Toge Inumaki (狗巻棘) is a second-year student at Tokyo Jujutsu High and a Semi-Grade 1 jujutsu sorcerer in Jujutsu Kaisen, the manga written and illustrated by Gege Akutami, serialized in Weekly Shōnen Jump from March 5, 2018, to September 30, 2024, across 27 volumes and 271 chapters. The anime adaptation by MAPPA aired its first season from October 2020 to March 2021, the prequel film Jujutsu Kaisen 0 on December 24, 2021, in Japan, and the second season from July to December 2023.
Toge’s Cursed Technique – Cursed Speech (呪言, Jūgen) – imbues his spoken words with cursed energy and forces compliance: commands like “Crush,” “Burst,” “Sleep,” and “Don’t Move” cannot be disobeyed by either humans or cursed spirits within his technique’s range. The power is hereditary to the Inumaki clan, whose members carry the Snake and Fangs seal markings on their cheeks – the symmetrical red-purple dots on Toge’s face that are the collection’s most distinctive design element.
The cost of Cursed Speech is his own voice: every command damages his throat in proportion to its power, which means Toge must carefully ration his speech and rest his voice extensively between uses. For daily communication, he uses only the names of onigiri (rice ball) fillings – salmon, tuna mayo, mustard leaf, cod roe, bonito flakes – interpreted by context by the people around him. This specific character decision made Toge Inumaki one of the most immediately beloved characters in the series’ global fandom within the first season of the anime.

What’s Inside
Portrait Pages – The Cheek Seals
Toge’s portrait pages are the collection’s most technically specific – not because of hair complexity or outfit detail, but because of the Snake and Fangs seal markings on his cheeks. These markings are the single most important coloring detail in any Toge page: two sets of symmetrical marks, one on each cheek, arranged in a pattern that resembles the decorative markings on onigiri packaging or the abstract representation of snake fangs. They are rendered in red-purple against his pale skin and are small enough to require the most precise fine-motor application of anything in this collection.
His overall design is understated relative to most Jujutsu Kaisen characters – pale lavender-grey hair, a calm expression that rarely escalates to dramatic effect, and the standard Jujutsu High dark uniform. The restraint of everything else in his design places the cheek markings and the raised collar covering his mouth as the two elements that define him at a glance. Without the markings, the portrait page would not read as Toge. With them rendered correctly, nothing else is needed for identification.
Coloring Toge’s portrait: His hair is a pale lavender – the specific grey-lavender of official anime and merchandise art, lighter in value than a standard purple and cooler in tone than grey. Apply it at moderate pressure across the entire hair mass, with a very subtle darker lavender in the deepest shadow areas. His skin is pale – a cool-light complexion without a warm undertone. His eyes are a cool grey-violet. The cheek markings should be applied last, in a red-purple (between true red and true purple – the specific magenta-adjacent tone of the Snake and Fangs seal), with maximum attention to their precise shape and symmetry on both cheeks.
The Turtleneck and Raised Collar Pages
Toge’s most consistent fashion choice – maintaining a high collar or turtleneck that covers the lower half of his face – is both a character-world safety measure and his most recognizable silhouette element. The collar covering his mouth means that portraits from certain angles show only the upper half of his face: the pale lavender hair, the grey-violet eyes, and the cheek markings visible above the dark collar line.
These pages present the specific visual challenge of a half-obscured face. All character identification must be carried by the visible upper half, with no mouth expression available to communicate emotional state. Toge’s eyes carry his entire emotional range in these compositions – the only available expressive element, and accordingly the most important coloring detail when the lower face is covered.
Coloring raised-collar pages: The dark turtleneck or uniform collar should be near-black – the deep navy-black of the Jujutsu High uniform, applied at full pressure along the collar’s edge and graduating to slightly lighter navy in the broader fabric areas. The boundary between the collar and the chin/jaw area should be a clean, precise line. This edge is the composition’s visual center, and its precision determines how clearly the covered-mouth concept reads.
Cursed Speech Action Pages
Action pages showing Toge using Cursed Speech capture the series’ most visually specific technique application: Toge with his collar pulled down or mouth open, speaking a command word, with the cursed energy visual – typically rendered as sound-wave-like lines radiating from his voice, or as a dark, dense energy effect in the direction of the command.
His expression during Cursed Speech use is notably different from his usual contained calm – the technique requires commitment, and his face shows it. These pages are the collection’s most dramatically rendered Toge compositions.
