Generate cursed spirit names in the Jujutsu Kaisen style: canon curses like Mahito, Jogo, Hanami and the Smallpox Deity, yokai-born spirits like Kuchisake-onna and Gashadokuro, and hundreds of original special-grade and unregistered curses born from fear, grudge and everyday dread.

About cursed spirit names

In Jujutsu Kaisen, cursed spirits are born from the negative emotions people leak over time, so the strongest ones carry names that say what they are made of. Jogo, Hanami and Dagon are curses of humanity's fear of volcanoes, forests and the sea, and their names are short, almost elemental Japanese words. Mahito, written with the characters for "true person," is the curse born from humans' hatred and fear of one another. Lesser curses often have no name at all and are logged by grade and location (the Yasohachi Bridge curse, the Roppongi curse), or by a visible trait (Finger Bearer, Fly Heads, Grasshopper Curse). A few inherit names straight from folklore, like the Smallpox Deity and Kuchisake-onna.

That gives you four workable naming styles for an original curse: a single Japanese word for the feeling or place that spawned it (Urami, Kegare, Kuragari); a yokai name that the curse grew into (Gashadokuro, Nure-onna, Aka Manto); a registry-style label built from grade and haunt (Grade One Sewer Curse, Special Grade of the Sengoku Tunnel); or a flat English epithet in the tone of the subtitles, like Stairwell Gnawer or Hollow Mother.

The list mixes all four. Pick the style that matches how your curse is known: sorcerers name the ones they fear, and leave the rest as case numbers.

How to choose cursed spirit names

Name the curse after the emotion or fear that birthed it, not after how it looks; Jogo is named for disaster, not for having a volcano head.
Weak and mid-grade curses usually go unnamed in canon, so a registry label like Semi Grade One Stairwell Curse reads more authentic for background spirits than a grand title.
Borrow a yokai name when your curse is the modern embodiment of an old folk fear, and change it slightly if the spirit has mutated past the legend.
Keep special grade names short and strange: one or two words with a hard stop sounds more dangerous than a long fantasy epithet.
Everyday dread makes good modern curses; school rooms, trains, hospitals, offices and phones are exactly the settings the series uses for its horror.

Frequently asked questions

How are cursed spirits named in Jujutsu Kaisen?

Major curses either name themselves (Mahito, Jogo, Hanami, Dagon) with short Japanese words tied to their origin, or are labeled by sorcerers according to where they appeared and how strong they are, such as the Yasohachi Bridge curse or a Grade One curse. Some carry folklore names like the Smallpox Deity.

What does a special grade cursed spirit name sound like?

Usually something brief and weighty: a two-syllable Japanese word (Jogo, Dagon), a yokai name (Kuchisake-onna, Tamamo-no-Mae), or a stark title (Smallpox Deity, Finger Bearer). The list marks this style with single-word entries and short epithets such as Hollow Mother and Sallow Choir.

Can I use these names for a Jujutsu Kaisen OC or fanfic?

Yes. The original names here are free to use for fan characters, fanfiction, tabletop games and art. Canon names like Mahito and Jogo belong to their creator and are listed for reference and inspiration.

What is the difference between a cursed spirit and a yokai?

In the series, cursed spirits are born from modern human negative emotion, while yokai are traditional Japanese folklore monsters. Many curses take yokai forms because people still fear those images, which is why names like Gashadokuro and Nure-onna fit naturally as cursed spirit names.
