Jujutsu Kaisen is considered by many to be Naruto’s heir. In fact, the common themes of the two works are different, from the three-member team, to the monster sealed in the protagonist’s body, to the master with the powerful and irreverent blindfold. But really Is Jujutsu Kaisen’s Satoru Gojo inspired by Naruto’s Kakashi Hatake?
In an old interview, Gege Akutami had already spoken about the inspiration for Gojo and said that his The protagonist is not influenced by Kakashi at all, but rather from another of Naruto’s characters. But which performer in Masashi Kishimoto’s play laid the foundation for Gojo?
Twitter user @soukatsu_ translated and shared an excerpt of an interview with Sensei Akutami discussing theInspiration behind Gojo’s character design. The cornerstone for Gojo’s special design was not laid by Kakashi Hatake, but by one of the Chunin of the interrogation unit who works with Ibiki Morino. This character, which many will not remember, appears in chapter 40 of the manga (episode 23 of the anime series).
Tobitake Tonbo is the inspiration for Gojo and like him, she wears a white blindfold covering her face and has a serious and outgoing split personality. Akutami reported that he was very impressed with the design of this character and that he almost didn’t even remember the existence of this shinobi he created when he had the opportunity to meet Kishimoto and tell him this anecdote.
received a request to translate Akutami-sensei who talked about Gojo’s influence on the character design and that it was Tobitake Tonbo instead of Kakashi in the fan book
The dragonflies on Gojo’s yukata could also be another homage to this character, since tonbo (γγ³γ) means dragonfly pic.twitter.com/JvuawEoaH2
