Aoi Todo is a supporting character in the Jujutsu Kaisen series. He is a third-year student at Kyoto Jujutsu High School and a grade 1 jujutsu sorcerer. He was mentored by Yuki Tsukumo in his youth and considers Yuji Itadori his best friend. Aoi Todo is a tall young man who stands about the same height as Satoru Gojo. He has a very defined, heavy muscular build and relatively tan skin. He has small black eyes and shoulder-length black hair that is almost always tied into a top-knot bun with unusual flyaway strands with rounded ends akin to multiple stamens of a flower, befitting the meaning of his name. One of his most notable features is the large scar running down the left side of Todo's face that he got from harsh training with Yuki. While Todo sports his jujutsu high uniform, he usually takes his jacket off and rips the undershirt before or during the battle. He usually dons martial arts pants and slippers. Todo's choice of pants is very loose and stops above the ankle with a bright blue sash wrapped around the waist. He wore a tennis-type of outfit while playing ping-pong with Mei Mei, sporting a collared shirt and shorts rather than his normal outfit. In his fantasy of attending junior high with Yuji Itadori and Takada, Todo wears a school uniform that consists of a black jacket similar to his Jujutsu High one. Like with all his jackets, Todo left it open to reveal the undershirt. Even in these forged memories, Aoi wears his blue sash with his pants. During the Shibuya Incident, Todo had to sever his left hand to avoid being fully transfigured by Mahito, and severely damaged his right palm by slapping Mahito's hand briefly to swap with Yuji. During the Shinjuku Showdown Arc, Todo is shown to have lots of bandages wrapped around his left hand after his hand being fully transfigured by Mahito. Aoi Todo is a very unique person with an extremely eccentric attitude. He can come off as nothing more than a battle-crazed meathead to all his peers because not only does he enjoy posing and showing off his muscles but revels in the thrill of battle as well. Much of his personality also revolves around his very vocal love for his favorite tall pop-idol Takada-chan. He'll often bring her up in conversation and refuses to be late to any of her shows or meet and greets no matter what. Todo even visualizes talking to Takada sometimes when he has an inner dialogue with himself. As a child, Todo was exceptionally strong but he felt his life was mundane due to his overwhelming strength. That all changed when he met Yuki Tsukumo and he fondly remembers the feeling of his boredom turning upside-down. Yuki introduced herself to him by asking "what kind of girls do you like?", a catchphrase that Todo would adopt for himself. Todo hates being bored more than anything else. He asks people what kind of girls do they like so he can get a read on them and his reaction to their replies can vary greatly. When Megumi gave a response to this question that Todo deemed as boring, he beat the first-year to a pulp. Todo was especially irritated in this case because Yuta Okkotsu, a worthy opponent, wouldn't be attending Todo's last Goodwill Event, so he felt it would be uneventful.[6][7] He also doesn't like any of his peers at Kyoto Jujutsu High because he's disappointed in their terrible taste in women. During the planning stage for Goodwill Event, Todo took absolutely zero interest in "exorcising Sukuna's vessel" and told his team and Principal Gakuganji that their schemes were stupid and he'd kill them if they tried to order him around again. Yuji revealed that he has the same taste in women that Todo does, causing Todo's response to be drastically different from his reaction to Megumi. A memory of an event that never even occurred populated Todo's head which he honestly believed to be the truth. The memory was of Yuji comforting Todo after he was rejected by Takada. From that moment on in Todo's mind, he's always been best friends with Yuji and believes no one could beat them in their hometown. Even after coming back to reality, Todo shed tears and told Yuji they're best friends, confusing the first-year. While mentoring Yuji during the Goodwill Event, Todo showed a much more intelligent and even philosophical side of himself. Todo found much enjoyment in fighting with Yuji and took pride in helping foster his potential. He showed Yuji how to properly channel his cursed energy by effectively explaining how it's supposed to flow. Todo understands most people think of their body in disproportionate parts, but that every individual actually exists in the world with their entire mind, body, and soul, something most people take for granted.[8] This philosophy is what trigged Yuji to step up his level of jujutsu considerably, eventually even learning to unleash Black Flash. Todo is supremely confident in himself and revels in heated combat even when the situation is extremely dangerous. He made light of his own achievements during the Night Parade of a Hundred Demons, revealing to Megumi he only needed his cursed technique to defeat a special grade. Despite undoubtedly possessing more cursed energy than Todo, Hanami was wary of him before they ever exchanged blows just based on his intense presence and supreme confidence. Todo's peers recognize that he's the most powerful out of all of them but they don't get along at all and everyone finds him irritating. In the baseball game, it was made abundantly clear that Todo is seriously hated by all the other students. Maki hit him in the face with the baseball and everyone other than Yuji praised her for the "nice pitch". In a situation as dire as the Shibuya Incident, Todo was able to maintain a completely serious composure and intelligently assess what his best course of action was. Once he noticed Prison Realm was already moved, Todo immediately moved on and prioritized rescuing his allies over rescuing Satoru Gojo. He was confident that his "brother" Yuji would be in the center of the chaos and went to go find him. By the time Todo found him, Yuji's body and mind were both battered and beaten by Mahito. Upon rescuing Yuji, Todo confidently stated that they were the exception to the rule that the prosperous must decline. Despite Yuji's condition, Todo encouraged him to get back up because their fight had just begun. Yuji explained to Todo that he couldn't fight anymore because he couldn't forgive himself for allowing his allies to die. Todo told him not to constrain himself to conventional thinking because all of their allies together are jujutsu sorcerers. He believes as long as one of them lives to fight, those who have fallen will never have been truly defeated. To Todo, it's not about punishments because jujutsu sorcerers can't afford to limit themselves to such misfortune. He knows that looking back on the memories of friends who've died can be disheartening, but even so he encouraged Yuji to try and remember what his friends entrusted him. Todo didn't require Yuji to figure it out right away but told him to never stop pushing forward until he finds that answer. Todo believes that this is the only punishment sorcerers must endure.
