Generate JJK cursed spirit names in the style of Jujutsu Kaisen: canon curses like Mahito, Jogo and the Smallpox Deity, original special grades with short Japanese names, yokai-born curses, sorcerer registry labels by grade and location, and modern dread given a name.

About JJK cursed spirit names

Jujutsu Kaisen names its curses by how much they matter. The special grades that can talk choose their own names, and those names are short Japanese words pointing at what they were born from: Jogo (disaster), Hanami (flower viewing), Dagon (the sea), Mahito (demon person, the curse of humans hating humans). Everything below that is filed, not named. Jujutsu High logs curses by grade and haunt, so the series is full of labels like the Yasohachi Bridge curse, the Roppongi curse and Finger Bearer, and a mid-ranked curse in a school is just "a Grade Two in the gym." A handful take on folklore shapes and inherit folklore names, like the Smallpox Deity and Kuchisake-onna.

This generator follows those same tiers. You get single-word Japanese names built from emotions and body parts (Nikushimi, Onnen, Yubi-kui), yokai that the series has not used yet (Rokurokubi, Kamaitachi, Dodomeki), full registry labels you can drop into a mission briefing (Special Grade Curse, Morioka Tunnel Incident; Grade Three Curse of the Sumida Bathhouse), and flat English epithets in the tone of the subtitles for curses born from commuting, exams, hospitals and group chats.

Match the style to the curse's rank: a special grade earns a name, a Grade Two earns a file number.

How to choose JJK cursed spirit names

  • Work out what negative emotion spawned your curse before you name it; in JJK the name points at the source (volcanoes, forests, the sea, human hatred), never at the curse's appearance.
  • For an OC that fights the main cast, keep the name to one or two Japanese syllables with a hard ending, like Jogo or Dagon; for background curses, use a grade-and-place label from the list so it sounds like it came off a Jujutsu High report.
  • Grades matter for tone: Grade Four and Three curses are barely sapient, Grade Two and One can have a recognizable shape, and only special grades talk and scheme. Give a name proportional to the rank.
  • If you base the curse on a yokai, say how the modern fear changed it: a Rokurokubi in a crowded train car, a Kamaitachi made of escalator edges. The twist is what makes it a cursed spirit rather than a folklore cameo.
  • Avoid names that are already claimed by canon characters, sorcerers or shikigami (Mahoraga, Nue, Divine Dogs) unless you are writing about those exact beings; the list marks canon entries at the top for reference.

Frequently asked questions

What are the canon cursed spirit names in Jujutsu Kaisen?

The named special grades are Mahito, Jogo, Hanami, Dagon, Kurourushi, the Smallpox Deity, Rika (the Queen of Curses) and the death paintings Choso, Eso and Kechizu. Lower curses are mostly known by label: Finger Bearer, Grasshopper Curse, the Roppongi curse, the Yasohachi Bridge curse, Fly Heads, Rainbow Dragon, Max Elephant. Shikigami like Nue, Mahoraga and Divine Dogs are cursed spirits too, but they serve sorcerers.

How do I name a special grade cursed spirit OC for JJK?

Pick the fear or grudge it embodies, find a short Japanese word for it, and stop there. Nikushimi (hatred), Onnen (grudge), Zetsubo (despair) and Musebi (choking) all work the way Jogo and Hanami do. Add a title only if sorcerers gave it one afterward, like Kuchisake-onna or the Smallpox Deity.

What does a JJK curse registry label look like?

Jujutsu High records curses by grade, then location or incident: Grade One Curse of Hokkaido University Hospital, Special Grade Curse of the Sendai Subway, Semi-Grade One of the Asakusa Temple Gate. Unregistered Special Grade is used for anything the school missed. The list includes dozens you can copy into a mission or fanfic.

Is this different from the regular cursed spirit name generator?

Yes. Both are Jujutsu Kaisen based, but this page has a fresh set of original names, leans harder on registry-style grade labels and body-part Japanese names, and uses different yokai. If you want more folklore-heavy or modern-dread names, try both lists together.