Coloring action pages: The Cursed Speech visual effect should be rendered in dark purple or deep violet – the color associated with cursed energy across the series’ aesthetic – radiating outward from the mouth area in wave or line patterns. The surrounding atmosphere often darkens in these scenes; the background can receive a dark, cool grey-blue to suggest the ambient cursed energy field. Toge’s face in action pages is the most expressive in the collection – render the visible expression carefully before adding the technique’s effects.
Second-Year Trio – Toge with Maki and Panda
Toge’s second-year cohort at Tokyo Jujutsu High consists of himself, Maki Zenin, and Panda – three characters so visually different from each other that group pages achieve immediate visual diversity through their character designs alone. Maki is a tall, serious young woman with glasses and an athletic build; Panda is an enormous, mutated,d cursed corpse who genuinely looks like a panda; Toge is the smallest of the three, pale and quiet.
The trio’s visual and personality diversity is itself a form of character design achievement – three people who share a school year and nothing else in terms of appearance, ability type, or communication style, who nevertheless function as a coherent team.
Coloring the trio: In group pages, color priority should go to establishing each character’s distinct identity. Maki: warm skin tone, dark hair with the characteristic high side-bun, Jujutsu uniform. Panda: black and white – the actual coloring of a panda’s fur pattern, not a grey approximation – with the distinctive eye patches and round body shape. Toge: pale lavender hair, cool light skin, dark uniform, the cheek markings carefully placed. Three completely different color profiles in a single composition.
Onigiri Reference Pages
Some pages in the collection reference the onigiri communication system – either directly depicting onigiri (rice balls) as a visual motif alongside the character, or placing Toge in contexts that suggest the salmon/tuna mayo communication vocabulary. These pages are the most tonally light in the collection – the onigiri communication pattern is the character’s most beloved comedic element.
Onigiri have a specific visual: a roughly triangular rice shape, often wrapped in a strip of dark nori (dried seaweed) at the base, sometimes decorated with a small design on the wrapping. The salmon filling is invisible in a standard onigiri,ri but can be suggested by a pale orange-pink spot on the rice surface.
Coloring onigiri: The rice is white with a very subtle warm grey in the compressed areas. The nori wrapping is dark green-black – the specific, very dark green of dried seaweed, rendered at maximum pressure along the wrapping strip. The triangular shape should be rendered with a slight off-white shadow at the lower edges where the rice compresses.
What These Pages Do
Toge Inumaki’s communication system is one of manga’s most creative character design decisions. The constraint – that any word he speaks becomes a cursed command – required a solution that maintains his social participation without compromising his safety or others’. The solution is the onigiri vocabulary: a closed set of semantically neutral words whose communicative function is entirely contextual. The people around him have learned to read his meaning through context, intonation, and familiarity. This is communication without words about meaningful things, which is both a practical necessity and an unusually sophisticated observation about how communication actually works.
The Snake and Fangs seal is the series’s most precisely detailed hereditary marking. Unlike the general cursed energy tattoos that appear on various characters, Toge’s cheek markings are hereditary – specific to the Inumaki clan, functional as a component of his technique, and detailed enough in their specific pattern to distinguish him from any other character in the series at a glance. They are the most precisely required coloring detail in this collection.
The cost of Cursed Speech externalizes the theme of personal sacrifice. Toge’s technique physically harms him every time he uses it at full power – his voice is the medium of his power and its most immediate casualty. This is the series’ broader theme – that jujutsu sorcery extracts costs from the practitioners – made most personal and most literal in his case. The coloring pages that show him using the technique at full power are illustrations of that cost being accepted.
Fine motor development. The American Academy of Pediatrics identifies fine motor skill development as a key childhood milestone throughout early childhood. The cheek marking precision, the collar boundary clarity, and the Cursed Speech energy effect all work to provide a highly motivated fine motor challenge. The 2005 Art Therapy Journal study on structured coloring and anxiety reduction applies throughout.
How to Color These Pages Well
The cheek markings are the entire character – do them last and do them precisely. The Snake and Fangs seal markings on Toge’s cheeks are small, symmetrically placed on both cheeks, and rendered in a specific red-purple. The sequence: complete the entire face – skin tone, eyes, hair – before applying the markings. Then place the markings over the completed face as a final detail, using the finest tool available. The markings’ symmetry – same shape, same placement, same size on both cheeks – is the most important precision requirement in the collection. Any asymmetry reads as immediately incorrect.
