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 dittached, 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 99.9% 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 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. 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 regardless of the situation.

Hiromi has since become generally discontent and disconnected with the laws of society. He has openly admitted he cares very little for anything and has decided to challenge himself to try things he previously wouldn't. This leads to strange behavior like Hiromi laying in a bathtub filled with water while fully clothed in his suit and tie. Despite the seriousness of his change in mental state, Hiromi makes jokes as if he's just someone having a mid-life crisis. He even jokes about wanting to play the money-grubbing lawyer he never was before.

As a player in the Culling Game, Hiromi now feels as if the law is powerless while the game presents possibilities that interest him. Rule breakers get punished in the game without prosecutions or trials. He feels that kind of world would be wonderful and wants to allow the Culling Game to play out.

Abilities and Powers
Overall Skill: Hiromi is a modern-day human who only recently gained the ability to use jujutsu just prior to the Culling Game. The cursed techniques he manifested appear to be directly manifested from his experiences working as a lawyer. This familiarity with how his cursed technique functions have allowed Hiromi to quickly become an elite-level sorcerer.

Hiromi is proficient enough with jujutsu to become the first modern sorcerer to score 100 points in the Culling Game. He likely killed at least twenty sorcerers prior to encountering Yuji in Tokyo Colony 1.
