Hajime Kashimo

Hajime Kashimo is a character in the Jujutsu Kaisen series. He is a jujutsu sorcerer from 400 years ago currently inhabiting the body of someone Kenjaku prepared as a vessel. Hajime is currently serving as one of the players participating in the Culling Game in search of fighting Sukuna.

Appearance
400 years ago, Hajime was an elderly man with light-colored eyes that have short zig-zag lines underneath them. He had thick eyebrows and long light-colored hair tied together in a disheveled style. Most of it was kept tied back behind his head with a single band and reached just beyond his neck. He also had some of the hair on top partied and tied into two buns on the right and left sides of his head. He wore a traditional dark-colored haori.

Incarnated into a new body, Hajime has a much younger appearance as a Culling Game player. He retains the lightning-shaped lines connected to the bottom of his eyelids and his disheveled hairstyle is mostly the same but with bangs in the front. Hajime wears simple, light-colored clothing including a large robe with a scrunched collar around the neck area. The sleeves of his robe are slightly rolled up to reveal Hajime's bandage-wrapped forearms. Hajime also wears matching pants and shoes of the same color as well.

Personality
Hajime is the perfect example of a jujutsu sorcerer from the past who lives for fighting strong opponents. Towards the end of his life, Hajime was ultimately bored and unsatisfied with the battles he fought. He values life much differently than modern-day people and only agreed to Kenjaku's terms in order to fight Sukuna, the most powerful potential opponent.

It wasn't long before the incarnated sorcerer was bored with the Culling Game even after slaughtering over forty players. His focus became exclusively on searching out Sukuna which eventually lead him to cross paths with Kinji Hakari. Hakari provided Hajime with a real challenge they found very interesting due to the unique nature of Hakari's abilities. Rather than take the easy route of outlasting Hakari's jackpot, Hajime desired to kill him while he was unkillable for the most satisfying win possible. To Hajime, anything less is how a loser thinks.

Perfect Preparation Arc
Having killed a male sorcerer, Hajime expresses frustration over how weak the opponents in Tokyo Colony No. 2 are and wonders where Sukuna is. Hajime decides to add a rule to the Culling Game using 100 points from her current total of 200. The 9th Rule of the Culling Game as specified by Hajime allows all players to access information about other players by accessing Kogane. These including; full names, amount of points, number of rules a player has added and their current colony.

Before entering the Culling Game, Yuji's group use the information provided by Hajime's new rule to plan their attack with Kinji Hakari deciding to target Hajime in Colony 2 because they appear to be the strongest fighter in the game.

Abilities and Powers
Overall Skill Level: Hajime Kashimo is one of the strongest sorcerers Kenjaku came across 400 years ago who only considered him inferior to the likes of Sukuna. Even as an elderly man, Hajime could decimate entire battlefields and leave numerous dismembered corpses in his wake.

Incarnated as a Culling Game player back in his prime, Hajime quickly became the first to reach 200 points and the first to add a new rule to the game. Kashimo defeated at least forty other players with ease in only twelve days. Hajime considered every one of the aforementioned players they eliminated to be far too weak.

Hajime first openly displayed his strength by outclassing someone of Panda's caliber. Panda stated that Hajime is incredibly swift and devastatingly strong. Hajime's speed, strength, and durability quickly overpowered even Panda's Gorilla Mode. Able to withstand Unblockable Drumming Beat and overcome the cursed corpse with superior-close combat skills, Hajime considered Panda to be extremely weak. Even when faced with Panda's trump card, Hajime easily overcame his opponent's Triceratops Mode using his electrified cursed energy that struck like a bolt of lightning.

Matched up against Hakari, Hajime was able to go toe-to-toe with the elite Jujutsu High student while he was overflowing with infinite cursed energy. While the damage wasn't long-lasting due to Hakari's fully automatic reverse cursed technique, Hajime was able to momentarily overpower him by blasting his arm off with a bolt of lightning.