The pale lavender hair requires a true lavender – not white, not purple, not grey. Toge’s hair sits at the specific intersection of grey, white, and light purple that reads as lavender. Test the color against white paper: it should be clearly distinguishable from white while remaining significantly lighter than a true purple. If your lavender reads as white with a hint of purple, it is too pale. If it reads as purple, it is too saturated. The correct tone sits in the mid-point: visibly lavender, visibly pale.
The turtleneck collar boundary is a clean architectural edge. The line where the dark collar meets the skin of the jaw or chin – or covers the lower face entirely – is a clean, straight (or slightly curved) boundary that should be rendered with precise edge control. Apply the dark navy-black of the collar up to but not past this boundary. The collar color touching the skin area reads as incorrect; the skin touching the collar area reads as a gap. Use a careful, controlled stroke along this boundary.
Eyes carry all expression when the mouth is covered. On any page showing Toge with his collar up over his mouth, the eyes are the only expressive element. The grey-violet irises should receive enough tonal variation to read as dimensional – a lighter grey-violet at the highlight area, the main grey-violet across the iris, and a slightly darker ring at the iris edge. The pupil is black at the center. Without the mouth visible, the eyes’ tonal quality determines whether the character appears engaged, concerned, neutral, or calculating.
Cursed Speech energy effects read as dark purple wave lines. Unlike some anime technique effects that use vivid, bright colors, Cursed Speech is typically rendered in dark, dense purple – the color of concentrated cursed energy rather than the bright yellow or orange of impact effects. Apply deep purple or dark violet in the wave-line patterns radiating from the speaking direction. The darkest purple should be at the origin point (the mouth) and graduate outward to slightly lighter purple at the wave edges.
5 Creative Craft Ideas
The Onigiri Communication Dictionary
Print a clean Toge portrait page. Color it carefully in canonical colors – the pale lavender hair, the cheek markings, the dark uniform collar.
On a separate piece of paper alongside the portrait, create a hand-drawn “communication dictionary” – a reference card organized as a small chart:
Salmon (鮭) → Yes / I agree / Hello
Tuna Mayo (ツナマヨ) → I understand
Mustard Leaf (高菜) → Something is wrong / Be careful
Cod Roe (明太子) → No / Stop
Bonito Flakes (おかか) → Please / Thank you
Mount the portrait beside the dictionary card. The finished display is both fan art and a reference object – the onigiri vocabulary made legible as a system.
Cheek Seal Study
Print a close-up portrait page of Toge – specifically one that shows his face clearly enough to study the cheek markings in detail. Color the portrait completely. Then, on a separate piece of paper beside the portrait, draw and color the cheek marking pattern in isolation – large enough to show its specific arrangement of dots and lines clearly.
Mount both the portrait and the enlarged seal study on a backing sheet. Add a label: “Snake and Fangs Seal (蛇と牙) – Inumaki Clan. Hereditary. Required for Cursed Speech.” The display makes the franchise’s most detailed hereditary marking visible as both a facial detail and a standalone design element.
The Second-Year Trio – Three Designs, One Year
Print one page each for Toge, Maki Zenin, and Panda. Color all three: Toge in pale lavender and dark uniform, Maki in warm skin tone and dark uniform with her characteristic serious expression, Panda in black and white panda fur pattern.
Mount all three side by side. Below each, add their name and one defining characteristic: “Toge Inumaki – Cursed Speech: says what it means.” “Maki Zenin – No cursed energy. Carries weapons. Formidable.” “Panda – Mutated, cursed corpse. Identifies as a panda. Correct.”
The display captures the trio’s specific visual and personality diversity through the simplest possible character descriptions.
Before and After Shibuya
The Shibuya Incident Arc contains the most consequential moment in Toge’s story – his encounter with Ryomen Sukuna during Sukuna’s rampage, which results in the loss of his left arm. Print two Toge pages. Color both identically in his canonical colors.
On the first page, add nothing beyond the coloring. On the second page, in light pencil or thin marker, indicate the absence of the left arm by modifying or leaving that area incomplete.
Mount both with labels: “Before Shibuya” and “After Shibuya.” Add below: “He used his voice when it mattered most. The arm was the cost.” The display documents the series’s most significant physical cost paid by Toge without dramatizing it beyond what the images communicate.
