Jujutsu Kaisen has a lot of memorable characters, from the beloved Satoru Gojo to the Curse King Sukuna. And one name that definitely made an impression on viewers, despite its limited screen time, is Toji Fushiguro. He was a former member of the Zen'in clan and a notorious assassin known as the Curse Killer.
A former rival of Gojo, Toji challenged the young wizard to a duel several times, but failed to defeat the Jujutsu master. Despite this, fans have developed a fondness for Toji. Even author Gege Akutami revealed that Toji was modeled after action movie icon Jason Statham. This information comes from a Jujutsu Kaisen exhibition currently taking place in Tokyo.
Statham has appeared in many blockbuster projects, most notably the Fast and Furious series, The Expendables, The Transporter and many others.
Statham is a true big screen hero, just look at his physique to prove it. Toji himself in Jujutsu Kaisen is quite muscular. When you put the two side by side, you can see the similarity in their physiques. They also carry a special confidence.
Fans were a bit surprised by the above information: “So this guy has the whole world chasing Jason Statham's physique.”
This revelation also made fans look at Toji in a new light, with a better idea of his height and the impression Gege was going for.
