Akari Nitta - Character Overview
■Who is Akari Nitta?
Akari Nitta (新田明, Nitta Akari) is a graduate of Kyoto Jujutsu High School and currently serves as an assistant supervisor for Tokyo Jujutsu High. She is easily recognizable by her black suit, short blonde hair with dark roots, and pierced ears. Akari is a young and approachable assistant supervisor with a bright personality. However, according to the Jujutsu Kaisen Official Fanbook, she has a delinquent (yankee) past.
■Akari Nitta and Her Younger Brother
Akari’s younger brother, Arata Nitta (新田新, Nitta Arata), is a first-year student at Kyoto Jujutsu High. She claims that she became an assistant supervisor to keep an eye on him. While Akari finds it stressful when her brother doesn’t listen to her, Arata, in turn, considers her "excessive supervision" a source of stress.
■Personality and Traits
Akari speaks in a casual yet slightly rough tone, reflecting her energetic and easygoing nature. She has a strong sense of camaraderie but isn’t afraid to delegate tasks to someone she believes is more suited for the job.
Despite her laid-back demeanor, Akari is deeply compassionate and responsible. She reassures civilians who are frightened by supernatural incidents caused by Cursed Spirits, sometimes using white lies to calm them down. She believes that if she deceives someone to ease their fear, she must follow through and help them, showcasing her strong sense of duty.
■Respect for Her Senior
Although she graduated from Kyoto Jujutsu High, Akari currently works at Tokyo Jujutsu High, where she respects her senior Kiyotaka Ijichi and looks up to him as a mentor. Since she is still relatively new to her role as an assistant supervisor, she often relies on her seniors for guidance.
Akari Nitta’s Key Scenes in the Anime

■First Appearance
Akari Nitta makes her first appearance when a series of stabbings caused by Cursed Spirits occur at the entrance of an apartment complex. As an assistant supervisor, she is responsible for transporting the first-year students of Tokyo Jujutsu High—Yuji Itadori, Megumi Fushiguro, and Nobara Kugisaki—to the scene in her car to assist in resolving the case.
After the battle at Yasohachi Bridge, which was a key part of the incident, Akari calls in the clean-up crew to handle the aftermath. She ensures the proper disposal of the remains of Eso (壊相) and Kechizu (血塗), the incarnated bodies of the Cursed Womb: Death Paintings, who were defeated during the confrontation.
■Shibuya Incident
During the Shibuya Incident, as Satoru Gojo enters the Curtain (Tobari), the other jujutsu sorcerers split into different teams to carry out their respective missions. Akari is assigned to assist the Zenin team in their operations.
While working alongside Nobara Kugisaki, Akari stays in communication with her senior, Kiyotaka Ijichi, over the phone. However, during their conversation, Ijichi is ambushed by the Curse User Haruta Shigemo (重面春太).
Realizing the danger, Akari and Nobara rush to find Ijichi, only to encounter Shigemo on the way. The two struggle in battle, but at the last moment, Kento Nanami arrives just in time to save them, allowing Akari to escape unharmed.