Cursed Speech Command Cards
Print five copies of the same Toge action page (or use five different action pages). Color each in canonical colors. Cut each to a uniform card size.
On each card, add one of the technique’s known commands in the upper margin: “爆ぜろ (Hazerou) – Burst.” “逃げろ (Nigero) – Run Away.” “動くな (Ugoku na) – Don’t Move.” “寝ろ (Nero) – Sleep.” “吹き飛べ (Fukitobe) – Blast Away.”
The five cards together form a Cursed Speech technique reference set – each command documented on its own Toge card, the full known vocabulary of the technique organized as a display.
Frequently Asked Questions
Who is Toge Inumaki in Jujutsu Kaisen? Toge Inumaki (狗巻棘) is a second-year student at Tokyo Jujutsu High and a Semi-Grade 1 jujutsu sorcerer in Jujutsu Kaisen, the manga by Gege Akutami. He was born on October 23 and is approximately 17 at the series’ beginning. His cursed technique, Cursed Speech, imbues his spoken words with cursed energy, forcing compliance with any command he speaks. Because any word can become a command, he communicates in daily life exclusively using the names of onigiri fillings – salmon, tuna mayo, mustard leaf, and others – interpreted by context. He is a member of the Inumaki clan, a hereditary sorcerer family whose members carry the Snake and Fangs seal markings on their cheeks.
What is Cursed Speech and how does it work? Cursed Speech (呪言, Jūgen) is Toge Inumaki’s hereditary cursed technique, inherited from the Inumaki clan. When he speaks any word or phrase while the technique is active, that word is imbued with cursed energy and acts as an inviolable command – targets are forced to comply regardless of their own will or cursed energy level. The technique affects both humans and cursed spirits. Commands he has used include “Crush,” “Burst,” “Run Away,” “Don’t Move,” “Sleep,” and “Blast Away.” The cost of the technique is physical damage to his own throat proportional to the power of the command – more powerful commands cause more severe throat damage, potentially rendering him mute for extended periods.
Why does Toge only say onigiri ingredient names? Toge communicates exclusively using the names of rice ball (onigiri) fillings – salmon, tuna mayo, mustard leaf, cod roe, bonito flakes – as a daily safety measure. Because any word he speaks can become a cursed command affecting those around him, he uses a closed vocabulary of semantically neutral words whose communicative meaning is entirely determined by context, tone, and the familiarity of his conversation partners. The people around him – classmates, teachers, allies – have learned to interpret his meaning from context. This communication system is both a practical necessity of his power and the character trait most responsible for his popularity with the series’ fandom.
What are the marks on Toge’s cheeks? The symmetrical red-purple markings on Toge’s cheeks are the Snake and Fangs seal (蛇と牙) – a hereditary marking of the Inumaki clan that is both a physical manifestation of the clan’s cursed technique inheritance and a functional component of Cursed Speech’s operation. The marks appear on all members of the Inumaki clan who carry the Cursed Speech technique. They are present from birth and remain permanently visible. The specific pattern – symmetrically placed on both cheeks in a design that resembles both snake fang marks and onigiri decoration patterns – is the most immediately recognizable element of Toge’s design.
What happened to Toge during the Shibuya Incident? During the Shibuya Incident Arc – the series’ most consequential event, in which the curse user Kenjaku and his allies trap millions of civilians in Shibuya using a curtain barrier – Toge is among the sorcerers responding to the crisis. When Ryomen Sukuna, the King of Curses, goes on a rampage in Shibuya after being temporarily freed, Toge uses his most powerful Cursed Speech command against Sukuna. Sukuna severs Toge’s left arm in response. Toge survives the Shibuya Incident but loses his left arm, an injury with permanent consequences for his subsequent appearances in the series.
What is Toge’s relationship with his second-year classmates? Toge’s second-year cohort at Tokyo Jujutsu High consists of himself, Maki Zenin, and Panda – three characters with almost nothing in common in terms of appearance, ability type, or background. Maki Zenin is a young woman from a prestigious sorcerer family who possesses no cursed energy whatsoever and compensates with exceptional physical skill and weapon mastery. Panda is a mutated, cursed corpse who presents as a panda and genuinely identifies as one. Toge is the most conventionally human-looking of the three, with the most powerful and most unusual innate technique. The trio’s diversity is part of what has made them collectively popular with the series’ fandom.
