Yuko Ozawa ( () (ざわ) (ゆう) () Ozawa Yūko?) is a minor character in Jujutsu Kaisen. She was a classmate of Yuji Itadori in their Junior High School.

Appearance

Yuko is a tall girl with short brown hair that extends to her shoulder with straight bangs that cover her forehead. Yuko wears a cream colored baggy sweater that extends past her waist, a long lime skirt that extends all the way down to her ankles, and white high heeled shoes with brown tips.

During her Junior High School years she was overweight with black hair that reached down to her chin. Yuko wore a dark colored sailor uniform, with light colored socks peeking over her light colored shoes with dark tips.

Personality

Yuko appears to be a timid girl who had a crush on Yuji. After meeting Yuji again and having a chat with him, she decided not to reveal her feelings.

Synopsis

History

At some point, Yuko overheard a conversation where Yuji stated that he liked Yuko, along with his explanation as for why he did like her. Hearing this, Yuko started to like Yuji back.[1] At one point during the winter the two talked about their feelings on snow and how they both liked it.

Six months ago, Yuko mustered up the courage to ask Yuji for a photo together on graduation day. Afterwards, Yuko had moved to Tokyo, growing 15 centimeters as well as losing some weight due to the stress of moving.[2]

Death Painting Arc

Yuko happens to come across Nobara and Yuji. After Yuji leaves, Yuko comes up to Nobara and asks if she was with Yuji earlier. The two then head to a restaurant, where Yuko explains to Nobara how she liked, and still likes, Yuji. Nobara decides to calls Megumi since he knows more about Yuji than she does. Yuko wonders if Nobara also likes Yuji, though Nobara responded with a no.

When Megumi shows up, Nobara explains Yuko's circumstance to Megumi and asks if Yuji has a girlfriend. Megumi says that he doesn't believe Yuji has a girlfriend, and explains why he thinks that. Yuko then asks if Megumi knows what type of girl Yuji likes, which Megumi tells her that he believe that Yuji had said that he liked tall girls. Yuko and Nobara are glad about this news, which Nobara texts Yuji to come to the restaurant. When Yuji shows up, Nobara becomes worried that Yuji won't recognize Yuko. Contrary to this belief though, Yuji easily recognizes her. After meeting for a while, Yuko decides to not reveal her feelings after realizing she doesn't want to get him to like her based on her new looks, as someone she hates might do. She leaves but not before giving her contact information to Nobara.[3]

Epilogue

Yuko returned to her hometown thinking on how surprising it was she couldn't find or recognize anyone from school or Yuji, the person she wanted to see the most. To Yuko's surprise she ran into Yuji by chance and he revealed he came back to to clean his grandfather's house. Yuko mused over that she came for similar reasons as she came to help clean her grandmother's house before she's moved into an old folks home. Yuko then asked Yuji about his experience in Tokyo but he pivoted to talking about Shibuya, with her suspecting he got caught up in the incident. When Yuji expressed he was happy to know she was fine living in Machida, Yuko grew flustered not wanting to jump to romantic conclusions. When it began to snow Yuko asked Yuji if he still liked snow and he told her that it was indeed still special to him, Yuko thought to herself she felt the same due to it being similar to the person she liked so much, being Yuji.[4]

Abilities

As an ordinary human, Yuko doesn't possess any additional abilities.

Trivia

  • Yuko's surname contains the kanji for "small" ( o?) and "swamp, marsh" ( sawa/zawa?), and her first name contains "excellence, superiority, gentleness" ( yu?) and "child" ( ko?).
  • Yuko's old appearance bears a striking resemblance to Kuroko Sato from Yu Yu Hakusho which Nobara points out. This is the second time another character referenced a manga in the series.
