10 anime characters who look like Satoru Gojo

Anime characters have become quite popular over the years, but Satoru Gojo has definitely been a worldwide phenomenon in recent times. The Jujutsu Kaisen sensei has become a modern icon of the medium, with a lot of people praising his characterization, his charisma, and, truth be told, his looks.

There is no denying that there are a lot of people who love Satoru Gojo because of his looks, his albino hair, and his blue sky eyes. In that regard, there are a lot of anime characters who look similar, and many of them even predate Gojo to the point that it could be theorized that some of them influenced the latter.

10 anime characters who share Satoru Gojo's looks and their stories

1) Kakashi Hatake (Naruto)

Kakashi is the most obvious example of anime characters who look like Satoru Gojo from Jujutsu Kaisen. The similarity is such that a lot of people think that the former was a major inspiration for the latter. It would make sense since they are both tall, both have white hair, both are covering their eyes (Kakashi is covering only one), and their clothes even have some similarities.

When it comes to their characters, they both have childhood friends who they lost and went rogue, such as Obito Uchiha and Suguru Geto. They are also mentors to the main trio of their series, although is fair to say that Gojo is a lot more prominent in his respective story when compared to Kakashi.

Even their mannerisms are quite similar if we look closely. Both are one of the strongest characters of their respective series, with Gojo being the strongest sorcerer of the modern times. However, they are both laidback and have very few people they open up to. They are also very close to their students and deeply care for them.

Kisuke Urahara (Bleach)

Kisuke Urahara's case is quite interesting because, as far as anime characters who look like Satoru Gojo go, he has been treated in recent years as "Gojo before Gojo". They both have similar hairstyles and also have similar personalities, to the point that they are teachers to their respective protagonists while being very playful and lighthearted.

However, it has to be said that Urahara does have a darker side when compared to Gojo, especially considering some of his decisions throughout the story. A lot of fans have forgotten that he was the one who planted the Hogyoku within Rukia Kuchiki, which led to a clash with Aizen during the Soul Society arc.

It is also worth taking into account that Gojo is a lot more gung-ho when it comes to fighting and relies greatly on his own natural strength. On the other hand, Urahara uses his wits and intelligence to come up with a lot of solutions, although he is quite powerful, as evidenced when he fought Askin Nakk Le Vaar.

3) Tengen Uzui (Demon Slayer)

Tengen Uzui is one of the anime characters who looks like Satoru Gojo since they both have white hair, but it is worth noting that they also have similar personalities. They are both very flashy individuals, a bit arrogant and have a lot of luck with the ladies, which is something that makes them quite popular in real life.

Tengen is the Sound Hashira and was a key ally for Tanjiro Kamado and his friends during the Entertainment District arc. This was to the point that they wouldn't have won against the Upper Moon they faced without his support. All the Hashira have been quite popular in the Demon Slayer fandom but there is an argument to be made that Tengen is certainly on top of the list.

4) Griffith (Berserk)

There are very few anime characters as iconic as Griffith, and he is widely regarded as one of the greatest villains in the history of the medium. In that regard, he also looks like a medieval version of Satoru Gojo, although it is fair to say that Griffith has more feminine traits in his appearance. This was something that was mentioned in the Berserk manga.

It is also fair to say that Gojo and Griffith have very different personalities, with the latter being a lot more manipulative, vindictive, and obsessive with his own goals. Gojo does have the objective of changing Jujutsu society but never crosses any major moral lines, which is something that cannot be said about Griffith.

The leader of the Band of the Hawk and Guts' bestfriend turns evil for his ambitions and becomes the primary antagonist of the series. Gojo might not hesitate from taking strong steps for the greater good, but he won't harm anyone innocent. He remained a trusted ally and the beloved mentor for the younger generation like Yuta and Yuji.

5) Killua Zoldyck (Hunter X Hunter)

There are very few anime characters who get compared to Satoru Gojo as much as Killua Zoldyck of Hunter X Hunter fame. That is because they are both white-haired, with blue eyes, and similar personalities as they like to mess with people. They also have a darker, deadlier side they use when things get serious.

When the second season of Jujutsu Kaisen came out, a lot of people said that the kid version of Gojo looked a lot like Killua. This emphasized the trend that the Hunter X Hunter character looked like a kid version of Gojo, a very apt comparison to make.

6) Yoko Kurama (Yu Yu Hakusho)

Another one of the most iconic anime characters (Image via Studio Pierrot).

