Hiromi Higuruma

Hiromi Higuruma is a character in the Jujutsu Kaisen series. He is a public defense lawyer who often takes on impossibly difficult cases in order to protect the wrongfully accused. Hiromi is currently one of the participants in the Culling Game.

Appearance
Hiromi is a man of average height and build. He has short, well-kept, black hair with a stringy texture that is styled to flow toward the back of his head. Hiromi has a large nose and eyes have very small pupils. His overall appearance gives off the look that Hiromi is tired and overworked due to the nature of his career. As a lawyer, Hiromi dons the professional attire of an average black suit, pants, and shoes.

Personality
Hiromi comes off as a very uninterested, calm, and aloof person. He looks as if he's tired and apathetic but Hiromi is actually a man of true justice. He only takes on difficult cases where the defendant is sure to be found guilty, something his co-workers ridicule him for.

While 99% of criminal trials in Japan end in a guilty verdict, Hiromi always chooses to try and protect the wrongfully accused by proving their innocence. He's not trying to save the weak and powerless, Hiromi simply can't leave things alone if he doesn't feel they're right. Lady Justice wears a blindfold to represent impartial justice, everyday people close their eyes to shield themselves from the reality, but Hiromi is the type of man willing to keep his eyes open even if no one else will.

As a lawyer Hiromi often has to deal with situations where he's blamed for not proving his client's innocence's. Hiromi understands that his clients take out their anger on him because of they've been backed into a corner by the law. Even so, the look they give him when found unjustly guilty affects Hiromi's mental state, so much so that his co-workers often worry about him.

When the justice system unfairly found his most recent client guilty despite the overwhelming evidence in their favor, Hiromi snapped and demanded a retrial on the spot. This marked the beginning of a great shift in attitude for Hiromi, who normally retains his calm demeanor regarldess of the situation. He has since become a player in the Culling Game and has killed numerous other players.

Abilities and Powers
Overall Skill: Little is known about Hiromi's abilities as a jujutsu sorcerer. He was born a non-sorcerer but he was marked by Kenjaku for the Culling Game at some point. Following the Shibuya Incident, Kenjaku's remote activation of Idle Transfiguration affected the soul of everyone who was marked. This changed Hiromi's brain to give him the capacity to use cursed techniques.

When his innate technique manifested, it allowed him to unknowingly conjure a cursed spirit resembling Lady Justice. As a participant of the Culling Game, Hiromi quickly gained a reputation as one of the more powerful players and was one of the first to score 100 points.
