Kenjaku the Mastermind
The ancient sorcerer who moves from body to body and plans the Culling Game.
Kenjaku is an ancient sorcerer who orchestrated the Shibuya Incident and the Culling Game in order to recreate the Heian era in modern Japan. He is a brain-like entity that moves from host to host and keeps each host's Cursed Technique, such as Suguru Geto's Cursed Spirit Manipulation and Kaori Itadori's Antigravity.
Lore & Background
In the body of Noritoshi Kamo he created the Cursed Womb: Death Paintings 150 years ago, and in Kaori Itadori's body he gave birth to Yuji Itadori. His plan is to merge Tengen with the whole population of Japan. Earlier attempts failed because of a Six Eyes user and Tengen's assimilation with a Star Plasma Vessel; Toji Fushiguro's killing of Riko Amanai, the taking of Geto's body and the sealing of Satoru Gojo in the Prison Realm cleared the way.
Reader's Guide
In Shibuya he seals Gojo, absorbs Mahito and uses Idle Transfiguration to awaken sorcerers across Japan for the Culling Game. He later takes control of the Kamo clan, kills Yuki Tsukumo and captures Tengen. Fumihiko Takaba's reality-warping comedy holds his attention long enough for Yuta Okkotsu to behead him; before dying he adds a rule that lets Sukuna, in Megumi's body, begin the merger.