Kurama from Yu Yu Hakusho was already one of the most popular characters of the 90s because of his looks and charming personality. However, his Yoko form not only makes him one of the anime characters who look like Satoru Gojo but also even more popular and beloved because it shows his more sadistic and cruel personality.

There were some instances in the series when Kurama broke away from his human form and returned to the look he had when he was a pure demon. He has long, white hair, the color of his eyes changes, and he becomes a lot more evil and violent, something that his human form seems to keep in check.

While a lot of authors would have merely used this as a power-up, Yoshihiro Togashi established this as something negative for Kurama's character since he wanted to break away from who he was. It is a different arc from the one Gojo went through in Jujutsu Kaisen but is still a very charming direction.

7) Garou (One Punch Man)

Another one of the most prominent albino anime characters (Image via J.C. Staff).

The self-proclaimed "Hero Hunter" and a major adversary of the Hero Association and Monster Association, it can be argued that Garou and Satoru Gojo are similar and different at the same time. They both have similar looks and also have a place as the most popular individuals of their respective series, although that is as far as it goes for these anime characters.

Garou grew up idolizing villains and monsters, to the point he trained hard to become one, and as an adult, he has become an enemy to heroes throughout the series. Unlike Gojo, he wasn't born as the strongest and there are many moments in One Punch Man when he is outmatched and needs to come up with a strategy to pull off a victory.

However, it could be argued that Garou's rivalry with Saitama can be considered similar to the one Gojo developed with Ryomen Sukuna. That is because both Saitama and Sukuna craved a challenge after so many years as the most powerful and Garou and Sukuna were perhaps the challenge they were looking for.

8) Ken Kaneki (Tokyo Ghoul)

One of the most peculiar anime characters (Image via Studio Pierrot).

Most Tokyo Ghoul fans know that Kaneki goes through a lot of transformations throughout the story, but his white hair look is the most iconic in the franchise. This is also the version of the character who looks the most like Satoru Gojo, although is fair to say that he is a very different person to Kaneki.

Ken Kaneki started as a normal Literature student at university and was infected by Rize Kamishiro's kakuhou, which transformed him into a one-eyed ghoul. This leads to a set of situations throughout the story where he evolves and changes, having to deal with his new needs of eating human flesh as a ghoul and also keeping his own humanity.

Satoru Gojo never had an issue dealing with his powers and was already powerful from the moment he was born, so is difficult to say that they share similarities beyond their looks. It could be argued that Gojo's place as the strongest sorcerer made him struggle with his own humanity, much like Kaneki. However, this is up for interpretation since they are very different anime characters.

9) Sesshomaru (Inuyasha)

One of the most popular anime characters of the 2000s (Image via Sunrise).

Inuyasha was one of the biggest series in the 2000s and there is a strong argument to be made that Sesshomaru was one of the most popular anime characters of that era. In many ways, his popularity was similar to Gojo's, especially because they both have white hair, powerful abilities, and charisma. That being said, Sesshomaru is certainly a lot more serious and cold.

He is also the half-brother of the protagonist, Inuyasha, and has his own reason for taking the life of the main antagonist of the series, Naraku. Sesshomaru is also one of the few yokai in the anime who never had an interest in having the Shikon Jewel and mostly wanted a challenge as a fighter and proved himself as the strongest warrior of the Feudal Era.

In that regard, it could be argued that Sesshomaru and Gojo share a similar mindset of wanting to test their abilities. Inuyasha's half-brother also shows moments of compassion and willingness to help others and this develops his character throughout author Rumiko Takahashi's series.

10) Hajime Umemiya (Wind Breaker)

A prominent example of anime characters compared to Gojo (Image via CloverWorks).

It is fair to say that Hajime Umemiya of Wind Breaker fame was always going to be one of the anime characters compared to Satoru Gojo. This is not only because they both have white hair and blue eyes but also because they share the same Japanese voice actor, Yuichi Nakamura. While that is a very obvious set of similarities, there are other elements that they share in common.

He is a third-year student at Furin High School and the leader of Bofurin, with his easygoing personality and charisma being an obvious similarity to the Jujutsu Kaisen student. However, much like Gojo, he has his own set of traumas and issues to deal with that he hides beneath his charming attitude and also has the weight of being the strongest.

Final thoughts

Satoru Gojo has become one of the most popular anime characters in recent years, so it makes a lot of sense that a lot of people would like to know more characters like him. Some of these examples predate Gojo and have their own legacies in the medium, to the point of being extremely influential and iconic, as most anime fans are aware.
