For the infamous ancestor of the Kamo clan, see Noritoshi Kamo (Ancestor).

Noritoshi Kamo ( () () (のり) (とし) Kamo Noritōshi?) is a character in Jujutsu Kaisen. He is a third-year at Kyoto Jujutsu High and former heir to the Kamo clan.

Appearance[]

Noritoshi is a tall young man who stands above all his peers, save for Aoi Todo, at Kyoto Jujutsu High. He has gray-colored eyes that are normally kept completely shut and black hair.

When Noritoshi was the heir to the Kamo clan, his hair was kept in an orthodox style as a part of his commitment to his role. Two strands of hair in front of Noritoshi's face were wrapped while the rest of his hair flowed behind his head down to his neck. He sported a dark blue shozoku version of the Jujutsu High uniform with zori sandals with white socks. As a child, Noritoshi had a similar hairstyle without wrappings and wore a green yukata robe.

Noritoshi cut his hair after he was ousted from the Kamo clan into a much shorter and spikier style. He also no longer sports a Jujutsu High uniform. Instead, Noritoshi wears a long-sleeved black shirt underneath a protective breastplate that covers the left side of his chest. He also wears a waist guard that covers both sides of his hips and holsters the quiver for his arrows. Noritoshi completes this new look with black pants and shoes with white trim.

Personality[]

Noritoshi comparing himself to Megumi (Anime)

Noritoshi stoic attitude projecting the values of the Kamo clan.

Noritoshi is a calm and stoic person from a complicated family life. He used to feel pressured to uphold the values and ideals of the Kamo family and behaved accordingly. Noritoshi is a leader among his peers other than Todo but the twisted ideals of the conservative faction used to greatly distort Noritoshi's relationships with his fellow sorcerers. When he was ordered to execute Yuji for being Sukuna's vessel, Noritoshi took on their twisted way of thinking.

Noritoshi desired to build a healthy relationship between the Kamo clan and the Zenin clan. He wished Mai had inherited the Ten Shadows Technique because she remains in the clan, unlike Megumi. Despite Megumi's distance from the clan, Noritoshi attempted to have a kinship with Megumi. Even before getting to know him, Noritoshi believed Megumi more reliable than the often drunk Naobito. However, Megumi outright rejects Noritoshi and the Big Three clan's way of thinking and directly opposes it. Noritoshi was ordered to execute Yuji and claimed he was going to do so of his own free will in a desperate attempt to appease his family. He led his peers to aid him in killing a fellow sorcerer even when some of them disagreed, which sent them on a direct collision course with their rivals at Tokyo Jujutsu High, including Megumi.[3][4][5][6]

Noritoshi and his mother in the past (Anime)

The importance of Noritoshi's mother in his life.

Noritoshi's mother is the center of his life and he regrets being separated from her by the clan. She was not welcomed into the family like he was and his goal has always been to build a home for her so they could reunite. He behaves befitting of the Kamo clan heir so he can gain enough influence to welcome his mother back in. Noritoshi never wanted to be a sorcerer but his mother pushed him to stay with the clan and help people, claiming she would only get in his way. When Noritoshi actually spoke to Yuji, he realized they aren't that different after all. Yuji's grandfather pushed him to help others in the same way that Noritoshi's mother did for him. Noritoshi was so moved by this revelation that he allowed himself to be struck out during the Baseball Game.[7][8]

Noritoshi's mother's family

Noritoshi feeling as if he's been replaced and has nowhere to belong.

Noritoshi attempted to reconnect with his mother only to discover that she had a new family. Due to Noritoshi's separation from her and his exile from the Kamo clan as well, Noritoshi believed he had nowhere to belong and that he wasn't important to anyone. Without the weight of the Kamo clan on his shoulders, Noritoshi mellowed out and developed a more natural personality true to himself. While Noritoshi is still aloof and rarely shaken, his conviction was been replaced by sorrow. Without a home to return to, Noritoshi decided to simply burn away his life for his allies. Noritoshi can relate to Maki's complicated family life, bringing them closer during their time together in the Sakurajima Colony. Maki advised him to talk to his mother again but she regrets not taking her chance to do so, a statement that got through to Noritoshi. It helped him understand he might have assumed the wrong thing about his mother and not having a family to live for.[9][10][11]

Abilities and Powers[]

Megumi vs

Noritoshi fighting on even terms with Megumi.

