Appearance

Shoko is a tall woman with long brown hair that extends past her shoulders that she sometimes ties into a ponytail when working. She has soft brown eyes with dark lines under them, making it appear as if she's under-slept. Shoko has a mole underneath her right eye and thick brown eyebrows.

Shoko normally sports a white lab coat over a blue turtle-neck sweater and darker navy blue pants that reach just above her ankle. She finishes her outfit with cream-colored high-heeled shoes.

As a student, Shoko had short hair that only reached just past her chin with bangs swept to the left side. She wore the typical jacket-type jujutsu high uniform. For casual wear during the summer, she wore a long-sleeved shirt, shorts, and sandals.[4]

Personality

Shoko is a very laid-back and nonchalant person, especially compared to Kiyotaka Ijichi's high-strung attitude and the overly playful Satoru. As a student alongside Satoru and Suguru, she would let the two fight and simply remove herself from the situation as it escalated. She teased and bantered with them as friends during their time at Jujutsu High.

Shoko didn't appear to take any situation very seriously in general during her Jujutsu High years. She would openly smoke in public despite obviously being a high-schooler and this habit continued with her into adulthood. Even after Suguru went rogue, Shoko was able to have a casual conversation with him about what he did. She was totally comfortable asking Suguru about the accusations and even called him childish for sulking because no one understands him. She even called Satoru to come to confront Suguru right in front of him without any fear for her own life.[5]

As the school doctor, Shoko appears to take her job seriously and performs in a very stoic manner. While Satoru was visibly upset about Yuji Itadori's demise, Shoko kept her personal feelings out of the situation and only wanted to perform an autopsy, noting that Satoru was being more emotional than usual.[6] It's implied that Shoko has attempted to kick her smoking habit many times but the stress of her job as a healer likely makes it more difficult. She claimed that she was "nostalgic about her highschool days" when it was noticed she was smoking again in Shibuya.[7]

As one of Jujutsu High's only healers and a user of reverse cursed technique, Shoko is a valuable asset for her peers and students alike and has saved many a sorcerer from even the brink of death. She remains composed out on the field and wasn't concerned about being discovered in Shibuya despite the danger of being a high-value target. She was fine being protected by a few of his cursed corpses but she assured Yaga he didn't need to guard her personally.[8]

Abilities and Powers

Shoko reports back on the transfigured humans (Anime)

Shoko deducing the true nature of the transfigured humans.

Overall Skill Level: Shoko was never a combat type of sorcerer but she still went on missions with Satoru Gojo and Suguru Geto while training as a student, indicating that she possesses some form of combat skills. Shoko has not shown the capacity to use normal cursed techniques, but she's always possessed the rare ability to use reverse cursed technique. She can convert it into output and apply it to others in order to regenerate lost limbs and heal wounds, something even Satoru Gojo cannot do.[8] However, when asked how it works, Shoko is unable to put it into proper words that could effectively teach someone else how to use it.[9]

Shoko possesses the knowledge required of a proper doctor while also possessing the sorcery skills to save her comrades at a moment's notice. She is invaluable to the sorcerers of Jujutsu High. When Nanami was injured by Mahito in their first fight, he retreated to Jujutsu High to receive treatment from Shoko. Ijichi and Ino both would have died if they weren't immediately treated by her during the Shibuya Incident.[8]

Her skills as a doctor also make Shoko very knowledgeable in the realm of sorcery as it relates to biology. By dissecting two transfigured humans, Shoko was the one who was able to discover they weren't actually cursed spirits but former humans transfigured by a cursed technique. Shoko was also the one who correctly theorized that the Culling Game's cursed technique removal punishment would affect players' brains and end their lives as a result.[10]

Cursed Technique

Reverse Cursed Technique
Reverse Cursed Technique ( (はん) (てん) (じゅつ) (しき) Hanten Jutsushiki?): Shoko is an expert user of reverse cursed technique and her role as the doctor requires her to use it often to heal injured comrades. Not many people can utilize positive energy and even fewer can use it on people other than themselves. This is what makes Shoko's abilities in her role so valuable to Jujutsu High.
