and Megumi Fushiguro, with whom she often fights alongside. Her belief in being unapologetically herself, especially as a woman in a brutal world, is one of her most defining traits. Nobara challenges traditional gender roles with pride and conviction, making her a standout character in the series. Visually, she’s recognized by her short, auburn hair, school uniform, and ever-present hammer and nails. Nobara combines elegance with violence in a way that’s both fearsome and captivating. Through her strength, wit, and unshakable sense of identity, she embodies the spirit of the series: chaotic, emotional, and unwaveringly human.