Overall Skill Level: Noritoshi is a semi-grade 1 sorcerer as a third-year student at Kyoto Jujutsu High, permitting him to take on solo missions and supervise his peers of lesser rank. He is the former heir to the Kamo clan who has inherited their prized cursed technique, Blood Manipulation. Noritoshi not only possesses natural innate talent for jujutsu but the intellect and physical skill to blend it and incorporate it into a variety of fighting styles.

Noritoshi is a skilled archer who reinforces his arrows with cursed energy and guides them using blood. His abilities have earned the respect of his peers, who he led into battle during the Night Parade of a Hundred Demons and the 2018 Kyoto Sister-School Goodwill Event. During the latter event, Noritoshi fought on even terms with Megumi, who also inherited a powerful cursed technique from the Big Three Families. He displayed not only skills in archery but high-level close combat capabilities boosted by manipulating his own blood as well.[12][13] Noritoshi also fought effectively on a team with Megumi and Toge Inumaki against Hanami, a special grade curse.[14] Noritoshi was eventually incapacitated by Hanami but his solid planning and perseverance eventually led to Megumi discovering Hanami's weaknesses.[15]

Noritoshi attacking Cursed Naoya

Noritoshi using all his strength to hold his own against Naoya's evolved form.

Noritoshi missed most of the Shibuya Incident but contributed to the last battle against Kenjaku using his arrows from long-range.[16] He was more active during the Culling Game, where he was able to hold his own against Naoya Zenin's vengeful curse form. Noritoshi and Maki effectively overwhelmed Naoya's cursed womb form by working together but his evolved state was more than they could handle.[17] Noritoshi could only buy time for Maki, but he fought against Naoya using all of his available skills and intellect to hold his own.[18]

High Tactical Intellect: Noritishi is a cool-headed and thoughtful fighter who uses a combination of mental prowess and physical might to achieve victory. He is an effective leader thanks to his level-headed demeanor, jujutsu knowledge, and strategic tact.

Megumi, Toge & Noritoshi vs

Noritoshi leading an effective team against a special grade curse.

During the Goodwill Event, Noritoshi organized his classmates into an all-out assault on Yuji that might have been effective if not for Todo's interference. Noritoshi recognized Todo's cursed technique as soon as it activated and withdrew with his peers, quickly understanding how unfavorable the situation had become.[19] Noritoshi was quick to order his team to recover Momo, their scout, who was compromised. Noritoshi employs effective tactics in one-on-one battles as well. While fighting Megumi, Noritoshi blocked his opponent's view for a moment in order to close the distance with the shikigami user.[20] Against a superior opponent like Hanami, Noritoshi organized an effective method of buying time against him using Toge's Cursed Speech and his own attacks, which eventually exposed Hanami's weak point to Megumi.[21]

Noritoshi circulating blood externally

Noritoshi circulating blood used externally back into his bloodstream to avoid bloss loss.

During the Culling Game, Noritoshi fought effectively alongside Maki, analyzing Naoya's abilities at every turn throughout their fight with the vengeful curse. Noritoshi first took note of Naoya's incredible speed and wanted to prevent him from evolving beyond a cursed womb, which would further increase it.[22] Noritoshi survived Naoya's initial attack from his evolved state by blocking his head with blood at the last moment to protect himself, even impressing Naoya.[23] Noritoshi and Maki strategized a countermeasure for Naoya's speed that likely would've been effective on a normal opponent, but it they underestimated the level of speed he could reach.[24] Noritoshi held his own against Naoaya, a far superior opponent, by using his wits to survive. He recognized that Blood Manipulation was effective against cursed spirits and even spit it into Naoya's air inlet. He circulated blood he was using externally back into his body to avoid dying from blood loss despite the cost to his stamina.[25] He also noticed that Naoya assumed he wouldn't unleash major technique and used the opening to surprise his opponent at close range with one.[26]

Jujutsu[]

Cursed Energy Manipulation
Great Cursed Energy: Noritoshi has proven himself to be at least close to the power of a grade 1 curse. He is capable of unleashing several Blood Manipulation techniques one after the other without them losing any effectiveness. This is due to his delicate cursed energy control, making him even capable of manipulating it around his brain to block out cursed speech if necessary.
