Iori Hazenoki

Iori Hazenoki is a character in the Jujutsu Kaisen series. He is a jujutsu sorcerer from the past who was incarnated by Kenjaku for the Culling Game. Hazenoki aligned himself with Reggie Star's group, who all serve as antagonists for the Culling Game Arc.

Appearance
Hazenoki is a slim man of relatively average height with a well-toned physique. He has long-light colored hair that reaches just past the back of his neck and round eyeballs with thick eyebrows.

The outfit Hazenoki wears consists of suspenders that hook onto his long pants that are cut very wide around the ankles. It doesn't include a shirt and Haznoki wears the suspenders across his bare chest. He leaves a little bit of space between the bottom of his pants and the thick dark boots with white lines that he sports.

Personality
As a sorcerer from a different, more violent time period, Hazenoki is a vicious, temper-prone individual who willingly engages in the brutality of the Culling Game. He has a tendency to indulge in torturing his opponents but will go all out if he feels he's being mocked.

Hazenoki's violent tendencies contrast heavily with the extremely goofy Fumihiko Takaba. Takaba constantly irritated Hazenoki even while fighting to the death. By the time Reggie perished in a separate clash, Hazenoki was frustrated enough to stop fighting Takaba altogether.

History
Hazenoki partook in the Culling Game after being revived in the present day by incarnating through his vessel with the help of Kenjaku on the night of October 31, 2018. At some point before Megumi Fushiguro and Yuji Itadori entered the Tokyo No. 1 colony, he joined Reggie Star's group of Culling Game participants and eventually gained 35 points.

Culling Game Arc
Hazenoki attacked Megumi after the latter's negotiations with Reggie failed, dropping and detonating his left eye next to Megumi. After Megumi survived the initial attack, he coordinated with Reggie to launch another attack on the sorcerer using Reggie's gasoline receipts and his explosive teeth.

Abilities and Powers
Overall Skill: Hazenoki is an elite-level sorcerer from the past with fundamental knowledge of jujutsu and enough combat prowess to apply it in a fight. He's highly tolerant to pain, willing to frequently gouge out his own eyes and teeth to provide ammunition for his cursed technique. Reggie considers Hazenoki to be exceptionally dangerous and believes he will kill anyone who makes him angry enough to go all out.
